When I read about the Belgium thing, I then thought about you and what make you you, and in hindsight, its weird noone realised it before that. You are a talkative fella!!! and quite the genius. It made my really happy that you can be so open and honest about it. I have it, but only a little. Watching your videos about it gave me comfort. Keep doing you thing :) I love u Stephen Fry!

Its given me the hope that one day, when i have come to terms with it, i will be able to reach for my dreams and overcome the stigma. In addition i have been endlessly watching QI and its been fantastic in making me smile and laugh when things seem so dark and desolate. Keep up the good work. You're a legend and a lot of people can learn a lot from you BP Disorderee (Becs) Stephen,

Do you have any idea just how cool you are? You are an intellectual inspiration, and a Celebrity of real celebrity. I can honestly say that the world is a better place for you being in it. Anyway, enough of the soppiness. Good man, keep it up. You are, quite simply, ‘The Man’, Stephen. Do you have any idea just how cool you are?

I still have the letter and pic you sent to me a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Mine was the stationary with the Suzi's zoo cat and sticker. Thanks for personalizing the pic and letter by the way. You are a very nice man. I'm writing my own novel now. And I've written some poetry. Got a start on your book about that and trying to get my tiny mind around it. I hear what you are saying. But sometimes you (people) just have to write....and whatever form that comes out in is just what it is....... Not saying anything everybody writes is worthy of publishing but it IS a form of self expression. And I just gotta be me. But I'll keep reading on.

I work in emergency healthcare and also do development work in Sub-Saharan Africa. As you might imagine, this can be very difficult work, and at times I become extremely depressed at the way humans treat each other. However, I've found that QI is a wonderful form of escapism, and can almost always cheer me up. It portrays the world I would like to imagine we live in, where people are educated, erudite, and good-natured. I would like to support your work in making QI, but I live in the US where you can't purchase it on DVD or see it on TV. Because of this, I downloaded all 6 seasons off the internet, and I can't really say I regret it. However, I would like to express my gratitude financially in some way; to this end, I would like to make a $200 donation to a non-profit or charitable organization of your choosing, perhaps one with a focus on bipolar disorder. I'm sorry that it can't be a larger amount, but I might be able to give more in the future. Please let me express again my gratitude for the work you do. Thank you for your time, Laura Dear Mr. Fry, Mr. Sampson, and also Mr. Davies,

I wish i had your agent too. Who ever they are, they are certainly keeping you busy with TV appearances, hosting quiz shows, comedy series, voiceovers, travel series etc. I am an actor but have not had as much as an audition in 3 years. Any advice will be really helpful. Best Regards Hutch Hi Stephen,

I suspect you may remember it. Now, I cannot claim that you were my teacher - I was 7, so my memory is a tad hazy. However, in the school photo that you use in "Moab is my Washpot", I'm sitting on your right foot. I'm posting this for a few reasons. The first is that I absolutely love that you are my only claim to fame - I did not realise you were at Cundall until I found an old school photo about 10 years ago. The second is that I have a very strong memory of a teacher who was very strict towards those he thought were misbehaving and made us stand in a corner on one leg, chalk dust on our noses and with the board rubber balanced on our heads. I remember the teacher who did this as being fairly young and I've wondered if it was you. However, I suspect it was Mr Vernon - he was always a bit mean, and I always preferred Mr Robinson and Mrs Helpes anyway. But the main reason I'm posting this is that I recently revisited Cundall and they're missing a few school photos. I would offer my 1979 school pic, but my mother kept it in the back of a drawer and there's a very attractive brown stain from the varnish in the drawer - from the left of the picture to the right. So, is there any chance at all you could provide a photo for 1979? I do know the school would be terribly grateful - and this is above and beyond the favours you've already provided. Best school video ever! Even if you you can't help with this, I'm still curious to know if it was you or Mr Vernon. With best wishes and a certain curiosity, Sarah Alton Hello Sir –
