[edit] Big revert, 19:24, 24 Jun 2005

I reverted the major additions by A.K.A.47 and 213.122.92.235. The latter's additions, though worthy enough in themselves, more-or-less repeated what was already in the article, but in a less encyclopaedic -- especially Wikipedic -- style. A.K.A.47 just added a link that was already there and an amusing though not very important anecdote. --Lancevortex 18:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eh?

What on earth -

"He also consumes nothing but Lucozade, which may explain why he cannot be killed by conventional means."

[edit] Racism

Just to add to the whole racist theme... he once said,

“I can’t understand why there is such a population problem in China as they have the best contraception going — Chinese women are the ugliest in the world.”

see - http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005032307,00.html

...and that's why it's already in the article. It's useful to read the article before suggesting additions. --Lancevortex 14:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

That was actually written in his autobiography, so the article stating January 2005 is factually incorrect as I read this in his book years before.

[edit] Big Ron

These negative statements about him really need to be sourced. I've left them in for now, and I can remember most of them myself. Can someone with the time and inclination go through and source them, please? --Guinnog 20:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The 'Ronglish' Section

Would you say that 'Ronglish' terms are really appropiate in an encyclopedic article, and perhaps a passing reference to the term 'Ronglish', referenced with the List of Ronglish terms on a different site would be better? 90.242.19.51 15:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
