I have two. The first is my brother, i'm not sure why as I never see him much and dont actually know him very well but as a kid I always wanted to be like him and i still admire him. Although admitting that is a definate no no.

The second is Ewan McGregor. Growing up in a hick town like mine (we dont even have a video store!!!) where most of my friends are now pregnant for the second or third time and still living here. I always wanted more and never thought i could do it. Where does Ewan come into it, well its inspiring to know that someone from an equally hick town like mine has made something of themselves.

I have a couple. One is Tony Hawk he is just a legend. And also Dave mustiane, not just for being an amzing guitarist but for alos overcoming major drug addiction and still being amazing.

Mine is and always has been a Second World War POW at Colditz Castle, Lt Mike Sinclair.

Since no-one here is likely to have heard of him, here's a link -

It really doesn't do justice to the man's determination and cold-blooded courage (particularly in describing his last attempt as suicidal when it was a calculated gamble) but it's the best online summary I can find.
