The Resume

    (December 7, 1963- )
    Birth Name was Michael Edwards
    Ski Jumped for Britain in the Olympics (1988)

Why he might be annoying:

    He once paid rent to live in a mental institution, because he could not afford to pay rent anywhere else.
    He qualified for the Olympics because he was the only person from England to attempt to qualify.
    Because of his thick glasses he was known as Mr. Magoo, he hated that nickname.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Despite admitting when he looked down the ski slope, he was scared stiff, he still went about doing his jumps.
    He was the first and only Olympic Ski Jumper from Britain until 2002.
    He ski jumped for the love of the sport not for trying to win a medal, he came in dead last, scoring half the points that the person ahead of him scored.
    He was able to get Eagle Airlines to give him a five year contract that paid for all his training and expenses to compete in the Olympics.
