K is for Kevin Smith

He's directed a whole handful of entertaining films, my favourite of which was 'Clerks' back in 1994. You may know him as Silent Bob.
Clerks 2 is out this year, aaaayyyyaaaarrrr can't wait.

As a comic Geek, I happen to know that Kevin smith managed a feat few other writers have, he brought a hero back from the dead, and I mean the whole comic book not just the character.

To say the least its been over 3 years and Green Arrow still going strong.

ok thats my addition

Lance Armstrong.  He beat a life threatening illness.  Most people didn't think he would survive.   He not only survived but then went on to win the toughest bike race in the world 7 years on the trot.

Paula Radcliff .  Winner of all the marathons she has ever raced, apart from the Olympic marathon in 2004.

It has been brought to my attention by Poppet, that I have made a mistake here.

I am very sorry and P should now be Poppet rather than Paula Radcliffe..

My original post was composed while under a large amount of stress.  I can only appologize for my error and hope I am forgiven.

Well done again with the Uni acceptance and the cash in the tournie.

Sorry, we were at D when I started this.

Douglas Bader. He was a fighter pilot during WW2.

 After a crash in 1931, he lost both his legs. Despite this he was still able to fly and was vital to the RAF's success in WW2.

During WW2, Bader shot down 23 German planes. This figure still makes him the 5th highest on record for the RAF.

He was captured by German forces in 1941. Bader was hit by an anti aircraft cannon and became trapped after one of his prosthetic legs became jammed in the aircraft. Eventually he was able to escape the burning plane.

Bader was held as a prisoner of war. He was held in high esteem by the German airforce as well as the British.

Bader's German counterpart, Adolf Galland arranged for new prosthetic legs to be dropped by the Royal Airforce. This shows how highly he was regarded.

While being held P.O.W, Bader made many attempted escapes. He was held in Colditz for a short period of time. In an attempt to prevent Bader from continuing with his escape plans, German guards threatened to take away his legs.

After returning to the UK at the end of the war, Bader remained in the RAF.

In 1945, Bader then led 300 RAF planes over London to celebrate the end of the war and the lives cost in protecting our country.

After retirement, Bader went on to achieve a Golf handicap in the low figures.

For me, this guy is a true hero.  We owe guys like this everything.

 

Sorry to piss on your chips mate, but Bader was an arrogant , obnoxious man who was despised by his fellow Colditz prisoners.

and he didn't have a leg to stand on
