Stephen
It wasn't enough that CB Fry headed the class list at Oxford. He had the world long-jump record, he played in an FA Cup Final, captained England and headed England batting averages for four years in succession, spoke five languages, and what was this extraordinary position that he was offered?

Clive
Well, he was obviously a member of the Fry family!

Stephen
Well, that is extraordinary enough, I grant you.

Clive
Maybe he was offered to be quizmaster on a panel game to demonstrate his . . .

Alan
Who was he offered the position by? A governmental thing?

Stephen
By the most governmental thing that existed after the First World War.

Clive
League of Nations?

Stephen
The League of Nations

Clive
So he was Head of the League of Nations?

Stephen
No, he was . . . no, no.

Clive
He was referee. He refereed the play-offs for the League of Nations.

Stephen
It wasn't sport . . .

Clive
President of the League of Nations.

Stephen
No. More important.

Alan
Emperor . . .

Sean
King.

Stephen
King!

Clive [seizing this]
King! King of the League of Nations!

Stephen
No, not of the League of Nations. One of the nations within the League of Nations.

Clive
Oh, he was King of . . . Albania.

Stephen
He was offered the throne . . . He was offered the throne of Albania.

Clive
Yes.

Stephen
There you are. Finally, we got there.

The reason he was offered it was his great friend was Prince Ranjitsinhji, and together, he and Fry dominated the cricketing world. It was known as the Golden Age of Cricket, still is. Erm, and Prince Ranjitsinhji was an important officer in the League of Nations when it was founded, er, and he brought, er, Fry along as a speech writer to the League of Nations. And they met the Albanian delegation, which was rather unhappy, because the, er, the King of Albania had been deposed and run away, and, er, so they offered Fry the throne, and he accepted.

But his friend Hilaire Belloc, the . . . the poet, said, "No." He said, "Don't accept it." He said, "All you need is a cellar full of wine and the society of those who love you. Turn it down." So he did.

And I mean that sincerely.

Well, it is the "Just...................whatever" thread. Razz

Though I guess it seems a bit random out of context. Laughing

It's a snippet from QI talking about a, more or less, famous relative of Stephen Fry.

But I like the sentiment of what's really important in life, in the face of being offered a kingdom.

retractable claws would be more useful.

I wouldn't mind retractable claws on a woman. Kind of hot, actually.

When Elthir does his remake of LadyHawk, I think that's one of the changes that has to be implemented. I mean, her in a cloak was fine as far as that goes, but now we've got an obvious improvement.

Harrison Ford did an AMA on reddit today. This was the top comment. Laughing

Yeah I saw that, felt kinda sorry for him, he gave some pretty fascinating answers but all he gets is star wars.

If I was on Reddit I'd ask 'Indiana Jones 5...seriously???'

by bungobaggins Mon Apr 14, 2014 7:05 pm

Well, that's what reddit does. It pushes stupid shit to the top and the insightful comments are either at the middle or the bottom. It's all about the puns. Rolling Eyes

This rather cool- you need to listen using headphones- 3D sound-

by halfwise Tue Apr 15, 2014 2:00 pm

I was expecting to be in the middle of a barbershop quartet. Ah well.

A more fun demonstration of the stereo technique was something my uncle used to pop on people 20 years ago when stereo headphones were first attached to portable devices. You have to be outside - and you say to your victim: "hey! you have to hear this!" They put on the headphones, and hear a plane flying low across the sky. They fun part is they instinctively look up for it. You can do it several times to the same person and get the same reaction. Then it turns into a mini party as you stalk new victims as the number of people in on the joke grows.
