"Whatever happened to all of the heroes?"

[consty]

who are yours?

dead ones please.

In no great order:

Karl Marx (cologne striker, 1950's)
Che Geuverra (1960's fashion designer)
Jean Paul Sartre (Michelle Platini's coach & mentor)
The Clash/Jo Strummer (white rioter)
John Fowles (a wise magus)
Ghandi (even though "he's made one good film & we've not heard of him since")
Ludwig Von Beethoven (great music + commited to freedom & the human spirit)
The Beatles (kind of dead... the modern Beethovens with a lot of Mozart thrown in)
Carl Jung & Sigmund Freud (authors of the classics 'Pysco' ... & 'Spellbound')
Turner (invented a great prize)
Van Gough (inspired a song)
Francis Ford Coppella (of the hair salon chain)
George Orwell (for being Eric Blair, not Tony Blair)
Garribaldi (the adventurer who took the biscuit, potentially the best of the lot)

I would take all of these to my desert island. Oh, forgot, I'd probably add Marlyn Munroe as well, but for other reasons.

If I was on a desert island I'd take Jesus Christ with me. Great at catching fish. And he can walk on water. Useful for nipping down to the shops. Turns water into wine. And very forgiving. One thing worries me about Consty's island. All those blokes and only one woman. I'd have at least seven women for every bloke.

Surely you could only take people that actually existed?

 

[H T B]

Only one for me, my dad. Died when I was 16, miss him everyday.
I'm fast approaching 50.

"Hero"

Quite possibly the most over used, misused and misunderstood word in the English language.

But then again, it has no real definition and what might be a hero to me, means nothing to somebody else and vice versa.

Very rarely has anybody nominated a "hero" and for me to agree with it.

 

[pistol]

clare bennet

 

[Lako42]

Milan Mandaric......oh wait

 

[Melton Fox]

clare bennet

But she needed saving

In which case, you should look no further than Peter Patrelli

Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goerring

Don't you start with all that stuff again

 

[MKFox]

Quentin Crisp and Jimmy Somerville
