Now theres a title that got you looking ?!?!

I read with interest that the Savoy hotel in London is closing for a year due to upgrading, and all fitting and fixtures are being auctioned by Bohams

Relevance ??????

Now then if my memory serves me correctly, (and as TSLOTMD is on a dvd somewhere, and I cant put my hand on it ....)
I wonder if Stephen is going to put a bid in on that wonderful picture, hung in the bar of the Savoy, of men in white coats serving cocktails.
From memory this is the bar where, on his first manic episode he purchased cocktails with a stolen credit card, and returned to film a scene for TSLOTMD and comment on the revelance of the picture of men in white coats, cocktails, and of course mental illness

Ummmm am I making sense here ?

If I'm right, will somebody please let Stephen know, as I think he's still in america filming, and would hate to think that a picture that has so much relevance in his life, slip into obscuratey into the hands of a private collector

If I'm wrong, tell me so, and blame it on the Saturday night wine !

I bet that Mr Fry went to see Led Zeppelin last Monday, i.e. is back in the UK

I hope he can get his hands on that picture (provided he wants to), it is beautiful...

(phew thought I'd lost the dvd)

Its the first TSLOTMD, and its 21 minutes in from the start, if you have the version that BBC4 screened with the extra pre amble by Stephen at the start

Its a lovely painting !!!!!, wonder if its for sale and how much its going to cost Stephen ?

Unless we have a whip-round. X-D

Natalie: "Are you finished with your coffee cup Stephen?"
Stephen: "Yes Natalie darling I am, although it's not a coffee cup, it's a teacup..."

*5 minute debate later*

Result: The contents of the cup do not determine the name of the cup. The cup is a cup/mug whether it contains tea/coffee/ribena/hot chocolate or any other beverage.
