Jamie Oliver is a good shout. Not a fan of Stephen Fry though, I must admit.

Jonny Wilkinson is a great shout. A brilliant example of never giving up to return from not one, but many injuries that would have ended many other athlete's careers. Also, everyone dreams about scoring the winning goal/points in the World Cup fnal for their country in their chosen sport. This man has actually done that.

 

[public school boy]

The Queen
Claire Short
The Krankies
Bob Hope
Stan Laurel

 

[Danny-Boy]

Harry Potter, Lady Penelope, Soap Mactavish and Jesus

No Jesus slagged off my team on another thread. He stinks.

 

[FLOG GNAW]

43 Marathons in 51 days .

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yep, fair play to the Izzard.

I think there is a big difference between successful and good. Margaret Thatcher and John Major, or Tony Blair and Michael Foot, Blair and Thatcher were obviously more successful but who would go and get your shopping if you lived next door and had a broken leg??

 

[New Carpet?]

Brian Blessed.

none of them, they would pay some hard up jobseeker to do it, then claim it back on expenses.

 

[Nibble]

Yep, fair play to the Izzard.

watched the last part of his marathon prog last night. I believe that what one man can do another can do but my god, I really don't think I could even do one marathon let alone the amount he did (42 or something?) . Legend.

On that Douglas Bader picture it says '22.5 victories', which presumably means planes shot down. How can you have a half of a plane shot down? Surely either it's shot down, or it isn't. Half a plane is unlikely to be able to continue to fly.

Pedantry aside, he's definitely a Great Briton.

Great image conjured up of Bader who spots a cockpit falling past his window, fixes his gaze on the face of Fritz, who's contorting in pain as half his body has been shot away, thinking: "Well I'll be damned, the bugger's still ALIVE. Better take no chances, take THIS you Bosch bounder!"
