Sorry Beasty. I just couldn't resist! The temptation was too much for me to bear!

Best what? Fantastic cheater and a good cyclist.

If he (his contemporaries too) didn't take drugs and he raced more than once a year maybe we could get to grips with the question.;) As is, he's little more than the latest in a long line of frauds.

Who is this Lance Armstrong I'm hearing so much about these days? Some triathlete I bet!

I tell you what Lusk Doyle - I'll promise to vote for your re-election next year if you can get more boardsies to vote in this poll that the other one...

BTW, I never said it was the "best" we ever had;)

EDIT - and also I never asked for it buffalo did

My personal favourite poll was the "Is the Lance Armstrong poll the best we've had" poll. That was the best poll ever.

We should have a poll to see if it is the best. :pac:

Can you do a search for all the others (only need the top 25 - can't have more than that in a poll)? Then you can do your own poll.

Alas this one has so far attracted less than 4% of the interest that the Armstrong one has (and only just over 10% of the McQuaid one), so is arguably would well behind if there was a poll...

Actually, this would be my top 5 list:

Enough is Enough - Lance Armstrong (1005 votes and counting)
Is it time fo Pat to go (366 votes and counting)
Do you wear a helmet (289 votes)
fed up as cyclists as public enemy #1 (135 votes)
Jersey designs 2010 (126 votes)

It's almost certainly the best meta-poll. Apart from this one maybe:

Why not have a poll which asks turkeys their opinion of Christmas?
