Ok the winning hands, with my totally rational reasoning, are:
The BeatlesDown to personal preference I guess but IMHO more groundbreaking and influencial
MASHNot the dominator - although I totally understand why most plumped for this. A very personal one as the great Mash v Smash debate between my friends "Cokeman" (not as bad as it sounds) and "Lay" lasted for 3 years of my Uni life. The wider debate was around taste vs convenience etc. - My Bad!
BirminghamLove Manchester (I would be perfectly happy only ever listening to music from the North West released between "88 & "95) but Birmingham has a lot more going for it these days with a wider variety of drinking areas and I a big fan of some of the canal-side bars... whereas if you head for Canal-side bars in Manchester it"s a totally different experience
BlackberryI have an i-Phone, it"s a great gadget and I wouldn"t be without
something like it however thank f*** I have another mobile with work as the phone element is useless!
Kylie"nuff said - nice try with the lapdance though
MillenniumI"m English, I get passionate about my country and the new Wembley is a fine stadium... bit it is still in
Wembley which is a hole. The Millennium is a great stadium, great atmosphere, slap bang in the middle of the city "and you get the rugby there"
Carlsberg - See BelowDaphneAlways been there for me through the tough times as well as the good. Jessica was simply a
Jessy come lately who turned a few heads. If I"m honest, I would go with Jessica... but I"d be thinking of Daphne. Plus she was humanised in the form of Sarah Michelle Gellar
Star WarsHand on Heart in recent years I have come to realise the Godfather trilogy is far superior IMHO, however Star Wars has mass appeal and takes the edge for its longievity.
DominationI am stunned and dissappointed that none of you identified Carlsberg as the domination! With 167 years of brewing heritage and a founder who discovered the first pure yeast on which all modern lagers are now based, whilst developing the pH scale in his spare time, Carlsberg is clearly, far superior to that North American gnats wee*
So, by my reckoning 4 of you had 6 correct, Ger was obsiously DQ"d by his disparaging Carlsberg remarks, Stu went a similar way, leaving Steve and Dave and I have to give the edge to...... Dave! given that I"ve worked on those adverts myself (steve - everything printed on the can is 100% true)
Dave - feel free to submit your list!
*If anyone from Coors is reading this, this was just a bit of fun from Carlsberg"s Marketing Manager, please don"t sue me
