I cannot imagine anything more heartbreaking. I can only guess at the pain you have experienced in losing your precious child.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I will keep you in my prayers, that despite your grief you find some solace and peace as time goes on. </p> 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/ <p>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 .

Their lives and work have captured my heart and I wish do to exactly what they do. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me how a 21 Australian boy could find himself doing this. I.E. Colleges, courses, people etc.</p> <p>Thankyou </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/theme-music-2#post-292611 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 06:18:05 +0000 Laka 292611@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Yes, you could actually sell downloads of that theme song for money! Even the wispy piano version that only seems to be available in Australia. But I&#39;d definitely buy the ballsier trumpet version from the actual show.</p> <p>BTW Debbie Wiseman, Travels With Uncle Sam sums up America much better than the Star Spangled Banner.</p> <p>BTW Stephen, it was very nice to have a European (sorry) say genuinely kind things about Americans, as well as having the not so kind things be more thoughtful than what we&#39;re used to. Come back anytime! </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/ahhthe-deep-south#post-292541 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 10:52:06 +0000 lucycandy 292541@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>An ocean with world class fishing on one side of the state and the beautiful old mountains of the Blue Ridge on the other.

If you ever get back to Oklahoma (and really, not sure why you would!) but you might be interested in the political history of the state. Started out in 1907 as basically a state created in Indian Territory by a bunch of socialists - and now as right-wing red as you can get. I love your work! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/my-sincere-apologies-for-miami#post-292399 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:24:13 +0000 LadyCat 292399@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>My sincerest apologies that of all the armpits of this planet, your producers sent you to Miami. Just like every other state, Florida has some delightful towns, excellent food &amp; amusing people. If you ever make it back to Florida &amp; find yourself in the Tampa area, please allow me to stand you to a good dinner &amp; a pint of decent beer. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/luv-ya-guvna#post-292295 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:27:24 +0000 BatCity 292295@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Oh Stephen, all apologies for my last post where I hit on you and Jennifer Saunders, the 25% of me that is English feels shame. The norweigen in me wants to hold you down and do a line of coke off your ass. Anyways, Austin, Texas (Bat City) craves you. You are the perfect man, we worship you, come closer, my love. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/ahhthe-deep-south#post-288343 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:10:32 +0000 danamcausey 288343@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve lived in Louisiana my whole life and just wanted to say that never in my life have I seen or even heard of a white voodoo priestess, lol.

I refuse to buy books by internet as I do believe than if each of us make an effort, we&#39;ll may help the independ library to survive. Living in France, it seems hopeless for a while. But... I did find it! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; I&#39;m happy to say we have a few independant english library in some village in the south of France. and so there is one in mine, to Valbonne. And so were this marvelous little treasure. I can tell you it makes me happy as a child when i found it on the shelf. I&#39;m afraid to have scared the poor woman. I just devored the book, the anecdote, I got delight with the wonderful pictures. It allowed me to travel in this amazing country. Really thank you! More of all, you allowed me to get a new point of view on the population, other than the one given by medias or movies. After all, Ignorance can only be fight by objectivity. And it appears to be a book full of objectivity. Full of love too, but an objective love... Waawww, how did you do it?! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif&quot; title=&quot;:mrgreen:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>So, thanks! xxxx </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/growing-up-in-princeton#post-287791 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:23:09 +0000 NewJerseyGal 287791@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Stephen, I just watched Stephen Fry in America on Netflix and LOVED it!</p> <p>I&#39;m so sorry you weren&#39;t born in Princeton; you and I would have grown up together there. What fun that would have been (for me, anyway).</p> <p>But had you grown up in Princeton, Stephen, you would have gone on the obligatory elementary school field trip to Washington Crossing State Park. There you would have learned that on that cold Christmas night, General Washington crossed the Delaware River from Pennsylvania, not Delaware, to New Jersey.</p> <p>I hope you&#39;ll do a second tour of the US, and treat us all to your wit and wisdom. But do tell your producers to get their American history straight before they send you out!</p> <p>Best wishes. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/ahhthe-deep-south#post-285577 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 02:42:20 +0000 jmw193 285577@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve just finished watching the films as well and very much enjoyed them. I too wished he had more time to explore each state, and I agree with the previous posts that the Carolinas are wonderful and diverse states. I have friends in Columbia and Charleston. </p> <p>I have to thank Mr. Fry for being so kind when coming upon some of our nation&#39;s flaws. Mississippi has been my home since I was born, and Clarksdale, MS (although it does have a fine blues heritage) is a struggling town. The entire delta is struggling really, and not just financially speaking. So many of the young people in MS fail to take ownership of their education and future. </p> <p>On a lighter note, the series has encouraged me to visit some states which I never thought of as very interesting, especially some of the planes states with their grand views of geological features. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/fry-in-alabama-and-georgia#post-285481 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 03:42:43 +0000 LovingMaine 285481@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>We are making our way through this on Netflix and just finished the travel up the Mississippi - three episodes to go. </p> <p>What I appreciate the most is including all the aspects of the US - our large cities, small towns, college football, and all the accents throughout our melting pot. I also like that he covers our national sorrows - the Civil War, our sorrows in Louisiana after Katrina, and homelessness which is very real especially today. </p> <p>We are enjoying the ride and looking forward to the Plains. </p>
