Us speculating and urging Fry to have a kid. As smart as he is, I&#39;m certain he himself must&#39;ve considered the notion, no?? And as thck skinned as he may be being a famous person, this is still wayyyyy to personal. Besides, why do we need his child?? We have HIM!!!!And I don&#39;t want to change anything about him or his choices, he is perfect exactly the way he his, like we all are. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-fry-must-breed-discuss#post-279971 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:32:04 +0000 cprobert38 279971@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Stephen Fry and Kathy Burke couldn&#39;t possibly have a child. &quot; SHE IS SMOKIN&#39; A FAAAAAG!&quot; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/message-from-andrew#post-277967 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:55:22 +0000 rtbroz 277967@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>The honeybee knows a future.............<br /> Just finished listening to your language podcast. You made a mistake stating that no animal, other than man, speaks about or recognizes its future. The honeybee, after finding flowers with pollen, returns to the hive and dances out the navigation to the other bees telling them: “if you follow these directions, you will find pollen” or as we might say, “ in the past I found flowers with pollen, I tell you now that in the future, if you follow these directions, you will find pollen and that future act is valuable to the hive and its future”. When someone hands you a map for directions, its use is always in the future. The bees “know” there is a future.</p> <p>rtbroz </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-fry-must-breed-discuss#post-277517 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:06:16 +0000 errandmike 277517@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>It brings to mind an interesting point. If Stephen Fry’s sperm were to go on the market, how many people would purchase it? How much would they be willing to pay? </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/uses-and-abuses#post-277267 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 21:42:30 +0000 april101 277267@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>wonderful just finish watching. I thought it was very much thought provoking and stimulating. You have opened up a new understanding of English speaking to me. The modern cultural language often confuses me and I am for ever correcting the children when they do there home work. but you have help to translate, thank you.<br /> secondly, would like to know your views Steven on hand writing,I am passionate about this and feel that it is important, yet we see less of it in today&#39;s living. like when was the last time you maybe or others including myself received a nice hand written letter from an aunt or so. well am still waiting, I talked about this to some friends that was intrigued. but do you feel its dying out or are we to lazy to take the time out to do this.?<br /> thank you April </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/mono-no-aware-and-the-limits-of-language#post-275858 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 03:29:02 +0000 apapgolf 275858@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I think I was decent, but not great, I need some time to hone!</p> <p>____________<br /> <a href="http://www.24globalgolf.com/">Discount Golf</a> </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/music-at-the-start-of-the-podgrams#post-275361 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:29:23 +0000 PCPC 275361@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Firstly - a message to Stephen - I genuinely hope you can find some time over the next little while to make another podgram..they are sublime..it&#39;s been way too long and I am having distinct withdrawal symptoms!</p> <p>Secondly - does anyone know what the bit of music is at the start of the podgram? The sort of clappy/piano ditty. I also heard it recently on the radio as a backing for a Telegraph advert...</p> <p>Hope someone can help...big love </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-fry-must-breed-discuss#post-270799 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:03:19 +0000 insomnia 270799@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Brilliant idea and guaranteed to make the man himslef laugh </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-fry-must-breed-discuss#post-270797 Tue, 31 May 2011 17:01:43 +0000 insomnia 270797@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Brilliant idea and guaranteed to make the man himslef laugh </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-fry-must-breed-discuss#post-265357 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:18:15 +0000 littlehuckleberry 265357@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>This is the cutest plea yet for Stephen to breed.

I sat in the train and gave the most perfect picture of human misery. This was up to the point I decided to get my iPod out and have a look at Stephen Fry&#39;s podgrams which I had only got the day before.<br /> In an instance my mood brightened up. It was fantastic. I sat there pressed play and within 30 seconds I was laughing so loud that fellow passengers started to stare bewildered at me.</p> <p>Dear Stephen, you saved my day. Thank you. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/dorm-room-posters/page/3#post-259257 Wed, 29 Dec 2010 10:49:42 +0000 lnapthali 259257@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I am not in university yet (six more weeks and I will be!) so I cannot really comment on the popularity of posters of uni students, but I&#39;ve found for those my age, the most comment poster is of a scantily-clad female spread across the hood of the car (for males) or (and I shudder to write this) Justin Bieber (for the females). Most people I know have not even heard of Oscar Wilde.</p> <p>As for myself, most of my wall is covered. I have a section of wall dedicated to black and white images including Brando, a smoking Cobain, Ava Gardener (the fox!), some hand-developed photos I took of the local cemetery, the infamous &#39;Kiss&#39; poster (that every young lesbian needs on her wall of course), some blurry pinhole photos and an image of New York City. I have a collage of photos of friends and family that forms the shape of a heart on another wall. Another wall has some abstract paintings of mine, a branch from my favourite childhood tree that was cut down recently, an artwork from the 2010 Sydney Art Biennale, a record, a poster my friend and i had to do for a Children Services class (depicting families with different cultures and utilising every racist and stereotypical view ever made of every race imaginable- particularly each of the ones we belong to) and a large map of Sydney and suburbs circa the late 80s.<br /> Another wall is covered by record covers. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/please-please-please-bring-out-more-podcasts#post-256309 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 23:39:44 +0000 diaji 256309@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>Woollyback <a href="//www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/please-please-please-bring-out-more-podcasts#post-249677&quot;">said</a>:</cite><br /> Message to Stephen - New podcasts needed now...Please!</p></blockquote> <p>Word. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/dorm-room-posters/page/2#post-254559 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 00:47:01 +0000 mickomea 254559@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>4orty2 <a href="&quot;&quot;//www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/dorm-room-posters#post-60466&quot;&quot;&quot;">said</a>:</cite><br /> I really liked the part about the posters mainly because I&#39;m a student myself and have (of course) some posters on the wall. And guess what? I even have an Oscar Wilde poster. Well, it&#39;s Oscar with a bunch of other Irish writers (Joyce, Beckett, Shaw etc.) In addition, they recently renovated our college pub on campus and put up giant pictures of the aforementioned gentlemen. Oscar posters can not only be found in dorm rooms but also in the pub! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif&quot; title=&quot;8)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> </blockquote> <p>Dear Stephen (should I luck on to you in the flesh) or Dear Any Other Friedman, Can you tell me where I might find a list of who&#39;s in the famous group portrait painting of Irish writers that&#39;s in the Writers Museum in Dublin (in the bookshop, I believe)?

I would like to have it as a written resource for English students to both listen and view the podgram.
