One great sporting moment for me is Jonah Lomu's effort against England in the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
What?!? Everyone's heard of Babe Ruth. Everyone. Each and every one of the Earth's 6 billion people can tell you who he is. The only people who have ever heard of Jonah Lomu are you and his mother.

1 said: the name of your newborn?

19 said: fecked if I know/feck off (... not sure if I should combine those ...)

5 said: the cute pig that talked in that Aussie movie

Icon??
