Snorri xxx
yeh it came 17th I think, or was it 27th 
Saw the results on the BBC2 Culture Show last night (fuck knows what I was doing watching that?) they played Age of Consent for a few seconds while PC&L was mentioned.
i'm glad concorde won, as it's the most internationally known of the three. too bad i'll never get the chance to fly it!

Don't you have HP Brown Sauce over there Christy ?

You can have a go in mine if you want.
My list would be:
Glass HP sauce bottle BMW 535i (2000 model, in green) The 2006 Viking badge
Design classics, one and all.
I should add that the airoplane I am about to get on was brilliantly designed. Hopefully!
It will always be a regret that I never flew on concorde, or became a regular flyer on it. A true masterpiece, and only one part of Tony Benns fine legacy.
When I've got half of Western Europe under my direct control, I'll order the economic planners to redevelop supersonic travel for the masses!

i do buy it when i can, though. it beats our A-1 steak sauce anyday.

I never had you down as a green-liberal Liam. A sort of Anita Ruddock character - sans the billions.
Its so tough being a visionary. So many people just cant raise their heads from the tough and look towards the stars. James Connolly said that we only want the earth - but fuckem, we want it all. It ALL. Do you hear me now?
The last great socialist system moved from feudalism and serfdom to a nuclear economy and the first human being in space - all in under 40 years. Think of what the next one will do.
I have to say, I liked the Underground map and the Angelpoise. I've never been a fan of British phone boxes. Apart from the imperial connotations, they just look bad. Although I'm a fan of Peter Saville, I dont think he belonged in there either.

lol.use all the little people as fuel for the aeroplanes. forward thinking and cleaning up as you go along.. as far as Design Icons go. would think that the Shuttle is more globally recognised.
glass-bottled HP sauce is on all the shelves here. (Canada) right beside the ketchups, mustards and unrefrigerated horseradishes.
Adidas performance strips or the Nike-swoosh. if it didn't matter from which Country then maybe the FORD- truck or McDonalds golden arches.
