Meopham, Kent.
Graeme Smith

A born winner and an excellent captain. If he was English he would be lauded by fans and press alike.

Was he captain? Anyway, despite the goal in the first half he will always be remembered for the miss at teh end of Extra Time I'm afraid.


:p

Very good. Maybe needed a little clarification on that one!

I don't like Graeme Smith (the South African cricketer, not the comedy Scottish goalkeeper) but I agree that we would love him to bits if he was English. Hard as nails and a damned good, if ugly, batsman.

Bit like Kevin Pietersen, he's not English, but we'd embrace him if he was.

:thumbsup:

I like listening to Geoffrey Boycott on the radio. I know a lot of people can't stand him because he's a self-regarding, not-in-my-day, over-opinionated professional Yorkshireman, but that's what makes him entertaining for me.

It'd be boring if they were all CMJ-alikes (not to say CMJ is rubbish but just that the show needs different personalities).

I like Prince Charles too. Wears a suit very well.

On that subject then: Camilla Parker Bowles. Wouldn't say I care much about her either way, but I always think she's had a pretty raw deal (well, as raw a deal as you can have, when you marry the heir to the British crown) from the media, and consequently the public.

Let's be honest, with a face like hers, she's got to have a cracking personality...either that or she's dynamite in bed, I'm not sure which.... Anyway, her only crime appears to me to be NOT being a Sloaney, vaguely attractive but slightly dim-witted clothes horse/media whore with bad taste in music and an obsessive need for attention.

And statistically, half the people who judge her for supposedly wrecking the dream marriage, are probably divorced themselves, so in no position to criticise. I'm sure she's not the witch she's often portrayed as.
