Although this is an old article I found it most interesting to find out that one of my favourite actors, show host and writers and one of the most eloquent english speakers, Mr. Stephen Fry is a pipe smoker.

Every man has his secret sorrows
which the world knows not;
and often times we call a man cold
when he is only sad.

Would you ever consider laying floorboards while smoking a pipe?

I would rather smoke a pipe while watching someone else lay them.

Preach it bro!

In the next few months, I am hiring someone to do some remodeling, hiring gardeners to do the yard...at 55 years old, a guy only has so much time left to smoke, and it shouldn't be interrupted with such unpleasantries.

I wonder if he gave up the pipe...I see no mention of it in print or pictures of him on his website.

Someone might be offended or report him to the NHS.
