Agreed, and it's rare to hear an urban Aussie accent from a foreigner.

What's funny is this is years old, and now Americans are infatuated with the UK.

@MadameDeJaVu Well, Stephen Fry and cocaine used to go hand in hand, he's quite open about abusing it in his past.

If we'd called her Thatchi she would have rolled over and you could've tickled her - LOL

Well he definitely seems high here. Whether coke high or just manic-high, we cannot know. But definitely on fire, Stephen. :)

@Valygarx Look at his pupils: he's not on coke.

I'd say he's pretty embarrased about this twaddle these days. Oh well, I guess we were all once young and absolutely ridiculous... "sigh".

[MadameDeJaVu]

What do you base this information on that he was taking cocaine? Try learning something about his condition bi-polar it will explain a lot. He is also right about the English obsession with America, he does not hate them, he is merely saying the idiots who talk in Americanisms who think it is cool, examples of this are the increasing number of people who say 'have a nice day' and we no longer have Father Christmas it's Santa, so he is quite right in his analysis.

[Valygarx]

I love Stephen, but he's soooo coked up here.
