Lucybird Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I saw in the paper today that Stephen Fry and four others were stuck in a lift for 30minutes on Tuesday night. Apparently he kept them amused with a "succession of quips" and used his iphone to post on his "Twitter network site." I knew he'd be a good lift buddy! Quote
pipread Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I knew he'd be a good lift buddy! Yes, you picked wisely - I`d be to shocked to appreciate though! Quote
Janet Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Stephen Fry was who I picked too - he's wonderful! Quote
pipread Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Stephen Fry was who I picked too - he's wonderful! He is wonderful I agree, I think I like him even more since reading his autobiography. Quote
Raven Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I think he's a talentless bumbling fool. Nah, not really, he's a national treasure! Quote
poppy Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Bill Bryson. That guy is a complete crack-up. Ooh, yes. He would certainly be entertaining. Although his funny stories bring us back to the problem of needing the loo Lol Kylie. I didn't think of that It might be safer to choose someone boring Quote
Janet Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 LOL Raven - I was just about to get defensive about Stephen Fry until I scrolled down! Yup, Bill Bryson's another one I wouldn't mind sharing my lift with. Quote
Charm Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Oh I think Stephen Fry would be perfect to be stuck in a lift with. Funny and interesting! Quote
Ophelia Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Preferably someone who was a lift engineer before he decided to take up the pen Quote
Princess Serenity Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I would love just sit down for a bit with Beatrice Small ... I find her written works of romance and erotica amazing and her attention to details for her historical references are impeccable! Quote
leah86 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Ooh, if we could choose a comedian, I'd go for Lee Evans. He's hilarious Oh really,i hate him,he really annoys me and I don't tink he's that funny. Everyone I know loves him though! There's an Irish comedian called Neil Delamare.he's soo funny,wouldn't mind being stuck in a lift with him:) Quote
leah86 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 For an author I think I'd like to be stuck in a lift with Torey Hayden. Might get a bit depressing though..Mmm.. Quote
pipread Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Oh really,i hate him,he really annoys me and I don't tink he's that funny. Everyone I know loves him though! I don`t find Lee Evans funny either! I like Peter Kay, I`m sure he`d be fun to be stuck with. Quote
leah86 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I don`t find Lee Evans funny either! I like Peter Kay, I`m sure he`d be fun to be stuck with. :DI like Peter Kay,never thought of him. Good one:D Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Oh really,i hate him,he really annoys me and I don't tink he's that funny. I don`t find Lee Evans funny either! Really? I love him. I went to see him perform in Nottingham and I thought he was really good. Very funny. I've not actually seen/heard much of Peter Kay though so I can't comment there! Quote
lexiepiper Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Me too, I adore Lee Evans, he's my favourite comedian, can't stand Peter Kay though Especially his Geraldine thing, drives me mad Quote
Ben Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Lee Evans sucks. I don't see why he has to swear every other sentence, I just don't think it does his comedy any favours. Quote
Owen Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Clive Barker, the man has some cool ideas. Quote
Wilde Lily Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Oscar Wilde, for sure. I'd just let him talk! He was so clever and witty and was a gifted conversationalist. Quote
Christie Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I would love to be stuck with Stephen King! I love sooooo many of his books and I would definatly ask for some writing tips! Quote
Mac Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Erm...there are loads of authors I'd like to be stuck in a lift with, so choosing just one is very difficult. Murakami would be cool, obviously, or Harlan Coben because I bet he's got a great sense of humour and I think we'd get on. Has Cate Blanchet wrote anything? Or Keira Knightly? No? Damn... Quote
Talisman Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 JK Rowling - if you had seen her speech at Harvard last year, you would know why ! Quote
Nicola Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Oh I think Stephen Fry would be perfect to be stuck in a lift with. Funny and interesting! I agree! He's so interesting. I think I'd also like to be stuck in a lift with Chuck Palahniuk....I'd like to find out if he's as crazy as his books. (If he is then maybe it's bad to be stuck in a life with him..... Quote
