STEPHEN FRY

BAH, FAILZ. MINEZ IZ DECEMBER 16TH AND THERE IZ FREE CAKEZ!!!

HAH! MY BIRTHDAY IS ON DECEMBER 3RD, AND HE'S INVITED!

Lol, that even looks like a library style book cart to the right of him too.

Fryphile, you have an eye for detail and I know if I am ever in need of knowledge I shall never doubt again that if anyone has the answer, you do

That is one beefy mac though!!

You're not sad amy at all. I have a vastly growing pile of books (a meagre collection comparitively) and I'm so interested to read all of them I get frustrated that I can't start reading them all at once! I think ambition to read shows the ambition for acquisition of knowledge. And no one (at least not here) is going to begrudge anyone that *grins*.

I've been listening to his Blips. Well three of them, it said Mozart isn't available.

I got an irksome error message using the link from Twitter, but it plays fine for me on Blip's site. An excellent piece.

I've checked the FAQ it says that can happen if something happens to where the track is hosted like it can disappear if the site's down so it won't play.

Here's the Wilde poster.


There it is!



I wonder what my Fluffettes are up to . . .


*glibble*


I'd forgotten how many books he has, it is like on Beauty and the Beast.

I'd forgotten too! It reminds me of this second hand bookshop I went to in Wigtown, Scotland where they had books everywhere, in every nook and cranny, on the stairs, in towering piles all over the floor.

I was too busy drooling over the number of books. I'm the kind of saddo who get's too excited in libraries and bookshops. I just wanna stay forever reading.

You're not sad at all, amyl. I'm the same, I love discovering a new library and the excitement of the first look around. : ]

Aww. You're so kind Soph. *huggles*

That's what I was thinking. It makes it look even more like a library.

That's true. Acquisiton of knowledge is always good. I don't understand people who just stop learning and become static and stagnant and don't care anymore. Like when they leave education they think it no longer matters and was only ever there as a means to an end rather than for the fun and joy it can be.

I get frustrated too. I want to read everything at once. I can get very indecisive too like at the moment there's so many books I want to start reading I haven't a clue which to read next. I have a few on the go already.

I love finding new bookshops and librarys too - there's a lovely second hand bookshop that's just opened near where I live with huge roof-high shelves and little corners where you can go and sit - it also smells lovely in there, that old musty book smell (I mentioned this to someone once and they looked at me as if it were entirely ridiculous. It may well be, but anyway...).

Librarys are, as Stephen himself said on Room 101, divine.



I'm so jealous of you having a place like that. In Huddersfield our bookshops are limited to two Waterstones (one's diddysized, the other used to be Ottakers and is so much better), a WHSmith (pfft) and a relatively new Oxfam Books (yay) - oh my god I can't walk past Oxfam Books without going in and coming out with armfuls of books. :-// See I just wanna read everything! I particularly appreciate the psychology/sociology section as there's fuck all of these type of books anywhere else bar the university. mmm I love the musty smell of old books too.

Oh sweet jesus!!!

Soph gets argyle!Stephen

I went to Primark the other day and bought myself an argyle jumper, which, incidentally, I'm wearing right now. It only cost me £8! I do love Primark!

Why thank you. :-//

If you've ever had access to a subscription to the OED online then you would know how much fun it can be - when I studied English Language at A level my school had a subscription (I don't know why, no one ever used it, and it cost a fair bit) and you could see all the ways a word has changed, and the different places it had been used to mean different things. My english teacher used to start every other english lesson with a talk about the word 'gay' (an occurance which is made ten times funnier since watching ABOFAL).


Haha, that sounds brilliant! I think it's ace when you see something or hear something that takes on an extra meaning due to something else (does that make sense?). Oh, are there any Adam & Joe fans here? On their radio show there is a on-going joke about shouting STEPHEN!! (not related to Mr. Fry) in public places. Whenever I see my friend Stephen I can't help but want to shout at him in that manner.

The 'word gay' and 'language' sketches are fabulous.

The OED online looks really interesting - I'll have to see if my college have it as they have quite a few things on the library network thingy. I didn't know that OED Online did Word Of The Day as well, have only ever seen the dictionary.com one which I like checking, so now I can have a look at that one too. Thanks.

Just thoughy I'd say, I also like the jumper.

Lol I get the dictionary.com word of the day by e-mail. Can't say I've remembered any of them as yet, but here's hoping!
