Perhaps he visits the lounge in disguise... |
/me starts looking around to see which of the llounge llamas could be stephen fry incognito... good god, it could be almost anyone... not patricia because i've met her and she's a lot shorter than stephen fry... not lazy scot or mindy unless they've signed a pact of secrecy together... hmm, maybe it's sparrow !!!
i'm not at all surprised that stephen fry has a liseuse, i wouldn't have expected less of him, after all he loves gadgets and technology (except vista.
) however the fact that he knows about mr opens up dizzying new perspectives of potential far-fewer-than-6-degrees-separation. i think i'm having palpitations again. (fans self with flattened hand and takes deep breaths)

If it's any compensation, I've heard wetas are an absolute laugh-riot, so hopefully the wit will live on.

i find it deeply reassuring to see that stephen fry's reactions to arachnids and giant insects is very similar to my own (except of course that i would never let them actually crawl on me. i don't understand that at all). it makes him somehow more human and accessible, as we have that primal terror in common.
