actually tony blair isn't scottish........

baird - didn't really invent the tv. it would be like saying that the man who invented the gas light invented the ligh bulb.

bell - arguagbly stole the telephone idea.

darwin - the theory of evoltuion is a little flawed at best.

shakespeare - did not change the english what so ever.

churchil - a truly great war leader

sports heroes? - yeah cos they really changed the way you life your lives.

music people? - yeah cos that's something that is far better than inventors, engineers, genuises and leaderss.

churchil deserves his place near the top. he may not have been the defining reason why we won the war but he was a great war-time leader. he gave inspiration in britains darkest hours and deserves recogintion for that. do not put him beside people who kick a ball for money or play guitar.

books, games and music are not what greatness is about. it's about changing lives, perception, times, ideas or history. brunel, churchil, darwin (though it's got holes), hawkins (i don't trust it though), newton, rommel, geldof, the guy who made the internet (not al gore) , diana (though i don't like her at all.)

there are far greater people than bloody david beckham. get a grip.
