Wheres Jade Goody
and don't slag off England's rose like that

[Shaun]

Jade Goody's rotting in the ground somewhere, honey.

And she's so bloody romanticised - she was nothing but a media-whoring charity worker. I love how people always have a go at Charles for having the affair...erm. Al Fayed? Hello?

[Beastie]

Where is Cheryl Cole? lol

Ahh yes.. people tend to do "charity work" when they are already "well off" themselves. A nice little job for them to do when "media work" has dried up. lol

Glad there is no silly people on it. Like Goody or Jordan.

She was divorced in 96 and started a relationship with DODI in 97.
She had an affair with Hewitt.

Very true, plus Will Carling and a couple of others joined the blue cock brigade(dipped it in Di). Charles was having the affair before, during the marriage and after the marriage.

Makes you wonder who Harry's dad is.

Charles was having an affair with/lusting after Camilla throughout his marriage to Diana - so he was the unfaithful one! He only used her to produce heirs!

[BB_Eye]

Kant should be waaaayyyyy higher than Voltaire.

Rousseau > Jefferson

Glad Copernicus is higher than Galileo.

Also, where is Richard Wagner? The man was a legend... everybody knew who he was in the 19th century, he is possibly the most written about man since Jesus and he forever altered the course of music.

Nietzsche and Victor Hugo should be there too.

WHY why why mention Louis Armstrong's pop music at the expense of Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk and... just about every great jazz musician?

Goethe?

Good to see Simon Bolivar get a mention.

Christopher Columbus obviously deserves his place, even though the man was a vile monster.

Great choice for number 1

[Shaun]

I'm not sure if they're in order

[Nemo123]

Lise Meitner

the woman who proved e=mc2

not on the list.
