I've done it twice already, once on the mobile, once on the landline... to vote for James dial 09015 2222 09.

I'm not really bothered about sport, although I do like to see the bike racing... No my reason for voting for James is because I've met him and he's a guy who has time for everyone, especially the kids as we saw on our Egg Runs...

A very nice guy indeed so start dialling

:D yes, yes yes he must win ............ a World Champion who is a nice human being and must have nerves of steel to ride like he does - as with all the bike racers. Cannot applaud them enough!

I'm afraid it was never going to happen. James was not known by enough of the voting public and was on a hiding to nothing.

A very creditable 4th place though and a deserving winner in Joe, around 10 years as an undefeated world champ!

Regards

:D Yep, take nothing away from the winner but I would have LOVED Jamie to win but ................. he was featured on breakfast TV this morning (cheered me up immensley whilst drying my hair in the gym changing rooms) but playin the piano......the man doing the review said 'talented World Champion in more ways than one' But you are right Chimp Boy, I was bounding around excitedly saying how down to earth and nice he was and how he was also so talented and brave and the other girls just wanted to know who he was 'cos they thought he was good looking! I give up! :roll:
