Visionary: Jonathan Ive
Designer: Sir Paul Smith
Manager: Sven Goran Eriksson

What are this panel experts in, I wonder? I think I stand a good chance of getting in the next one.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:48 (twenty years ago)

Sven? Crazy. Have they only heard of one manager (and what does "manager" mean anyway)? Lazy hack cunts.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

1) who is jonathan ive?
2) and what the hell do they mean by 'viosionary' anyway?
3) should i be more outraged by homer simpson or bob geldof?
4) are we sure that football managers deserve recognition on a par with the others? who cares about football managers?

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

Dickheads who read Men's Health and pretend to like football

1) Designed the iMac, the old iMac, the even older iMac, the Mac Mini and the iPod.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 11:55 (twenty years ago)

maybe they mean 'the top ten cunts of the decade'.

that would make a lot more sense.

i suppose it could have been worse, it could have been nick hornby instead of ian mcewan.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

Venter? Maybe on the Forbes Top 10.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

2) and what the hell do they mean by 'viosionary' anyway?

Good eyesight.

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:05 (twenty years ago)

Probably more far-sighted, cause he needs glasses for good schpelling.

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:06 (twenty years ago)

has paul smith really been knighted?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:08 (twenty years ago)

Paul frigging Smith? Good lord! (-> If he's knighted, replace with Good Knight!) He lives in Tokyo now, doesn't he?

Lance Armstrong. Pffff. If it'd been "enhanced sportsman" I could have maaaaaaybe agreed.

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)

What are this panel experts in, I wonder?

By the looks of it, crazy monkeys with too much time on their hands (or is it paws?).

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:11 (twenty years ago)

I think monkeys have hands.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:12 (twenty years ago)

There needs to be a moratorium on journalists writing about The Simpsons. The Guardian did a horrrendous piece the other day on it, where they referred to "Marje" throughout.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

Correct me if I'm right, but Eriksson has only won one trophy in the past ten years (Scudetto with Lazio), right? How exactly does this compare to Lippi, Fergusson, or Rehnegal?

Why can't people take philosophy seriously anyway? Homer Simpson? Isn't that joke very old?

― paulhw (paulhw), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 13:52 (twenty years ago)

The Simpsons is very old

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

Philosophy is even older, why should anyone take it seriously?

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

How exactly does this compare to Lippi, Fergusson, or Rehnegal?

Sven's a hit with the ladeez which will appeal more to readers of Men's Health. Certainly more than boring stuff like winning trophies.

In corporate culture, "visionary" just means "marketing director"
No real "herald of the apocalypse" sense of the word is intended.

― sexyDancer (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

wait isn't men's health a gay mag?

It's one of the few mags specifically for the repressed.
