Got an assembly tomorrow, looking at heroes.
Can you name any recent ‘fallen heroes’
Lance
John Terry

Some females would be good

NOT Jimmy!

Bernie Madoff?
Felix Baumgartner (geddit 🙂 )

The David Beckham saga is pretty good for fallen heroes. From national hero, to scapegoat (Argentina sending off) and eventually back to national treasure.

Gary Glitter, well he’s not Jimmy.
Ben Johnson
Women are tricky…

TJ

Thatcher?

Marion Jones
Thatcher- get them whist they are young 😉
Nelson mandela

Some reality tv /soap person – i know nothing about them

Martha Stewart

jeanie longo

Milli Vanilli.

Mother Theresa.
Willie Mandela.

michael jackson – when he went all jimmy savile
james brown – when he tried to murder his wife
angus deaton – when he did coke with hookers

Nelson mandela

Tell me it’s not so – what have I missed?
Thought he was still destined for sainthood.

Depending on your views of a bit of puff then Missy Giove

Lenny Henry (he was funny once apparently)….

Tom Simpson?

Gazza

angus deaton – when he did coke with hookers

Are you joking? That’s when he became a hero! 🙂

a bit of puff

I think 400lbs of the stuff constitutes more than ‘a bit’!

Abi Titmus was destined to be a proper telly host before she got involved with John Leslie’s video camera?

footflaps – have you listen to roody’s rare records? It’s good!

tomhoward – abi titmuss was a nurse.

Got Gary Glitter
Winnie M surely

They need to be recent – these kids are 16-17

Ta for efforts so far though.

have you listen to roody’s rare records? It’s good as much fun as a severe dose of leprosy!

FTFY.

The only female “hero” (and I use the term incredibly loosely), is that bint from Twilight.
The cheating scumbag!

CaptainFlashheart – Member

have you listen to roody’s rare records? It’s good as much fun as a sever dose of leprosy!

FTFY.

It’s not that bad!
A mild dose, maybe…..

One of my class mates was annoying me a couple of weeks ago (she is south african) so I asked her which south african president abolished apartheid. Her answer – Nelson Mandela…..

Anyway – are there not a lot of corruption allegations surrounding Nelson Mandela?

Donald Crowhurst?
Frank Bough 😀 ?

Not really a hero as such, but Whitney Houston??

Heh heh – forgotten all about Frank

George it’s Winnie Mandela who is more than a little dodgy, her indoors.

How about OJ Simpson ?? They might remember him. For women try Britney Spiers.

Hitler turned out a bit of a disappointment didnt he?

Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Pook, she’d given up nursing to be a roving reporter for Richard and Judy, then got sacked when the grot film was ‘released’. Though to be fair, since then she’s been treading the boards and working her way back up doing a bit of acting. /stalker.

Richard Nixon

Are you joking? That’s when he became a hero!

god you’re right, my mistake

Britney is a good call

Actually so are Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse and George Best,

Florence Griffith Joyner – Flo Jo

John DeLorean’s life had some interesting ups and downs. Certainly had some highs, darling of the Thatcherites in the 80’s, at one time employer of around 2000 people in Northern Ireland, maker of arguably one of the most iconic cars ever made.
P&**ed it all away, and ended up in a dodgey hotel room trying to sell a suitcase full of cocaine ….. legend.

Tiger woods for putting his balls in the wrong holes.
Rooney with the grab a granny fetish.

Forget those monor celebrities, I give you Fern Britton

A lot of celebrities, but very few heroes (if any).

No one mentioned David Millar – <opens can of worms> he’s also a good example of how to climb back onto the pedestal (IMHO).

A lot of celebrities, but very few heroes (if any).

Which is what the assembly’s about – heroes make sacrifices – Battle of Britain and all that

How about OJ Simpson

That’s who i thought of too. Hard to top going from all-American hero to wife killer. Lance might be a bit of a c**t but he’s never killed anyone to death by stabbing.

Barrymore? 😀
