Winston Churchill… ..Should also mention his greatest quote 'I, my dear, maybe drunk, but you are ugly…and i will be sober in the morning'. Genius.

I also like the one where he was in a public toilet and left without washing his hands, someone said to him 'At Eaton they taught us to wash our hands when have been to the toilet.'
He replied 'At Harrow they taught us not to piss on our hands.'

My vote is for Newton (and not becasue I happen to have attended his old school) Although he was a bit of a nutter, an alchemist amongst other things and one of his experiments with light involved sticking needles into his own eye!

My mum. end of thread. she's not dead yet tho…

The only reason alchemy sounds nutty to us is because Newton started the way of thinking that we now call science. There was nothing nutty about it 400 years ago.

Alan Turing & Harold Keen might well have lost the last war without them

Greatest Briton? Him innit:

Harry Hill?
