530. How Welsh people can have English Accents but English people don't have Welsh accents
I am open to adjudication on this one, but fundamentally I think it's a jibe at England.

We had Richard and Judy as a pair, but not as individuals so I suppose they should stay. Similarly I think we can get away with "474. 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) Think I've now replaced the duplicate entries I was at fault for on the original posts. |

Well, what number are they at now? Do we have to start re-numbering from the beginning?  Painful  (See the use of smileys Eamo. Prick) |

545. For being in the right place at the right time when Micha Barton's mother decided to drop a sprog. We can only claim Micha under the grandparent ruling. Incidentally Micha has 2 films coming out next year called "Closing the Ring" and "Guilty Pleasures" which both sound extremely promising. I'm almost considering cutting back to 8 Gordon Banks a week just to stock up for the inevitable tommytankathon that will be the release of those films.  |

Hexxx (A supernatural thriller centering on coeds in New Orleans) sounds like it might be a decent role as well.

Checked up on Winkipedophile for you there Steamer and noticed this Splashtastic babe became a Naturalised US Citizen February 2006. This may ease your guilty strokes re your strong feelings of treason as you do what you do. Plus it might warrant the fact of her removal from the list, as she has actively turned her back on the country of her birth ( although it doesn't state whether she has reneged her British passport). |

549. Torvill. 550. Dean. 551. Sally Gunnell. 552. Fatima Whitbread (what a beast!). 553. Earl of Spencer. 554. Marks and Spencers. 555. Linford Christie. 556. Private Lee Clegg. 557. Their media correctly getting up in arms over the racist murders of Stephen Lawrence and Anthony Walker yet paying lip service to the similarly sickening murder of the poor kid in Ballymena because he's Irish. #557 too controversial?! Think Fatman Whitebread was aforementioned. open to correction. |

We had Torvill and Dean as a pairing but not as individual skaters so no reason they can't remain. Pretty sure we had Sally Gunnell recently. |

I've changed my duplicates on the original post. I have got rid of #557 as it could be considered insensitive but the inclusion was driven by anger at their media. It's actually totally sickened me - even our own politicians are coming out with the 'it's a terrible reminder of what things used to be like - let all the politicians now work together to ensure it doesn't happen again'. Fook that political talk. A kid has been murdered because of who he is in this day and age and it's buried somewhere in the middle of most papers. There should be national and international outrage. |
