He can also be followed on Twitter I believe .

Too intellectual for me. I lasted 5 minutes.
The man's a bore.
He really is a fair distance away from being an intellectual.
You gave him five minutes too much, and cj would be better off reflecting on the output of Australian intellectuals.

Australian intellectuals, an interesting concept.
Have you tried googling that?
Maybe read this;

I assume you're trying to make a point of some sort with the photo of Fry and his husband.Quote:

Then again, in my view you'r perfectly entitled to hate LGBT people if you so wish but;
It doesn't seem to have much to do with the Pinker video does it.
As far as Fry being a fair way from being an intellectual one wonders how you'd describe him.
You seem to have a bit of a problem with Fry Cy. Why's that?
I think we should stick with examples of Stephen Fry being spontaneously witty.
It must have happened somewhere, sometime surely?

If you don't like his sexual, gender affiliations fair enough.
But, denying his achievements both artistically and intellectually seems a tad shrewish, to say the least.
Still, each to there own.
Look at how slavishly he gets set up here...and how little he actually he says.
It's embarrassing.

The umpire has to reverse his decision.
I'm sure that's really meaningful and I'm glad you had the perspicacity to post it.Quote:

Thank you.
So...Stephen Fry vids added without comment that you think make you look smart.
Take it away...
How or why would Stephen Fry vids make me look smart you daft bugger.Quote:

As the wise Fry says. The reason we should not support political correctness is that 'It doesn't work!'
Witness the most hilariously incorrect president in American history :)
A superb speech at the Shannon Luminary Lecture series.
