0) People with no money are eager for change.
1) People with money are resistent to change.
2) Therefore money == resistence
3) "Resistence is useless." -- The Vogon Guard
4) Ergo, money is useless.

... Are too be released next year (just saw a bit on it on the breakfast news) - they are polymer rather than paper, at long last.
But they haven't decided who to show on the back of them all yet, so: who would you have? The only criteria is that they must be famous, and dead.
I'm voting for Justin Bieber. Only one thing we have to do first... : InnocentWhistleSmiley:

I would like to see my favourite famous dead British guy: Dave Allen! 
But then I guess ten quid would only be worth nine and a half...

Dave Allen was not British - he was Irish

You're right, my bad! But he WAS funny all the same... 
I stand corrected (and sit likewise)!

Brunel is certainly a good choice. I would add explorers such as James Cook, and scientists such as James Watt. Dead politicians and scribblers need not apply!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

While I agree with you in general, I could think of an exception for that specific politician in your sig.
If for no other reason the plethora of brilliant quotes he produced.

Winston Churchill was a statesman, not a politician. The difference between them is that a politician thinks of the next election (and the hell with the next generation), while a statesman thinks of the next generation, even at the cost of the next election.
I could give numerous examples both past and present, but that would be trespassing on Soapbox territory...

That would indeed be an interesting discussion, but I wouldn't have anything to add to it. I fully agree with you.

Well he certainly showed his mistress some fibre.

Yes...
I conveniently forgot about that in order to perpetuate my black and white view of the world.

I'll be running off in the UK to grab a Jane Austen banknote (5 £ if I'm not wrong). My GF does like Jane Austen a lot, I can't even count how many editions both in English and in Italian of her novel we (she) possess

I think that Churchill has been lined up for the fiver
|
|
|
|

Bing-ing it up (no Google in this company) it looks like she'd have the 10£ in fact.

Surely, Piers Morgan would fit into that category as well???
But seriously, if Shakespeare isn't on one of them, I would be really disappointed...
