Having had a brief encounter (no rude thoughts plz!) with a man from the European Union (who was very pompous and quite yuk) I think I may say that Mr Fry is a kool dude... just 'coz :)-D
See now this gets confusing? You're now pretending? Sheesh make ya mind up man! I respect Mr Fry. I would never claim to be in awe tho no. As I would never claim to be in awe of anyone else (except superman and maybe dangermouse!)
