fair enough she had a hard life **
She didn’t even have a hard death forgodsake.
She died young, beautiful, rich, royal and in a friggin Merc, not any old Merc, mind you, but the kind of Merc that would buy a good sized country residence up here in Yorkshire.
The impact likely put her out too quick to feel too much, unlike the ordinary prole who has to endure a couple of decades waiting for medical intervention that arrives too late to be much use.Not much glamour in that.
The show was very good IMO. Fair enough with Churchill although I would personally have gone for Newton or Darwin but there you go.
I enjoyed to debate. All involved seemed to be having a lot of fun and made some good points. Di in top 3 is a joke that’s what you get when the general public are involved, hey at least Beckham wasn’t in the Top 10.
I thought the voting was a shambles for the top 100, but only because it gives the impression that people really thought Beckham, Crawford etc. were the greatest person to originate from these islands. In really of course, plenty of the stupid choices were just a result of people taking the piss, which they’re entitled to do. It was only a BBC poll after all, not some serious international event. It only looks worse when you look at it from the perspective of a board like this one.
Even here you can’t trust people to use common sense all the time though. If you haven’t done so already, you might like to have a look at the GD thread Who is the greatest human being ever?
The OP there specifically excluded Jesus from the candidates to avoid it turning into a religious argument. Guess what happened next.
