the Common Place

Thus queried my life partner, the Bicycle Repairman, this morning as I was unglueing my eyelids over my first cuppa.

I guessed Douglas Adams*, wrongly. Actually it was Stephen Fry (Jeeves & Wooster, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, The Ode Less Travelled, &c &c.)

Mr. Stephen Fry continues to obsess about technology and all things non-Microsoft, as well as write brilliantly and expansively about language, literature, the universe, and everything at The New Adventures of Mr. Stephen Fry.

And later today, I’m going to see his old buddy, Emma Thompson, in “Last Chance Harvey.” You see, everything really is connected.

Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Paul Shearer ,Tony Slattery and Emma Thompson
