Stephen Fry Leaves Twitter for Safety

Openly gay actor, presenter, author and overall lovely person Stephen Fry has announced he will be taking a break from Twitter until December.

Fry mysteriously tweeted that he was advised not to use the app because he is in a place where it is safest not to do so:

 

Closing down on Twitter while filming. In a place whence I’ve been advised it is safest not to tweet. See you December. Here goes…

Where is this dangerous location? What is Fry filming? Howq we will fill the void of Stephen Fry tweets until December?

We can only imagine. Until then, here’s a retrospective of some favourite Fry tweets to help us remember the good times.

Consider this gorgeously verbose musing on a certain herb:

 

While I’m in a disobliging mood: I cannot find pejorative words strong enough with which to express my detastation of coriander/cilantro

This brutally honest comment about fashion:

 

#ThingsIJustDontGet No.47. Luis Vuitton. I mean, what? Whether real or knockoff just looks tacky. Simply don’t understand. Must be me.

This festive message to a fellow British comedy legend:

 

Happy birthday @JohnCleese John Otto Cleese. Hero. Monument. Inspiration. Lightning-rod. Washing-up glove. Badminton racket. Mensch. Teabag.

This tweet showing that despite his perilously high IQ, he’s just like the rest of us.

 

Right. So I typed “trails” instead of “trials”. I admit it. I’m fallible. Human. Frail. Feeble. Pathetic. I hang my head in shame. *sob*

Whatever his current project is, let’s hope that Stephen Fry will safely return to the world of 140 character wisdom soon.
