His Sexiest Moments

1. Kicking that drop goal to win the Rugby World Cup for England against Australia in 2003.

2. Dressing to impress for his date with the Queen at Buckingham palace to receive his O.B.E. He almost looked as good as he does in a pair of rugby shorts.

3. Every time he dons the white shirt of England and runs out onto the rugby field.
Three Things You Never Knew

1. Jonny is 5ft 10in tall, he weighs 13st 7lbs and takes a size nine shoe. By rugby standards he is tiny.

2. He was called up by his country after playing just 58 minutes of senior club rugby.

3. In 2004 Jonny was awarded the O.B.E. (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for his services to rugby.

Queen Elizabeth - unclear about who this guy is
Harry Potter - a lot more entertaining when he's interacting with US posters than UK ones
God - probably owns "wacky" cufflinks
Father Christmas - generally seems to hate all the right people
Simon Cowell - him vs JW is the greatest ILx feud ever
Jesus - seemed like a nice dude 6 years ago, a victim of ilm cynicism
Jonny Wilkinson - gay
Spider-Man - met this dude in real life, he's a lot more bodrick than you'd imagine
Prince William - typical "lol americans can't speak english" 'tude
David Cameron - hate this guy but people have said i'm exactly like him

Why is David Cameron more famous than Gordon Brown or Tony Blair?

jaymc, Monday, 17 December 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

Terrorists topped the worst thing list, followed by drunks, being fat, bullies, illness and dying.

In order of UK children famousness I'd say

Spiderman>>>>>Batman>>>Superman>Wolverine

though with my own kids Wolverine would be maybe joint 2nd.

what is this country coming to when children know the name of the opposition leader?

Frogman Henry, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 08:32 (eighteen years ago)

To be fair, my kids know it in the sense of "David Cameron is a right twat".

Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 08:43 (eighteen years ago)

David Cameron 2

So he'd have been voted for by blueski and who else?
