Nellers Jul 2012 6:38pm, 28 Jul 2012 21,961 posts	0 Nellers That's popular with me. I can't abide Bean and it was all I could do not to be annoyed with him being in the opening ceremony.

sheri3004 Jul 2012 7:48pm, 28 Jul 2012 13,175 posts	0 sheri3004 Cool. We could form an OTDIFH anti-Bean club.

Frobester Jul 2012 8:10pm, 28 Jul 2012 20,317 posts	0 Frobester Bean (or Atkinson, in reality) deserves somewhat less opprobium than the Macca, I feel. Bean's dream sequence in Chariots was suitably irreverant without being slapstick. Macca just wheeled out a coupla singalongadirges.
Nellers Jul 2012 8:16pm, 28 Jul 2012 21,963 posts	0 Nellers Can we really blame Macca for allowing himself to be wheeled out as a National Treasure for all the big events? It's the organisers you've got to blame, surely?

Regular listeners of FT will know about this one. What national 'treasure' do you feel would be better on a skip rather than on a pedestal?

Someone (an MK Dons supporter) proposed AFC Wimbledon, about whom everyone gets misty eyed but he hated.

Other nominations included Bruce Forsyth and Seb Coe.

We were discussing this on the Rugby Wire (whch unforgivably is *not* called "y wifren rygbi ") as Martin Johnson was nominated.

It was suggested that a wider audience might enjoy the challenge.
