The Beatles vs superkingdave

http://forum.cricketweb.net/showpost...&postcount=199

So, which is the greatest thing to come out of Britain since they invented cricket?

This poll is so serious that there isn't even a place for an irrelevant third option.

Tough assignment, must say that the children have overtaken the father in terms of greatness.

Dav had the hair to take on any of them at their peak (probably 1964 in terms of hair). Also edges them out on general coolness. So you would have to say that Dav is the greatest thing to come of Britain since cricket.

Appropriate move on the irrelevant third option as well, I feel.

I'd like to see some pictorial references to guide my decision.

Positively disugsted at the lack of a 3rd option, mind you.

Yeah I agree, I was kind of hoping there'd be no reply, so we can get on with the crucial matter at hand.

pasag, why don't you get back to your studies, instead of posting stupid puns.

Clearly the general consensus is that The Beatles are superior. I don't see any SKD lyrics in here so far.

Dav, the former Taxman seems to be pretty much Here, There & Everywhere in Oz just now. I Want To Tell You all that he's pretty much the best thing to come out of Oldham ever. I've Got A Feeling there's only one winner here. Something tells me that Sam Vimes as a Norwegian Wood probably vote for him too.
