STEPHEN FRY AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

On Wednesday I went to witness maybe the most interesting demonstration of use of the English Language ever. Stephen Fry is a genius. There is nothing more to say. For an hour and half he just talked. About what? Nothing special or particular. We heard about how he was arrested as a teenager, and did time for credit card fraud, how he begged his way onto his A level courses and how Emma Thompson introduced him to Hugh Laurie. (Oh we love Hugh - slightly obsessed with House at the moment - We're working our way through the 5 series box set - still got to get my hands on no.6).He talked about his childhood, and even biscuits and his sugar addiction - which lead to his other addictions - including Cocaine. Oh and all the places he's "chopped up" including Buckingham Place and 10 Downing Street. You've got to hand it to him. But it wasn't so much what he was saying, it was the way he was saying it to these few thousand of his friends. A truely captivating character that is one in a Billion.

Thank god Gaz had a spare ticket.
