I was watching QI when he was chatting about geting chucked out of saltlake city for remarking 'what happens if you're good' after being told that when you die you join all of your family, cracked me up!<br /> <br /> only thing is, i find i have to hear it through a few times (which, to be fair, i would have done anyway &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; ) before i can get the jist of what he's saying but that's more a personal fault than the confusion of mr fry lol http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/when-does-number-3-happen#post-59753 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:35:47 +0000 PaulieY 59753@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ As ever I listened to today's 'cast at work and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the aesthetics movement and the blame placed on the &quot;breakdown of the family unit&quot; for society's ills<br /> <br /> Mr Fry’s comments were so true. Families of local “thugs” terrorised the council estate I grew up on, yet there are plenty of people from “broken homes” who are law abiding and contribute fully to society. I can quote this directly as my own life, my broken family home life growing up and my relative successes in life. Then my son’s own achievements (at a certain school in Suffolk Mr Fry is acquainted with), yet his father and I separated years ago.<br /> <br /> As for the podcasts – wonderful! I love the ‘raw’ (odd numbered) casts over the ‘polished’, but both styles are a refreshing change to other casts. Well done. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/when-does-number-3-happen#post-59745 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:07:37 +0000 amyl_nitrate 59745@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ (Approaches tentatively, not wanting to butt in on a personal conversation....)<br /> <br /> Some Wagner to accompany the Vineagar and soap-on-a-rope?

I was talking to Mrvica once (dont know have you heard of him) anyhow when he told me he practices for 10-12 hours before competitions and concerts I was gobsmacked. <br /> <br /> About conductors I had the opportunity to see Mehta with Vienna Philharmonic orchestra (I think) now that was something else... and Sutej wasnt half bad either... <br /> <br /> Axm ok on your head be it, next time I'm in East Anglia I'll arm myself with cider vinegar, some soap on the rope (I think I'll go for Lush their soaps smell divine &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; although I dont know how I'll pull off the Wagner bit... and here I was thinking a general chat up line will do... tssss my only saving grace at this point is that for some reason I am quite interesting to gay males... because lets be frank vinegar and soap, I dont have much to work with X-D http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/when-does-number-3-happen#post-59390 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 06:03:57 +0000 flookwit 59390@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ (Approaches tentatively, not wanting to butt in on a personal conversation....)<br /> <br /> Some Wagner to accompany the Vineagar and soap-on-a-rope?

I heard from someone who works in a Drosophila lab that they use vinegar in flytraps, not sugar or honey or anything like that. Cider vinegar mixed with some soap, so that the flies can't escape. <br /> <br /> QI moment! &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; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/when-does-number-3-happen#post-59301 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 11:33:27 +0000 robertas 59301@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I am of firm belief you can get more flies with sugar then vinegar (or something to that effect, pardon me a) I'm blond and b) English is not my native tongue) however yes 3rd podgram would be really lovely... pretty please?! <br /> <br /> And may I just add that you Mr. Fry are an absolutely dashing man with great brilliance and unparalleled wit...
