I'm getting them all over the place. I'm reading his autobiography and I keep coming across stories I recognise from QI, or his podcasts, or interviews. Almost makes me think I'm too ardent of a follower of his...no, that's not possible!

I love Stephen Fry, he's an excellent actor and he seems like such a wonderful and intelligent person.

I love how Parkinson says "autobography"

@u2fan15 can you post the Lee Evans interview

[zoyataylor]

brain of size of Kent? :D

[MafiaCupcake]

@WalterLiddy Me too! :D I never get tired of that voice, though!

[WalterLiddy]

Clearly I'm watching too much of Fry's stuff. I've heard most of these anecdotes/jokes before.

@StephenFryphile I should've said collection rather than selection, Khayyam was a famous Perisan poet, known for quatrains. I've got a copy, I can highly recommend it. (It's not limp-bound though, unfortunately.)

[StephenFryphile]

@Flowerblood Thank you so much :) <3

"He has a brain the size of Kent and should be displayed in the Millenium Dome as a national treasure." That's a pretty accurate assessment.

[PianoWizzy]

"Don't be clever, Fry"

"Alright, Saab, how stupid would you like me to be?"

He's EXUDES brilliance.

@StephenFryphile Hello! The book is a selection of poems called the 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'. Limp-bound editions of books are ones printed with a soft cover, I think the better ones are normally leather, though I'm not sure about the last bit.
