1. Quite bizarre for me to hear my own name repeated like that...
what with it being uncommon here in the states, I don't hear it much.
However those of us with the misfortuned of sharing that name DO have to turn around every time someone says, "Hey you", just to make sure they're not calling our name. :)

4. A Bit of Fry & Laurie was great.
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie had the best comedy show of the early 90s in the UK. Here's the blurb about the show from the BBC website:

A Bit Of Fry And Laurie was a witty and sophisticated entertainment of consistent high quality, with an old-fashioned revue-type atmosphere and oddly 'British' sketches that rejoiced in literary turns of phrase and elaborate wordplay. The delicate innuendos, coupled with Fry's ability to suggest hidden meanings in everyday phrases, gave the impression that bubbling below the innocent surface were lewd undercurrents threatening to burst through, although they never did. To add to this mix, Hugh Laurie demonstrated his keyboard talents with parodies of musical genres.

Hugh is today the much-loved Dr. House. Stephen is the host of the UK show QI, the consummate Oscar Wilde and just about the greatest man alive.
