    I watched up until the top 40 then I went to be 'cause I was too tired...

    What I want to know is where was Frank Bruno?
    Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.

    Naw, he's from the South, as is Geldof and James Connelly who made the poll. The "greatest briton" referred to anyone from the British Isles.

    /insert Anglo-irish debate HERE

    Aaaaaanyway, how the **** Michael Crawford came in at no 15 is beyond me

    He didn't even make the top 100 - In fact, Northern Irland was the ONLY country in the Isles that had noone "Great" apparently.

    You have to cast votes on the BBC website to decide the final 10:

    Darwin
    Newton
    Shakespeare
    Diana (fer ****s sake )
    Churchill
    Elizabeth I
    Brunel
    Cromwell
    Nelson
    Lennon (!!!)
    Gaffer (of course )
