Stephen Perry Fry (14 July 1924 – 29 June 2002) was a South African rugby union player, most often playing as a flanker. Fry played rugby for his home town of Somerset West and provincial rugby for Western Province. He won 13 caps for the South African national team (the Springboks), and captained the country in four matches against the British Lions.
Personal history
Fry was born in Somerset West in South Africa in 1924. He was one of five brothers; one of whom was killed flying in the Battle of Britain. The others were, Dennis who also toured with the Springboks in 1951, Alec his twin, and Robert. Fry served South Africa during the Second World War, and on his return studied at the University of Cape Town, gaining a BSc in Engineering and qualified as an engineer. A keen sportsman, he is described as a first-class athlete and was a half-blue at the University.
Fry married Bettie, and they had two children, Juliet and Mark. He harboured ambitions to be a jazz pianist.
Seven years later in 1929 Fry made his return to Hampshire, marking it with a match against Derbyshire. Fry would go onto play 26 matches spread over three County Championship matches up to 1931.
Fry could not emulate the attacking philosophies of his father in first-class cricket. In his career Fry scored 508 runs at an average of 10.58, with a single half century which yielded his highest first-class score of 78. As a wicketkeeper Fry took sixteen catches and made one stumping. His retirement from first-class cricket followed his final match of the 1931 season which came against Warwickshire. During that season Fry stood in for Lord Tennyson to captain Hampshire in a few County Championship matches, one of five captains that season.
It aired on the ITV network from 1990 to 1993, with the last series nominated for a British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series. It starred Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, a young gentleman with a "distinctive blend of airy nonchalance and refined gormlessness", and Stephen Fry as Jeeves, his improbably well-informed and talented valet. Wooster is a bachelor, a minor aristocrat and member of the idle rich. He and his friends, who are mainly members of The Drones Club, are extricated from all manner of societal misadventures by the indispensable valet ("gentleman's personal gentleman") Jeeves. The stories are set in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1920s and 1930s.
Reginald Jeeves is a fictional character in a series of humorous short stories and novels by P. G. Wodehouse (1881–1975), being the highly-competent valet of a wealthy and idle young Londoner named Bertie Wooster. Created in 1915, Jeeves continued to appear in Wodehouse's work until his last completed novel Aunts Aren't Gentlemen in 1974, a span of 59 years. The name "Jeeves" comes from Percy Jeeves (1888–1916), a Warwickshire cricketer killed in the First World War.
Both the name "Jeeves" and the character of Jeeves have come to be thought of as the quintessential name and nature of a valet or butler, inspiring many similar characters (as well as the name of the Internet search engine Ask Jeeves). A "Jeeves" is now a generic term in references such as the Oxford English Dictionary.
In a conversation with a policeman in "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina", Jeeves refers to himself as both a "gentleman's personal gentleman" and a "personal gentleman's gentleman." This means that Jeeves is a valet, not a butler—that is, he serves a man and not a household. However, Bertie Wooster has lent out Jeeves as a butler on several occasions, and notes: "If the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them."
Jeeves Information Systems, commonly known as Jeeves, is a fast-growing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and software developer in Sweden. Jeeves was founded at the beginning of the 1990s by a number of Swedish entrepreneurs. The head office is located in Stockholm. Jeeves was publicly traded on the Stockholm Stock Exchange from 1999 until 2012 when U.S.-based Battery Ventures acquired the company for $32.46 million.
The company is working with a network of dedicated partners (resellers) in Sweden, the rest of Europe, North America, Australia and Asia.
The ERP system is designed for growth companies within the retail, manufacturing and service sectors and has more than 30.000 users in over 40 countries. Jeeves offers two ERP systems; Jeeves Selected, for small sized companies and Jeeves Universal, for Mid-Sized companies. However the systems allow companies to seamlessly grow from Jeeves Selected to Jeeves Universal as and when the business requires it. It was ranked Sweden’s most popular ERP System by the analysis and consulting firm Exido’s IT barometer in 2009.
