Richard Branson!

Gawd, a tax dodger.............

Congratulations chaps and our sheep <deleted> colonial friends

this is the 150th post in this thread and other than some minor skirmishes, we have resisted a US invasion and don't believe I have seen one post which starts ... "Well in Iowa, or Oregon"

Why on Earth anyone would want to invade Blighty is beyond me. I'm from Florida & it gets too cold there (Florida) in the winter for my tastes.

It's probably what drove the Brits to colonize the world a couple hundred years ago..... Trying to find someplace with decent weather....um, AND food.

EASY!

Gawd, a tax dodger.............

If the guy was a tax dodger he'd be in jail. He DID get tossed in the clink once for that. Spent about 48 hours there according to his book.

He's a guy that employs thousands and enriches the lives of the planet.

Oh yeah, I forgot Guv'ner! The Guv'ment does such a far better job with our tax money.

Dear god...we have a spy in our midst and he has been impersonating and English man, where is Biggles when you need him

Actually what drove the British to colonize the world was tea and drugs actually ...

The British empire was the biggest drug dealing cartel in the history of mankind, the Colombians and Mexicans have nothing on old blightly when it came to their drug deals

correct....my next nomination....Cecil John Rhodes...

Prince George Louis of Cambridge. Why?

1) looks nothing like his grandfather

2) the only future king with no blemishes on his past (not counting dirty nappies)

3) adored by all humans not just the Brits

4) has not been humiliated by the press

5) has not said a thing controversial

6) comfortable sitting on pippa middleton's lap with no ulterior motive (not yet!)

Hail the future king of England, the greatest Englishman alive.

EASY!

Gawd, a tax dodger.............

isn't he the chappie who makes the pickle

I wonder who invented the pickle? Whoever he is, he's my hero.

I have a gallon jug a of fat North Carolina dills, swimming in brine with a chopped jalapeno & half a head of chopped garlic.

Biting into one is pure heaven!

I nominate Tim Berners-Lee for giving us the World Wide Web.

A very good nomination, probably done more to influence modern mankind than anyone else.

EASY!

Is Sir Richard NOT English??????

I always thought he was.

And did you call me a fink?

If so, what, exactly is a fink?

Do you hate innovators? Guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs & Michael Dell?

You'll probably reply yes, from your PC or Mac computer, while you call home via a Virgin phone connection.

I don't adore him and certainly don't want him as a king of Scotland. I doubt if there will even be a King of England when he grow up.If there is, it'll probably be a foreigner.

now now my little colonial friend, this is light hearted thread with a bit of mickey taking, so do start getting all serious and threatening to invade

A "fink" for the uneducated.. is "Think" and this is how personages from London, predominately the east end of London pronounce "Think"

Your all wrong and I can't believe he's been left out.

The greatest living english man is Simon cowell.

Let's hope we don't have to waite that long to get our freedom from the moaning Scots.

Cant forget Sir Macca

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney

<deleted> !!!! Would barely be a busker without Lennon and was the architect of one of the worlds worst bands in history - WINGS !!

Add to that he is morphing into Mrs Doubtfire and that is an absurd choice sir !

Well he is a knight of the realm, and very very rich man to boot because of his music and here you is whining about him on an internet forum, so you got ? knighthood, CBE, a DBE ?

And for the modern English society this fellowimage.jpg

Good one CC. Maybe this one is a tad more wholesome?
