going to second that nomination, for those who get on TV taking themselves and life far too seriously, ranting a raving and whinging, go and read up on Colin's story or ask him

if any one has the right the complain about the hand life has dealt them, it's Colin, but don't every think I have ever seen any of his posts complaining about anything, and always has a good comment and positive outlook on life

My personal choice is Leonardo Da Vinci, in my view probably the most talented person to have ever lived with a magnificent mind and multiple talents.

One wonders just how he would have fitted in the world as we know it today alongside such people as Stephen Hawkin, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Alan Turing, to name a couple of modern day geniuses.
