Tasmin Greig (would really suit the somewhat abstract style QI offers). Victoria Wood (possibly the finest comedienne ever - why not?) Lastly, quite a long shot: Emma Watson (being genuinely intelligent, would be interesting to see how she does) Male guests: Dylan Moran (QI does well with its grumpy comics - Moran could work just as well) Richard Ayoade (Another great deadpan character) Mark Watson (Adorable and very funny) Ed Byrne (Am really surprised he hasn't already made an appearance) Last, another long shot: Stewart Lee (don't think it would be his thing, but would love to see him on there) spekt909 on "Just registered and wanted to say..." http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/just-registered-and-wanted-to-say#post-293431 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:19:25 +0000 spekt909 293431@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ After watching Stephen's discussion with Craig Ferguson on the 22nd I had to find out more about him. I have always seen him as an actor and after hearing him speak made me seek out more. As a novice im going to read the QI books to start. Keep up the good work and look forward to finding more information and contributing into the community on this site. - Rob <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAVMq01STRQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAVMq01STRQ</a> spessial on "Cheap Built Up Kitchens" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/cheap-built-up-kitchens#post-293429 Fri, 24 May 2013 09:08:36 +0000 spessial 293429@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Cheap Built Up Kitchens w w w.s o l i d w o o d k i t c h e n.co.u k .

This type of music is a hit with youngsters at the moment, as most dancers follow it regularly and everyone is drawn towards the dance floor because of its rhythmic beats. While searching on the Internet for a good collection of songs, I came across a good site i.e. <a href="http://www.musicforte.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.musicforte.com</a> - they will give you the best club music of contemporary and classic times at your required choice and budget too. Mandiemouse on "A rant against society" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/a-rant-against-society#post-293373 Tue, 21 May 2013 15:17:24 +0000 Mandiemouse 293373@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I am wondering if the rant against society should actually be a rant against the structure that is in place that creates the society. We all function in a patriarchal structure tied into a state-sponsored capitalist viewpoint, and therefore this structure has within it deeply engrained patriarchal views that exemplify only the voices of the western, white, straight, wealthy male. Working within these parameters it could be said that religion is understandably hard pressed to teach anti-violent, peaceful and un-gendered truths. Further, the religious traditions are deeply penetrated with violent language, thoughts and actions; all of which are over-spirtualised, all of which detract from love and flourishing. These are the narratives, rhetoric and doctrines that have a passion for death, a disregard of the body and earth, and focuses on the soul and ‘other worlds’ as a perfect conclusion to a wretched, painful and undesirable life on earth. This life, therefore, is nothing more than a testing ground where we must all act in a certain way before we can be saved (see Jantzen, 1998; MacFague, 1993; Grey, 1989; to name only a few who discuss this in detail). This is how sexuality is stifled, as the body is evil. (Personally, I think it is an obscenity that we talk about salvation in the next left, while all around there are people who can be saved with almost no effort (food, hygiene). We must start to imagine what flourishing could happen with extreme effort. But this is off topic really) One way of approaching violence within these parameters (and this includes the violence of stifling sexuality)is through feminist theologies that promote a horizontal nature of authority and exposes the ingrained narratives that disperses hate within the erect structure of patriarchy. Feminist theology reveals the flaws in this hierarchical structure, how it encourages selfishness, violence, abuse and reward for very few ‘winners’. Humans must be allowed to flourish. Suppressing only leads to metal trauma (and we all know that much devastation always follows from this). Maybe if we can stop asking "where is religion" when bad things happen; instead asking "what can religion do in the face of suppression (and oppression) of human flourishing" we can turn things around ourselves. I would like to give it a go I am sick of waiting for someone else to do it for us. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> Diplomat on "Badger, Badger, Badger" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/badger-badger-badger#post-293361 Mon, 20 May 2013 17:23:45 +0000 Diplomat 293361@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EllYgcWmcAY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EllYgcWmcAY</a> Brian May has helped create a new version of Weebl’s original YouTube sensation – Badger Badger Badger song (over 17 million hits) in support of his TeamBadger anti-cull campaign. father o blivion on "More horrible job stories from the Axis of Weevil" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/more-horrible-job-stories-from-the-axis-of-weevil#post-293359 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:49:31 +0000 father o blivion 293359@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ "I worked at several piles of photographs, staring into the eyes of strangers and dabbing at dazzling smiles.

Somehow? I think Stephen would be familiar with Benson's reference because he's well read (not least on Wilde) and because Benson is almost obligatory reading for the stereotypical, well-read gay man. No, I'm not calling our man 'stereotypical'. Anyway, there you are. Secondly, I smile with approval at Stephen's cheekiness in rewriting Wodehouse to have Jeeves describe himself as Bertie's 'valet'. Stephen will know that Jeeves would sniffily insist that he was a 'gentleman's gentleman'. I'm sure that Stephen made this change for the sole purpose of pronouncing the final 't' in 'valet'. Good on him. I'd do the same.

And, of course, a bloody clever attention-getter. Nothing wrong on either count. It surprises me, nevertheless, that he hasn't acknowledged (if indeed he hasn't) a passing debt to E.F. Benson's comment that for Oscar Wilde "Mayfair was his washpot". Perhaps it's one of those instances which all of us can attest to, of having come across a happy turn of phrase, stored it away for years, in the course of which any provenance is forgotten.

I cannot imagine anything more heartbreaking. I can only guess at the pain you have experienced in losing your precious child. I just saw the episode you are referring to. I can certainly see this would be a sensitive subject for you. But I am not entirely sure that I agree Stephen was making light of a terribly sad statistic. I got the sense it was a rueful commentary, from someone who knows personal demons all too well. I think any kind of chuckle or laugh you perceived was a sort of nervous reaction, not an attempt at actual humor. We all know there is absolutely nothing funny about suicide. I will keep you in my prayers, that despite your grief you find some solace and peace as time goes on. quidicik on "Flat Pack Kitchens Online" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/flat-pack-kitchens-online-4#post-293075 Fri, 10 May 2013 05:08:04 +0000 quidicik 293075@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Flat Pack Kitchens Online w w w . s o l i d w o o d k i t c h e n . c o . u k .

Even better when you can now get a larger thing that is better because things cost less then they did when you got the original thing. Even more wonderful is discovering that the new thing beeps in a much less irritating manner than the old thing. Although I do think all things should come with an an option to never ever beep under any circumstances whatsoever ever at all ever because beeping is fucking annoying. Except smoke alarms, I guess, though in my experience Labradors are better than smoke alarms, as a Labrador has actually saved me from a fire, but all a smoke alarm has ever done is make me fall to the floor, paralysed by the horrible sound, waiting for someone tall to take the battery out so I can continue to cook bacon. My point being, obviously, that we have a new microwave, and it is shiny and nice and doesn't smell like burnt porridge and exploded stir-fry and is big enough that the popcorn packet doesn't get caught on the side and can continue on it's merry journey around and around and around and around and around....

I can't really tell what bits of my weirdness are just me, which are because of mental illness, and which are the results of a really weird childhood.

The ITV documentary on Sunday, 'Hugh Laurie - Copper Bottom Blues', showed Hugh's passion for this music and I found his enthusiasm infectious, so I will be buying Didn't It Rain tomorrow! <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> Finders on "Why do we not have great minds like Stephen to do politics." http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/why-do-we-not-have-great-minds-like-stephen-to-do-politics#post-292925 Mon, 06 May 2013 16:08:46 +0000 Finders 292925@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ He's watching snooker right now.
