September 5, 200816 yr Trevor Mispeka. If you've never heard of him, he entered the 100m at the 2001 World Athletics Championships, and did it in 14.28seconds. Not surprising, really, when you consider he weighed over 20 stone. See also Wikipedia.

September 5, 200816 yr Why were the first few replies about weight? :lol: It is called 'a joke'. I THOUGHT THE IDEA OF JOKES HAD HIT DERBYSHIRE FOLK AFTER TALKING TO PEOPLE FROM THAT REGION :o Infact, maybe they were from Staffordshire... :|
September 5, 200816 yr Is Michael Jordan still making money? Or is this one of them 'Of All Time' lists? :unsure:
September 6, 200816 yr It is called 'a joke'. I THOUGHT THE IDEA OF JOKES HAD HIT DERBYSHIRE FOLK AFTER TALKING TO PEOPLE FROM THAT REGION :o Infact, maybe they were from Staffordshire... :| OK sorry i thought the topic title had changed or something :unsure:. And i'm about 400 metres from the border of Staffordshire anyway so it works both ways :P Edited September 6, 200816 yr by Harve
September 9, 200816 yr It is called 'a joke'. I THOUGHT THE IDEA OF JOKES HAD HIT DERBYSHIRE FOLK AFTER TALKING TO PEOPLE FROM THAT REGION :o Infact, maybe they were from Staffordshire... :| I'm from neither of those, coming - as I do - from a tiny place in Midlothian called Edinburgh. It's only a small place, so you might not have heard of it.
October 20, 200816 yr I expect Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso are quite high up, I saw that athletes who are paid in Euros are going up the list becuase the Euro is becoming worth more.
October 21, 200816 yr I'm from neither of those, coming - as I do - from a tiny place in Midlothian called Edinburgh. It's only a small place, so you might not have heard of it. i have :rofl: i don't quite understand why it has it's own county
October 21, 200816 yr i have :rofl: i don't quite understand why it has it's own county At least it's not as bad as Belfast - it's largely in County Antrim, but isn't it's county seat (even though, on the island, only Dublin is bigger).
November 2, 200816 yr I expect Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso are quite high up, I saw that athletes who are paid in Euros are going up the list becuase the Euro is becoming worth more. In 2007, Kimi Räikkönen replaced Michael Schumacher at the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team. Signed at a price tag in the $50million range, much was expected of the "IceMan". I don't think Alonso is paid an awful lot by Renault hense the switch to McLaren which didn't turn out so well. I'm surprised that the pay on that list is quite so low - they don't seem to be quite the billionaires that people make them out to be :lol:
