New Faces - For the new £50

[Alberon]

Sourfaced Cunt of Death will still be on the front but the Bank of England is looking for a deceased scientist for the back of the new £50 note.

On the 800 long list and eligible are...

British film comedian Will Hay?



Fast legged bloke Roger Bannister?



Demon Prime Minister herself Margaret Thatcher?



Sorry, I mean...



The actual reason all of them are on the longlist is because of a scientist connection. Will Hay was a respected amateur astronomer, Bannister practised medicine in the field of neurology, and Thatcher was a complete bastard helped invent soft scoop ice cream.

They are all likely to be whittled away as the list is shortened. International Gurning champion Stephen Hawking is probably to recently dead to get it, and maybe a little too white and male as well.



So who's dead, British, a scientist and deserves to be on the back of this new plastic £50?

Science does not equal magic, you naughty person!

[MoonDust]

The back of the Queen's head.

[Shit Good Nose]

Sorry - my own mention of Majeika sent me down a rabbit hole.

Also I know Stanley Baxter and Geoffrey Durham aren't dead.

[MoonDust]

As a side note* how come the Queen's visage only ages on the coins? She's forever young on the notes. Like a reverse Dorian Gray.

Grinning.

The £50 note shouldn't have anyone on it at all. just a Periodic Table or some basic science facts to educate people.

[Blue Jam]

Les Dennis.

Nah, he's not dead. Surely you meant Cheggers?

[im barry bethel]

I'd like to see Flemming for his contribution to people not dying. Tim Bernie Winters is a bit too recent so Alun Turing should be in with a shout or go retro and resurrect Newton from green paper anonymity

[Shit Good Nose]

Savile, but specifically that photo where he's grinning with a big cigar between his teeth and the look in his eyes that says "I know that you don't know"

[Shit Good Nose]

Brian Cox.  But the actor, just to piss the other one off

[MoonDust]

just a Periodic Table or some basic science facts to educate people.

"Most shops will refuse to accept this note. Or at best, will be received with a huff."

[Shit Good Nose]

(this is all blatantly because my knowledge of dead British scientists is zilch)

I think it should just list all the places that won't accept it.

They'll only allow black disabled lesbian transsexuals, just like there are on all of the other notes and coins #youcouldntmakeitup

And what happens when the boffins discover Southend on Sea-nium eh?, it'd be like when the CoD got given a NoNo hair remover and all those £5 coins had to be junked because she no longer had upper lip peach fuzz

[drummersaredeaf]

I think it should just list all the places that won't accept it.

France
Belgium
Canada
etc

Prince Charles. When Queen dies, you just turn the note over and the same criterion applies.
