Laid back thanks to his druggie habits? Has he actually stopped snorting cocaine, his drug of choice? His choice to be a junky for some years, and I have no respect for such feeble people who then try and make money from selling their autobiographies a few dismal, needy years at a time.

Peggy Webb So you're judging someone purely based on a chemical they put into their body, of their own free will, in private. He's an incredibly intelligent and articulate man who's been through a lot of hardships. Maybe its not good for him, but I see it as pretty pathetic to judge him on something he did in the past that has affected no one but himself.

***** "....and beneath that of course, we find...the floor....does the floor 'work' for you?...Is it a fatal floor?" (I remember that 'fatal floor' gag got an affectionate groan from the audience :) and my personal favourite.... "I'm reminded of one of those occasions where one is asked to sleep with someone one doesn't know particularly well, consequently i was nervous, and the whole thing was a disappointment." That made me laugh so hard because it pretty much describes every one night stand i've ever had :)

If there's one thing that seems to unite most of Britain's film & TV critics, it's a hatred of Stephen Fry. They often accuse him of being "smug", or the "stupid person's idea of an intellectual". Very much the ultimate pot and kettle case.

He wasn't saying that man always ruins nature. He was saying that nature is unconditionally beautiful, and that the only ugly things you will see are man made. He acknowledges that man can create beauty, but at the same time is reposnsible for 100% of the uglification of nature.
