Burberry is #305 so can we get a new #406? Can't believe James Blunt didn't get a mention before now - shame on us all. I like James Blunt. |

444. Enid Blyton 445. The Famous Five 446. Closing the mines Enid Blyton's already in at 98. Also, we've a much better chance of making 1966 if you split out the Famous Five into (at least) five entries. |

Enid Blyton is a legend. I'm not, she's one of the most patronising cliched writers ever, such utter drivel in those famous five books. |

Enid Blyton is a legend. I dislike each of Julian, D!ck (can't believe I had to edit that to stop it coming up as "thingy"), Anne, George and Timmy the dog. Okay with Timmy it's really just the name. Also the fact that (as I recall) they owned an island. Also the "Famous Five" theme tune. Also the "Secret Seven" Also the "Adventurous Four" |

Wasn't a Famous Five fan but really liked the Five Find Outers, Secret Seven and various other books she wrote.

various other books she wrote. Thanks for reminding me lyonsee 452. Noddy 453. Big Ears 454. The fact that Noddy's enemy was a golliwog (fingers crossed that'll get past the censors) On the Blyton theme 455. The Secret Seven 456. The Famous Five theme tune "Wherever there's adventure to be found Just a clue or a secret message bring the Famous Five around Whenever there's a mystery to be solved up in the ruined castle or down in smugglers' hold (Chorus:) We are the Famous Five Julian, thingy and Anne, George and Timmy the dog We are the Famous Five Coming back to you, time after time, after time" And on the literature theme: 457. Miss Marple Good call on 448 whyohwhy, though isn't it "lashings and lashings of ginger ale"? |

I disagree with #33. What's wrong with the Ashes? One of the most historic sporting rivalries and last year's series was probably the best sporting series I have ever witnessed in terms of quality, drama, amazing individual feats.........

MBEs, OBEs etc. as if an award from a disgraced and shameful institution should make somebody feel better about their lives" despite already having "176. MBEs" and "177. OBEs", but the following are recidivist entries: 466. Simon Cowell (already 134) 467. Pop Idol (80) 475. Royal Ascot (65) 484. Sebastian Coe (35) 485. Peter Stringfellow (86) 486. Ladettes (231) 493. Neville Chamberlain (279) |
