The results to the year's final Fun Online Poll were as follows:
Make up your own question
Nelson Mandela - 20%
Margaret Thatcher - 16%
Mel Smith - 11%
Hugo Chavez - 9%
Lou Reed - 9%
Paul Walker - 9%
Ronnie Biggs - 9%
J J Cale - 7%
David Frost - 5%
Peter O'Toole - 5%
The questions submitted were rather fewer than the number who took part:
Mel Smith - Which one had the strangest hair?
Graeme - Which one owned a train set?
Andrew Duffield - What does the 'r' stand for in the middle of Lou Reed's name?[Simple answer: I made a typing mistake]
Bayard - Which of the above will you miss least?
PJH - Michael Winner not make the list?
Me: Who had the most column inches of both fact-free fawning gibberish and fact-free foaming invective written about her?
The first part of my question would have applied to most of them, it was the second part which was Thatcher-specific.
[If you ask me, Nelson Mandela is like Indiana Jones in the first film. He played little or no rôle in anything - apartheid would have ended with or without him, and South Africa would have failed to live up to its potential with or without him, he was just a figurehead who appears to have been an all round likeable and decent bloke in his later years.]

Greater globalisation was going to hurt South Africa due to isolation - but I think he was important in forcing reform, because he had, by his sentence, and refusal to back down, become a legend.
If he'd have come out of prison, dead or alive, without reform, there's a good chance that would have kicked off a revolution. It would have been the tipping point.
