...last night, was it supposed to be funny?
Every time someone on the programme said something, everyone else started guffawing with laughter. But....there weren't any jokes. confised

Of course not...where is his witty repartee?

The Ian Hislop syndrome I call it. Hislop never says anything funny either, but he says things with a certain look on his face which means, laugh or you're a pleb

Cornelius, Katcha thinks you're thick.
Want me to send the boys round?

Well, I guess there's more room to differ in humour than in most things. Stephen Fry comes over to me as more twee than funny, and Ian Hislop always seems to me to say the obvious thing. I do think 'Have I Got News for You' is good value usually, but for me that's to do with Paul Merton, who I think is a genuinely funny man, and the guests.

It was all very strange. In London with me family, about 16. In a pub, needed a slash, and went out of the bar into the corridor.

Stephen Fry was stood next to the tab machine, next to two old boots, possibly trannies. I thought 'I can't ask Stephen Fry where the bogs are, he's famous/a bum shunter'.

So I asked one of the old dogs, to which Mr Fry replied very politely 'they're down there on the left' or whatever.

I pissed as quickly as I could, thinking he might barge in at any time and make forced brown love to me. Thankfully he didn't, although me dad took the piss relentlessly for several weeks afterwards.
