I have been sort of half looking forward to viewing his portraits. He has done a hell of a lot of them by now and i believe the last i read about his book, it's all wounded soldiers from his wars(?) So it's like a penance. Meh, he's going to make a killing off his picture book sales. See? I look at both sides, not just awww da ol pwesident we wuv to waugh at. He's a cocksucker but he's an artist and promoting the arts. All art is propaganda.

WAUGH

Here some more info copied from it dupe:

"From YT: A great English icon visited an Aussie one when Stephen Fry came to the Sydney Opera House to discuss travel, language, the three W's (Wilde, Waugh and Wodehouse) and everything in between, in a 90 minute talk-fest. The night involved a cracking 45 minute chat by Fry and then a 45 minute Q&A with First Tuesday Book Club's Jennifer Byrne.

A true polymath and the epitome of a Renaissance Man, Stephen Fry is a natural treasure in his native land of England. A writer, presenter, social commentator, satirist, actor and TV personality, Fry's diverse interests and enthusiasms have seen him become one of a small handful of global cultural figures who have a significant presence in every form of media; radio, TV, film, print and online.

Better known for playing the lead in the film Wilde, Fry was Melchett in the Blackadder television series and is the host of the ABC TV quiz show, QI. He also presented the television series Stephen Fry In America, which saw him travelling across all 50 U.S. States in a London cab.

Apart from his work in television, Fry has contributed columns and articles for newspapers and magazines, and has written four novels and an autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot and appears frequently on BBC Radio.

Fry wields considerable influence through his use of the social networking site Twitter and is frequently asked to promote various charities and causes, often inadvertently causing the host website to crash due to the sheer volume of traffic generated by his large number of followers."

I used to be a massive cricket fan, staying up late nights to watch Steve Waugh captain the team... but now with Ponting as cpt it just makes me angry to watch it so I try and avoid it.

Although starting with 609 runs, and the poms being 3/50 odd last time i saw it... not looking good for your chances of keeping the Ashes.

I much rather watching football games these days, Sydney FC won last night 3-0 and I was partying with the players/coach till about 4am.... now I can't talk and someone is setting off small explosives inside my head.
