Wouldn't it be ironic if, on approaching Fry with the award, and explaining how he came to win it, he threw a strop, and refused to have anything to do with you, and in fact turned out to be a complete Arsehole.

I was going to make some lewd comment about gay mountain sex and Sherpa 'Tensing', but I can't be bothered.

In which case I would win, or in some other set of circumstances I have plenty of time to think of. Anyway I'm still shocked that Sherpa Tensing's first name isn't Sherpa. The sly, double-dealing lowlife Sherpa bastard.

But you can't win, because you bought the trophy and that would lay you open to accusations of being a c#nt. So I think that makes it mine. Stephen Fry is such an arsehole, don't you find?

[whizzerandchips]

You realise that if he's as lovely as he's supposed to be it's just going to make you want to punch him in the face.

I wonder if Shilpa Shettie has ever thought of becoming a sherpa?

Didn't Fry meet one of the AIDS-denier blokes who was up for Arsehole of the Year?

I had to read that several times before working out that it has nothing to do with tights. I think I need coffee.

Well the words "denier" and "arsehole" can be very confusing. Instantly you're transported back to M&S: "14 denier, suitable for all types of arsehole". Oh they say that on the packaging but it never works out like that does it. I mean the denier was fine, but the other aspect was all wrong, I won't go into details.

Including Mugabe?
