This brings up one of the things that have been maddening me for 
years now (particularly since I don't seem to be destined to win the 
pool) but what will "Wesasly is our King" sound like when sung by 
Fry? I'm perplexed that Amazon.com has audio bits by Dale -- okay, 
nice job... makes the Yanks feel English -- buy I've never 
understood wny Amazon.co.uk doesn't equally present Fry sound bytes. 
He /should/ be okay. Why not give the Westerners something to save 
their bucks for? 

As a guy who spent money tres exorbitante on UK material, a mere 
hint at Fry's ability might push me over the edge to pay for the UK 
audio book.
