Actually, I'm Stephen Fry...



(in my dreams, once. That was weird, possibly the result of one (too many) ZCs before bed...)

Ahh, you took it from Spartacus to Python, all wrapped up in a red, satin ribbon of Stephen Fry goodness. Brings a tear to this old queen's eye, 't does.

Cheers,
Brian

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.

... (go on sparrow, admit it, YOU are secretly stephen fry, aren't you !!)

Sadly no, he is not me and I'm not him neither (but I'm very flattered to be considered a suspect ) .

And I loooove spiders!!

I do not like spiders. I tolerate them in the garden where at least they do some good, but in the house all they seem to do is eat each other and the very occasional clothes moth (but not enough to warrant a truce).

well, but then, that is exactly what the real stephen fry *would* say, isn't it, if he were attempting to preserve his anonymity ?

i think my feelings about spiders have been amply exposed already, so i won't comment any further.

It can't be me, I wouldn't have a desk like this - it looks like a bomb site!
I'm more your minimalist chic type of MR member.

Trouble is there are just so many witty and intelligent posters round here; he could be anyone.

Maybe he is; maybe me and Stephen Fry and the only MR members in the world!!! .
Gone on, admit it, you're all Stephen Fry!

(fans self with flattened hand and takes deep breaths)
I hadn't connected Stephen-Fry-the-comedian with Stephen-Fry-the-blogger until I read this post. Oh my. It makes his Vista rant so much more entertaining.

I've stopped thinking of him as Stephen Fry the <whatever> and now just think of him as The Stephen Fry.
