May 12, 200718 yr No. Vicky Newton will choose apperently. :mellow: Well, would be better than the 3am girls. :lol: Since it's a Sun thing, there's no danger of that, thank God. ^_^ I'm already thrilled Rob made the Top 5. :yahoo: Still would be interesting to know how the final winner is chosen and by who. Maybe we're about to find out.

May 12, 200718 yr Author Oh my days and I didnt even make the list?! :mellow: ofcourse not Joshwaaa...its the list for the GREATEST living Britains :P :P :P
May 12, 200718 yr I agree, I am sure he will be very pleased. Did'nt he make the top 20 Worst Briton list a few years ago :lol: And lord know why Maggie is there, I always thought she was more hated than loved. She was voted the 3rd WORST Briton ever. The Sun readers must like her. :wacko: Maggie was very popular. In certain parts of the UK. Not my part however. :lol:
May 12, 200718 yr Maggie was very popular. In certain parts of the UK. Not my part however. :lol: Well, I don't know alot about her, but from what I've heard she was a nasty piece of work. No wonder she was voted the 3rd worst Briton ever. :lol: The Queen will probebly win though.... Although, as far as actual achivments go, Macca should win by far. -_-
May 13, 200718 yr Has anyone noticed that Rob is the youngest on that shortlist and by far ? I didn't realise myself until it was pointed out on TRWS but it's defenitely true. At the age of 33 it's amazing what he has experienced and what he has achieved. If we'd have a bow-smiley I'd use that now. :D
May 13, 200718 yr Yep, It really is amazing. I mean the rest of them are in their 60's, 70's and 80's, so for Rob, at 33 to be there is quite an achievemtn. :o
May 14, 200718 yr Author Robbie is not just a pop star By SAMANTHA WOSTEAR May 14, 2007 WE’RE on the trail of the Greatest Living Briton – and Sun readers have picked the final five. The winner will be announced at a star-studded ceremony in London next Monday. Meanwhile, every day this week we are showcasing one of the finalists — Julie Andrews, Paul McCartney, the Queen, Margaret Thatcher and Robbie Williams — with their supporters saying why their hero should win the contest, sponsored by Marks & Spencer. We begin today with singer Robbie, ex-patron of the charity Jeans For Genes, which funds research into genetic disorders affecting children. Six-year-old Rhys Evans suffers from a severe immune deficiency and relies on cash from the charity to improve his quality of life. His mother Marie, a 36-year-old teacher, of Caerphilly, South Wales, says: There’s a very special reason why Robbie should be voted Greatest Living Briton and it is not just because he writes great pop songs. His support has helped to give our little boy a future. Rhys was born in 2000 with a condition called X-SCID, which meant his body couldn’t fight infection. It’s often called ‘boy in the bubble syndrome’ because that’s sort of how he had to live. We’ve got photos of him in his bouncing chair in hospital, sat beneath a plastic cover to keep his environment sterile and free from germs. But even in isolation he still managed to pick up infections and he was so poorly that at times we weren’t sure he would survive. Robbie did so much to encourage people to take part in Jeans For Genes Day and, in doing so, raised money for life-saving treatment. He’s made such a difference to our family and thousands of others that the charity helps to support. With Robbie’s help, Jeans For Genes funded the development of gene therapy at Great Ormond Street Hospital and this is what transformed Rhys’s life. He was the first child in the country to have the treatment, which re-educated his body and taught it how to create white blood cells. Rhys is now doing really well at school — something we feared we might never see. We love to listen to Robbie’s CDs at home, not just because the songs are great but because they remind us of how he’s helped to change our lives. Courageous Rhys adds: “I’d like to meet Robbie and say hello. “We went to a fashion show in a big hotel in London where there were lots of famous people showing off their jeans. “Robbie had given some jeans to the charity that they could sell and raise money to help other children like me. “I met another little boy who had had the same treatment as me. “Robbie is the best because he’s helped to make me better and he’s helped lots of other children too — and his songs are great!”
