@@duncanthompson957 Good question Duncan, I am not really sure, I guess I was just lost in a moment now passed, a moment where I doubtless caught my own reflection in the glass of the French doors in the kitchen, (every door here is a French door on account of them being in France, as unfortunately am I). But in that moment I could see that my gazing and chuckling at a now battle-scarred Terry Christian, I myself looked like the proverbial dog trying to understand opera.

That Laura Cannell record is powerfully beautiful. Thank you for everything Stewart, please tell Baconface he rocks my world if you ever do see him again!
I was in Leicester Square about 20 years ago and turned to ask someone the time. It was Stuart Lee. He gave me the time and I said "Thanks". I'm still waiting for him to build that into one of his comedy routines. Maybe he already has, and I just haven't seen it. If anyone has seen him talking about being asked the time in Leicester Square please let me know.
@@zorbathegeek I can't remember the exact time but it was early evening, around 7pm. I'm not sure if Stuart Lee gets asked the time a lot, but if he includes a story about being asked the time in one of his comedy sets, it's almost certainly about me if he mentions the time being around 7pm.
Comedians must hang about Leicester Sq - about 15 years ago I accidentally bumped into to (and he into me) David Baddiel, we both said a quick ‘oops sorry’ and carried on our merry way, I didn’t recognise him, it was my Son who was with me that told me seconds later. I had a little chat with Stewart (I think the Stuart spelling is what Scotch people use) when he signed a book for me. He mentioned something about Leicester sq and somebody asking him the time, all I can remember him saying is that he thought that person had let themself go.
A small fraction of Stewart’s The Fall records. An entire room dedicated to the voice of Mark E Smith, R.I.P. I watched the Fall once, Mark was wearing chinos. Not his finest moment. I digress.
My favourite think about Stewart Lee is that he still owns and uses one of those clicky pens we had at secondary school with the 4 different coloured biros in it but the green one never really worked.
Fk. I'm 52 too. I was at Oxford same time as him. Heard of him even in '87. Never went to see him then. Didn't until an Edinburgh show in the late 90s and that was all about using his dead ex girlfriend memory..... you know the rest... Good to see he made something of himself in the end 😄
As Christopher Guest's character Rahjeemd Vindaloo said, "You don't want wine with a picture of grapes. That's like having a picture of a banana on a banana!
When I met him ten monthe ago I spent 20 minutes just standing there about to say something and then when he was really really bored with me I said hello and then walked away.
I recently walked past Stewart Lee twice in the space of a few days, one time of which he was chatting with Kevin Eldon which was nice to see. Part of me wanted to stop and say to him 'I think you're great' but luckily, I didn't. He'd have hated it. And i'd have looked like a c*nt.

okay, just watched the rest of this... as a philosopher, the essense of comedy is a simple thing... it is 'The healthy rejection of information received'. There are various aspects and genres and styles of comedy - stewarts is a more contrarian kind, but in the end, people go to stand up in the same way as they go to a GP, to feel healthy, the mind needs to reject information as much as it needs the nourishment of knowledge
