Definitely. How on earth can Fish and Chips beat The Beatles, JK Rowling, David Bowie and Monty Python?!

SnfflesLuvr 06-25-2008 07:35 AM

Wow, I love Jo so much more than a lot of that stuff, lol. And Prince William would definitely be on my top list, haha. Anyways, congratulations, Jo!

Co0o0ol !!

Tee Hee Hee !

Merope Gaunt 06-25-2008 12:14 PM

I live in Britain, but honestly, I can't wait to leave. The list has all the great things about the country, but the trouble is that most of it is being lost... Britain is a European State... So all of you wanting to pack your bags and head over here, I'd advise you to put that on hold for a while.. As a lot of the natives are trying to jump ship. Its sad.

puffy 06-25-2008 01:49 PM

wow thats cool?fish and chips? :lol:
congrats to JK !
