Oh PLEASE bags can I come too! He's adorable. I love him the most. I have wanted to meet him for a long long time (since I read his autobiography really). A friend has blagged me an invitation to a Terrence Higgins Trust dinner in the summer. Fabulous. Normally I avoid famous people but there's something vry special about Stephen Fry. What's not to like?

Personally, I'm not interested in anything of the sort, being straight, but if that ugly troll is feeling frustrated, am sure this may be of help, and they can wash their filthy hands off in the river under the bridge:




Oh and Fry's audio books of his own work are great for commuting.

OK Ted Max you've got me on the Prince Charles thing. I would cross several roads to avoid royalty. I can't deny it. I have no TV though so have no idea what QI is. I'm still giving Stephen 100 points for loveliness.

Oh crap, that just leaves me then. Shamed of Peckham.


Back on topic, I'm feeling all scared and out on a limb on my own here but I like Prince Charles (sincere and principled, if sometimes heading in weird directions) AND I think Phil Jupitus is funny on Buzzcocks. Am I to be cast into the outer darkness where there is to be whaling and gnashing of knees?

Nah, Moos, I was with you on that one. Lately I seem to have fallen victim to gag haggery of the worst kind, and harboured a lusty fondness for the Jupitus. However, I saw him on something else and he was a massive cockadoodledoo, so I have grown out of it and seen the error of my ways.


Stephen Fry, on the other hand, is the master. I view his fondness for royalty as the flaw that only serves to make him more beautiful.

Faith, cannon to left of me, cannon to right of me - volleyed and thundered -


But I will stay the course.


Ted, you are quite right, that was an ugly business, but that's what happens when you forbid a young man from marrying the woman he wants to marry and make him Do His Duty To The Succession. Seems to me there were an awful lot of wrongs in the royal marriage, and few rights. I must admit I was thinking of the - er - less personal professional side: the farming, the Prince's Trust.


Tony, yes Simon thingy is very funny too, but not hard to distinguish from Phil Jupitus.


And Rosie - well, I can quite imagine him behaving like a cockadoodledoo but I reckon that's true of most funny people, they seem to be a tortured breed. Look at poor Peter Sellers (although Phil is unwarrantedly complimented by being in the same sentence as him). Your point on upsucking absolutely stands - sucking up to anyone more famous than you are is horrid. Perhaps Stephen just likes Charles? Hmmmmmm...

I think PJ has caught Paul Merton Syndrome, only funny on one show or situation, in this case QI and NMTB.

Paul Merton incurred my wrath for his series of remakes of Galton & Simpson comedies some time ago. Lamentable.

And it was me that coined the phrase 'karaoke comedy' as a result, ask my former colleague Mark.

A small thing but mine own.

I'm sure I'm missing something KKel, but what is the relevance of the yukky man from the EU?


Moos, I would be happy to admit that, given the gallery of ghouls that raised the poor lad, Charles is not the horror he could have become. And he has chosen some admirable causes to patronise, although I'm not sure that architecture and planning owe him much, and he seems a poor and prissy employer, and his sons remarkably uncurious about the world that forms their oyster. Anyway, apart from that, the marriage stuff, his social conservatism, and the inflated view of his own intellect, he's OK, I reckon.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
