    No room for the Penguin paperbacks in the top ten but plenty for Womb raider, something doesn’t add up there?

    Come on the Routemaster!

    I know - why is there a need for two computer games in the vote… I don’t think catseye should go in there, because they have a flaw in them - they break by the very nature of there design!

    Nice one its not a bug its a feature!

    also why is most of the stuff trumped up as being great when each one has a flaw in them! In fact they’re all shat and I’m not voting!

    I’m reconsidering here’s my list

    catseye’s break
    Concorde’s crash
    GTA isn’t an icon!
    Phone booth - don’t even make it anymore
    mini - bastard germans have it (no offense to germans, it just that its our’s!)
    routemaster - death trap, i wonder how many people fell of the back trying to catch it up?!
    Spitfire - erm… death trap… should have had missiles on it
    Tomb raider - nerds fell in love with a 3d character… hmmm
    underground map - I like this
    world wide web - rubbish the americans control it - wankers (and i do mean that!)

    so it comes down to spitfire and underground map…

    I personally find votes like this annoying, the voting majority seems to comprise of the web-bound otter population.
