Tempus Fugit 214 Posted April 10, 2016 I really should have added Nelson Mandela to my list, he achieved almost nothing but is lauded as a virtual saint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,272 Posted April 10, 2016 Im starting to think I should have put Richard Osman instead of Tony Benn even if I do think he would signed the country over to Brezhnev/Kruschev if he'd had the chance. Even the laptop that sits in front of Osman is a dummy prop the annoying twat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,905 Posted April 11, 2016 I know this might be controversial but I am going to say David Tennant and remember I am saying this as a die-hard Doctor Who fan. I'm going to be even more controversial and say Dame Judi Dench. She has a nice clear speaking voice but she doesn't have that wide a range as an actress. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,093 Posted April 11, 2016 Leafyishere and woody Alan. Don't know leafyishere (or there) but Woody Allen is a great choice. leafy is a 20 year old who has made more money than you ever will be mocking people who do nothing wrong on YouTube. They are usually vulnerable people and his fanbase is the most obnoxious bunch of ten year olds you'll ever see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted April 11, 2016 Nelson Mandela (a glorified terrorist) Martin Luther King JFK Gorbacev Albert Einstein John Lennon Lev Trotsky Lula da Silva and Murray Walker because he did not deserve to be on Deathlist!!! ^^ \o/ hiya Murray , hiya pal. Agree re Mandela, although not so much 'glorified' as 'won', JFK & gorby. Is this alive or dead? Well Marks as he just carked it in any case. A junkie who wrote a book, boo fuckin hoo. The world's a better place with him planted , lol. Christopher Columbus. Wasn't first there no matter which way you look at it. Jesus of Nazareth, cunt. Steven Spielberg , got lucky in the 70's, lived off it since whilst making some amount of shite. JK Rowling, Potter isn't close to the top 10 of the genre. Elvis. Fat junkie who couldn't pronounciate. Winston Churchill , got lucky. Very very lucky. Jim Carey, talentless fucker. Agree with the John Bishop call by deathers was it??, but I raise you Susan Calman (no idea if surname is spelt correctly, by I ain't googling the cow), gets R4 airtime continually, and I can only think it's because she's a muncher. How long have I got ??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
