I can't believe that nobody has suggested John Lennon.

Now, I loved Keith Moon and the Who, but I really don't think he's as big a cultural icon as Lennon or similarly The Who, The Beatles.
I'm not even saying that I was a huge Lennon fan, but his influence on popular music was just incredible. There are others who have had a major impact (e.g., Buddy Holly, Elvis, Hendrix to name but a few), but it's hard to think of anyone who has had more (and he was British!) Moon, I'm sure, influenced many drummers with his energetic style, and he entertained many of us.
I don't see him on a British bank note!

I agree with all of that, but seeing Moon the Loon looking back at you from a bank note would make me smile every single day I saw one.
|
|
|
|
|
True.
... and one of Sandy Denny would leave me feeling sad, but then I don't see a UK bank note every day anymore!

I suggest they create a one pound coin for him - both the Canadians and the British could then have their Loonies.
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.

No idea, but my ex-boss told me that on his 40th birthday.

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.

The word "man" can be used as an antonym of "coward", so I'm not sure everyone would agree with the statement in your subject line.
|
|
|
|
|
"Man" can also be used as a synonym of "personage", which as a king he certainly was.

The Econimist[^] recently reported that Crown Prince (now King) Salman is believed to be suffering from Alzheimer's and may not be capable of doing the job. Interesting times.

I was about to post a graphic video of a public beheading in said coutry as a response. It'll be hard to react non-politically.

Long time back, I have used shortcuts bar[^] in Windows XP. Currently I use Windows 8.1 & looking for similar option(any FREE utilities?) to clean my desktop which has around 100 short-cuts. I tried to create similar thing is Windows 8.1 but it's impossible & found the same details in web. I hate those tiles. Is it possible to create customized floating tiles group?
In my old laptop I had Windows 7 & found one free utility in web similar to that but I forgot the name of that utility. That's really a simple utility. All you have to do is just drag & drop the short-cuts over that tool-bar. That utility has options to create groups to classify the short-cuts. And it displayed Hard-drives' Used & Free spaces. Also floating one.
Any clue? And please recommend your favorites too.
