    There's a very long list and those two would be on it, one being at the top or very, very close

    When we were approaching 2000, there was a multitude of polls published in the rags on who was the most important person of the millennium. In the one in the Mirror, Robbie Williams came higher than Johann Sebastian Bach. One **** stood near me in the boozer agreed, basing his view on the fact that there's more competition now. I nearly twatted the dense ****er, and I'm not violent. He got a full broadside though <doh>

    Mustn't forget Newton or Leibniz either .... and who did discover calculus first?

    If the power of the human mind isn't restricted to just science, then Shakespeare and Aristotle can go on the list. Aristotle actually crosses the line into science with the four causes (formal, material, efficient, and final).

    The BBC did a poll of who people thought were the greatest Britons ever.
    Here's a link to a reproduction of it.
    http://alchemipedia.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/100-greatest-britons-bbc-poll-2002.html

    Princess Diana is 3rd.
    David Beckham and Boy George are in there, as are Michael Crawford and Julie Andrews, ffs.
    Also mysteriously included are those well known Brits Bob Geldof and Bono.
    It's priceless.

    Tbh, I'm not surprised at that. I think she was Satan In A Frock myself, but lots of people apparently admired her self serving, socially divisive dark-age principles.

    It was close. independently invented, but Newton's notation was adopted, probably because he was English <whistle>

    I think most Scousers share your view saint. Most right-minded people do.

    The 'People's' Princess. Anything with that prefix is sentimental hogwash, without substance and trying to masquerade their deficiencies in a coat of drivel. Who the **** would stoop so low? :emoticon-0114-dull:
