Isambard Kingdom Brunel
One of the best engineers EVER. Smoked about 40 cigars a day and only slept about 2 hours a night.

i'd like to meet Stevenson the engineer,
i'd like to meet Faraday and buy him a beer,
and i'd love to meet the man who had the bright idea,
of Bob Wilson, Anchorman.

I watched Seven Wonders of the Industrial World
One of them was his ship, the Great Eastern. It was excellent.

Course it can!
Bet you do anyway.
I'm a big chubpot, and I bet I don't look that bad naked. Just a bit widescreen.

As a scientist
I am willing to be the independent judge of such a comparison.
Please can all entrants send a photo of their arse in the following positions:
1) Stood up with a normal sheet of A4 paper held alongside (for scale) - try to keep it in the same plane as your hip sockets.
2) sat on a copy of today's daily telegraph on a hard wooden surface.
Cladding is up to the entrant, but no salopets.

I will act as the independant arbitration panel

Doubtful.
Well, I don't know. I'm a size 16-18 with a massive arse and tits, and I really couldn't give a shit who knows.
I think I look pretty good, even if I am a bit tubby- makes me sexier.

Apparently a very nice bridge. Ooooh, look at that bridge, granddads say. Especially my ones.
Let's look at this bridge in the rain for an hour.

Not just a bloody bridge
he made fucking loads of things.
The Great Western Railway was designed and built by him, and he pioneered the use of the larger gauge rails which remain in use today.
Then there were the Great Western, Great Eastern and the SS Great Britain, don't forget them.
And loads of other stuff.

I don't want to design one, I've got one and it's lovely, ta.
I'll keep the top hat though, I haven't owned one of these in years.
You design one if it's so bloody awesome. GO ON.

It's the time of the tiny creep,
