The Brits are insane.
[link|http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=803768|http://abcnews.go.co...reStory?id=803768] Britpop group Oasis' 1995 hit "Wonderwall" topped a radio station's poll of the best British songs of all time on Monday.
Listeners to Britain's Virgin Radio voted the anthem by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher's band their all time favorite British hit.
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" came in second place and Led Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven" placed third. Queen and the Beatles had the most entries of eight each in the poll of the best 100 songs, as voted by 8,300 listeners to the radio station. Peter, you may start apologizing now. WONDERWALL?!?!?!? Sheesh. Aleph-null bottles of beer on the wall, aleph-null bottles of beer.
You take one down, you pass it around,
Aleph-null bottles of beer on the wall!

Oh alright, when the BBC ran a Greatest Briton of all time campaign, it was Lady Diana Spencer, ahead of Charles Darwin and William Shakespeare. HATE HATE HATE I DENOUNCE MY OWN COUNTRY.

Bertrand Russell wasn't in the [link|http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2208671.stm|100 great British heroes]?
I mean, if Tim Berners Lee can be a hero, then certainly Bertie should be.

That's a partial relief
My memory must be bad. Well, I still hate my country for voting for her at all, let alone ahead of Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare and Isaac Newton.

I'd have voted for either Liz I or Newton, methinks.
Liz I kicked ARSE.

Scots, mainly, IIRC.
BTW, I notice William Wallace was on the list too... Interesting. Wasn't he more of an *Anti*-Briton?
