Welcome AnCBeck2. 
It is so much fun watching people just starting to discover the talent and intelligence of Mr. Fry (it's only been a little over a year since I was discovering for myself). You must let us know what you think of his various efforts in comedy, drama, and documentaries, as well as his novels.

Welcome ! Bienvenue! Willkommen! Bienvenido! Wouldn´t it be nice if this introductions thread could be renamed or highlighted such that new members knew where to visit first - it would save them the trouble of starting their individual threads - and if some alert (some emoticon) popped up when a new member has posted in this thread (if that´s possible at all |

What Gerti said, great Welcome to all the new folks! I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep. |

Hello. I found the forum through a link to an interview with Stephen Fry for an online tech magazine, I cant seem to remember what it is called at the moment, and clicked on a few links in a row and ended up here. I thought I would join as I have liked Stephen Fry since I was a young boy, Jeeves and Wooster, Fry and Laurie, and now I am an avid fan of QI. About me, hmmn... well... I make music, if you can call it that, under two different names, Imaginary Forces being one of them and Coded Sleep being the other. I am a huge fan of J G Ballard and William Burroughs, I love the films of Jan Svankmajer, The Brothers Quay, Kenneth Anger and Ingmar Bergman (I am moving to Sweden with my girlfriend at some point in the not too distant future as she is from there). I listen to a hell of a lot of music, such as Autechre, Richard Devine, Stockhausen, Sunn O))), Wolf Eyes, etc etc ad infinitum... and I make music almost everyday. The elevation of filth gives birth to the atheology of the biological continuum... |

Hello, Imaginary Forces. Interesting film choices. I once saw a season of Jan Svankmajer. Love that use stop motion. The way you don't need loads of cgi to create unsettling, otherworldly effects. Kenneth Anger? there was a season of his work on C4 many years ago. Oh, for the good old days, when it used to be a truly auteur channel. Death to Hollyoaks. http://quantumofire.blogspot.com/ Breaking contradictions in his mind was, to him, like walking through a winter forest snapping twigs underfoot. |

Hahah. Indeed. Ch4 used to show so many great things, and fund them too. I think I first saw Little Otik on Ch4 and they even funded several Svankmejer and Brothers Quay films. It is little wonder that I rarely watch tv these days, except for the obvious ofcourse. You should get a copy of Kenneth Angers Magick Lantern Cycle, great films and great soundtracks. I highly recommend it. The elevation of filth gives birth to the atheology of the biological continuum... |

Hello, all. I came to sign up to the forum today, thinking myself very silly for having left it such a long time. Imagine my surprise when I found that I already had an account, but one which I had never used and did not remember setting up! Anyway, although I've been here for a little while, I don't recall introducing myself. My name is Michelle. I am a first-year student of English Literature at the University of Exeter, and rather enjoying myself. I work part-time as a cleaner at the most foul holiday resort in the West Country, and am trying to establish myself as a freelance creative writer in various publications. Unfortunately I am very bad at finishing stories. Um...I am a lesbian, an avid reader, and delight in listening to and performing in musicals. (Having said that, I haven't actually performed in almost a year now.) I am writing a very long series of novels, which are probably dreadful, I write a couple of poems every week, and am writing a long and slightly horrible play in blank verse. I also compose music on the ukelele, but none of it is very good and I have never played it to anyone! I am a trivia addict, and tend to get all breathy and excited whenever I recount some useless titbit of knowledge to a friend. I collect teapots, have six pet coathangers, and am beginning to seriously consider a career as a Tolkien scholar. Oh, and my favourite television programme is QI. |

Ah! I have a couple of Oriental teapots! At the moment it is but a baby of a collection, only in the twenties (not including ornament teapots, of which I have a great number) but when I am no longer an impoverished student I'm sure I will gather a few more. I collect quite a lot of other things too, but oddments rather than actual collections - I have a rather impressive array of owl ornaments, for example. My rooms both in my parents' house and at university are like the warehouse for Bits Of Ornamental Crap R Us. |
