HO HO HO! now LOOK here what I've found about JUSTINE

[GretchenWiener]

much to her chagrin Justine has been thrust forward into this HILARIOUS poll

we MUST make her beat Diana ( who is after all D.E.A.D) and good houskeeping's favourite cover girl fecking twiggy

so third from bottom will do her

are we limbered up?
get voting!

Well its better than hugh, pugh, barney, mcgrew, cuthbert, dibble or grubb.

or Sam

gretchen you are voting on a metro poll, not country life

i know but for goodness sake. this is how we Lost The Empire.

Gretchen will only have her flames extinguished by a lavinia or an Emmeline

i was browsing country life at the dentist today - dull as fuck

sicknote

she's in the lead

Lol, just voted and justine in the lead!

went for emmeline
soz justine

Go Justine! You are leading the field by a head!Let's hope some pesky sufragette doesn't get in the way!

I can't see Justine in the gallery thumbnails- is she the one on dark glasses?

bloody women eh?

poor justine, i bet she hates us if she wins

arf @ zaha hadid

leona is making a strong comeback

That list is the most mental list I have ever seen. Who was Cicely Saunders? Should I know? And who the fuck is Sally Hamwee?

Anyway, am not willing to incur the wrath of Justine who probably has the power to eat our children, so have voted.

it's PUGH, Pugh, Barney Magrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb, surely?

I voted for Rosalind Franklin several times, Dame Tanny a few and Millicent Fawcett as well as Justine.

Rosalind Franklin was the one who ACTUALLY discovered the double helix nature of DNA - her x-ray crystallography pics were the clue - but the thieving bastards Watson and Crick (and the other one) didn't give her any credit for it. AND she died at 38 of ovarian cancer, probably brought on by the stress of knowing that she had been ousted from a Nobel prize. No not really - far more likely from all the x-ray crystallography but STILL! Bloody uunjust. Get Dittany on the case. Bloody Men.

leona lewis has overtaken again. when does the voting close?

Listen people - there is a LINK at the bottom of the words, above the poll list, that takes you to mini-biogs of all the contenders. You can read them! They are only one or 2 lines in most cases, just the salient points.

Cicely Saunders set up the first dedicated hospice.

as an aside - thumbwitch, James Watson is doing a talk at my work soon, do you want the details so you can harangue him at the end? :o (I can't go, due to childcare, so can't sit and mutter at the back as I initially planned to!)

There must be a Leona Lewis fan club voting.

She's not there, BoF.

However I just found this interesting piece of information:

'"Nork", a 1950s Australian slang term, derives from New South Wales, where the prominent udders on a cow advertised Norco, the North Coast Dairy Co-operative.'

Isn't that informative? Who knew.
