Women have rocks? Bollocks! Fry's been sniffing the semolina again, I dare say. Next he'll be laying down the gospel about working in B&Q, or some other actual job. |

all living creatures ave got a sex drive, give or take a few anomolies here n there, ( in fact i believe Fry used to be one of these anomolies for qwuite some time) The level of sex drive will vary from person to person, creature to creature, and indeed vary within the duration of the lifespan of the individual in qwuestion, peaks n troughs etceterrrra etceteraaaa.. it is possible , if one were to generalise to say that a male sex drive might be higher than a female one, probly born out of a genetic reqwuirement to procreate, however its there inside all of us and is plain and obvious to see in the high street of any towncentre on any given weekend, the randy little sods.

Is the sky blue? I well remember the tracer who used to walk around the drawing office visiting in turn the draughtsmen she fancied, wearing stockings, a short skirt, and no knickers. Handy. I'd better stop now and have a lie down. Cameras weren't allowed in the building, unfortunately. |

Fry seemsto want to argue that if women really liked sex they'd be at it all the time with anyone and everyone, just like...errr...gay men.
Well, some gay men, anyway.
Reminds me of all those men back in the 60s who if you turned them down concluded you must be frigid - they couldn't entertain the idea that you might just not fancy them.

It's just such nonsense, such a denial of the self-evidently obvious, such a weak "argument", such unwisdom, such piffle, that I can't help thinking he's having us all on. For what purpose, we mere mortals are clearly not capable of imagining. What the ..er.. feck was the Guardian thinking of?! He has said elsewhere that Douglas Adams (hetero, HHGttG, etc.) was a good friend of his. On this evidence, I simply can't believe it. |

I remember them well. |

"So some fucking paper misquotes a humorous interview I gave, which itself misquoted me and now I'm the Antichrist. I give up." Oh for heaven's sake! What does anybody expect when they give interviews to reporters? He was giving an interview probably because he's trying to flog a pre-Christmas book, and boo-hoo, quelle surprise, they've made the interview a tad more sharp and, in the process, have mis-quoted him. He's supposedly an intelligent man, what on earth did he expect? It's the same thing when chav families give interviews to the Daily Mail, then wonder why they're being called lazy leeches on the letters page a few days later! |

He probably expected better from The Observer - although they maintain they it's how it was. He's flounced from Twitter again too apparently. Anyone seen the Independent's "New Baby"?  It's plainly the paper the Independent would like to be if it wasn't such a mess at the moment. |

Can't think why. They are all newspapers trying to sell news, and the reporters working for them will put what ever slant on their reporting that they think necessary to sell those newspapers.

The interview was with Attitude, and The Observer picked it up. It was apparently quite a long interview, but that's the only bit the Observer was interested in. (I went off the Observer when they had a thing about holidays in England, in which the journalist said that the co-op in some N Yorks town even had Champagne! At this time, the Co-op on Lambeth Walk (maybe less than a mile from the Observer's offices) also had Champagne, though no one from the Observer would ever think of going to somewhere like that. Gits. God, that must have been 20 years ago, and it still rankles.) |

Aubrey, it doesn't maytter how long the interview was - those comments asked to be noted. There was no 'slant' on what he said - it's quoted verbatim. It was very silly of him to say it.

i tend to agree with Jean on this.. whilst it is very easy for journalists to take words out of context ( especially words of a comedian or words said in jest) and make them appear something more than what was intended or appear in a different light, upon reading the qwuotes attributed to Fry i fail to see anything that could be conceived as humour or jocular in what he wrote. He claimed he was misqwuoted, but other journalists have checked the original interview tapes and apparantly he was not misqwuoted at all. i havent read the original interview, so maybe there is more to it, but to me it looks as if Fry realises he's said something a bit silly and is trying to make excuses and blame the journos for it.

Because they're so London-centric that that it does not occur to them that there are people in other parts of the country who just might want to go to Lambeth on holiday! |
