PM overtakes Becks as dullest speaker

Thanks to Georgia Kennedy of Western Australia for passing this one on. I knew it, but never knew everyone else agreed.

A new poll rates Gordon Brown as Britain's most boring speaker, ahead of footballer David Beckham and actress Kate Winslet.

Brown's "cerebral style" placed him ahead of Beckham. Brown once used the phrase "post neo-classical endogenous growth theory" in a speech.

The phrase he should try is "I'm fucking useless and I'm leaving". His ratings would shoot up instantly.

The real difference between the Great Lying Haggis and Becks is a) Becks is good at what he does and b) he's a nice guy.
