For those on my LJ list who like/love Stephen Fry, he recently spoke at length about America, his thoughts on it, Britain vs America, and all that.

Be warned, it's very very long. But as charming and clever as ever.

But don't call him quintessentially English. He's Hungarian for a start.

While browsing through the various status updates on Facebook last night, I noticed that Jonathan Stephen Ross had started updating his Facebook status update, to the effect that he was going to spend a night in watching Sex And The City on DVD, and what "awesomeness" would ensue. Which, when you have newspaper headlines every day calling for your head on a plate, is probably just as well.

Cue at least 20 comments around the status update, basically all agreeing that this Jonathan Stephen Ross fellow was nothing more than a fake, because they'd all just read his new autobiography, and he'd never use words like awesomeness.

Thus forcing Jonathan to post a mobile pic on his Facebook proving that he was settling down to watch the shenaigans of four over-privileged but feisty and sexy girls in New York. (My favourite one is Miranda, for obvious reasons).

Meanwhile, over on Twitter, James Cridland has an interesting post about how one recommendation from Stephen Fry creates a wave of people all stampeding to buy a piece of iPhone software.

Ahhh the power of celebrity. Now if only I could find that audio clip from Stephen Fry lauding me as the future of broadcasting. (It was recorded some 13 years ago, to be fair)
