Shocking news from the world of showbiz - cuddly national treasure Stephen Fry is morphing into his friend and fellow national treasure Dick Madeley. Proof, if any were needed, that all humanity aspires to the condition of Madeley.
Im getting quite bored of this Fry fellow, he seems really quite needy what with all his twittering.
And his willingness to allow himself to appear in the stinking quagmire of self-referential nationalistic auto-fellating whimsy that is 'Kingdom' shows that he has bought into his own concept, and consequently his id has'jumped the shark'
Im not sure if ids can jump sharks, Im getting too postmodern to keep up with myself
Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.

In Fry's case, an id can surely jump a shark. Glad you're enjoying Kingdom!
