Scots retired marketeer, academic, cyberbetician, Humean sceptic, sociopath, octogenarian.

Proud to display this award which would not have been earned but for the unstinting help and patience of my many mentors.

I, Steven Fruitsmaak, hereby present The Exceptional Newcomer Award to Fentonrobb, for being a relative newcomer who made remarkable contributions (such as British top General says troops are unwelcome in Iraq) which show great prospectives and are much valued, and also for tireless efforts to communicate and seek advice. 00:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I, Steven Fruitsmaak, hereby present you with the Africa Award, for taking up the important stories of the world (such as World climate conference in Nairobi opened). Well done!
