(okay, that sparklehorse thing was shit) but the piece on that Tower of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band was good, I thought. Even if the analysis was a bit poo. And the fans were creepy. And the artist was annoying. Oh, forget it, it was all shit.

Lauren Laverne may be prejudicing my opinion here somewhat.

In the "it would be rubbish if there wasn't LL to look at" sense.

On the basis of his performance in NCIS (which you all should be really be watching of a Saturday evening) I'd vote for David McCallum.

I wouldn't go as far as voting, but I certainly would give an honourable mention.

Also, are you trolling us with that statement?

NCIS is awesome.

I still think that short list is awesome in a "That's It?" kind of way.

IF I hadn't taken the pledge about parody threads, I'd have started a

"The Nation's Greatest Inanimate Object : Shortlist" thread..

1) The Angel of the North
2) The River Trent
3) Birmingham.

Nation mourns, poll conveniently shelved (which would be a result given that the whole thing is a bit embarrassing).

Nation mourns a bit, unless it's Morrissey, in which case a part of the nation mourns incredibly.

A very small part of the nation (remember, "This Charming Man" only got to #25 first time out; What The Public Wanted was Billy Joel, the Flying Pickets and Roland Rat Superstar.
