New Faces - For the new £50

[biggytitbo]

[Attila]

Thomas Young is my fave British scientist.

[Blumf]

Heinz Wolff inventor of the baked bean.

[KennyMonster]

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

*_{Pun very much intended.}

I literally had no idea this was a thing.

I should maybe post it in the obis or fuck my hat thread but I won't (*snigger*).

[Golden E. Pump]

Ian Brady.

[biggytitbo]

Pioneering female snooker referee Michaela Tabb should be on it, to show that a woman can reach the very pinnacle of public life. And be sexy doing it.

[Nowhere Man]

Ken Worthington - was on New Faces in 1973.

[biggytitbo]

Ian Brady.

Levi Bellfield would be a simularly left field choice. Bound to upset the snowflakes though.

[shh]

Francis Bacon is the obvious omission, Aleister Crowley maybe less so.

[MoonDust]

Will and Kate holding a new born Prince George. Except instead of Prince George it's a Greggs sausage roll. Same size as baby George though.

[Piggyoioi]

[Bazooka]

I didn't laugh honestly.

I'll pay 300 Greek drachma if someone  photo shop's a homeless Ian Beal note.

Ian Brady and Madeline McCann are NOT dead scientists like the specs demand (One of them may not even be dead). Neither are Leroy Blowfield or Greggs Sausage Roll.
So my money's on Maxwell, James Clark Maxwell, inventor of electromagnetic waves and facilitator of the modern world... I'm presuming him being Scottish and the note being Bank Of England won't be a problem.

[Piggyoioi]

Tomorrow's DailyMail are running a story that Maddie is actually alive and well as a deep undercover forensic scientist working on her own disappearance.

Not really a fan of electromagnetic waves. The world was much tidier before they started getting everywhere.

[Rolf Lundgren]

Nobody ever sees £50 notes apart from drug dealers and rogue traders so if anything it's an insult to have your face on it.

[Nowhere Man]

Dr Robotnik is a brilliant scientist

I worked in a shop on a student campus and I saw a fair number of £50 notes. I only saw them during and a bit after freshers week and oddly only from Chinese students.

It must be a common denomination handed out at Bureau de Changes.

He's moved production to Malaysia though.

The plural of bureau de change is bureaux de change.

Sorry. Carry on everyone.

[Jittlebags]

Ken Worthington - was on New Faces in 1973.

He came last though, and got a good pasting off Tony Hatch.

[Norton Canes]

I think it's only right that the new note commemorates Dr Christopher Magnus Howard 'Kit' Pedler, co-creator of the Cybermen.

[Jittlebags]

Dr. Ken Heaton for his work on Advanced Turd Studies and the invention of the Bristol Stool Scale.

[PlanktonSideburns]

Bald on the top long at the back Brian eno would look good on it, that shot of him in a wooly jumper with a cat on his lap

[Alberon]

Can anyone find out if Barry Chuckle had a PhD?

If he did we have a clear winner.

[steve98]

Too early, give it a decade.

[steve98]

Then again, there's all the great "To me to you, to me to you..." patter that'll go along with every £50 cash exchange, which won't mean much to anyone, 10 years from now

[Blinder Data]

It should be Alan Turing.

[Icehaven]

I don't care as I never see them. In fact the only time I've ever seen them was nearly 20 years ago when I had a holiday job in a supermarket, and even then it was only seeing not handling them as we weren't allowed to accept them. They remind me of that Simpsons episode with the trillion dollar note.

[Icehaven]

Tesla would be cool, or do they have to be British? If they have to British, dunno, Johnny Ball?
