Are we guilty of thoughtcrime?

I've just thought of Brian Johnson, the jolly cricket commentator. Never seemed to have a bad word about anybody.

As for the names already mentioned, would have to agree with a lot of the Carry On actors as well as Dave Allen.

I would also add:

Alec Guinness
Peter Sellers
George Best
Steve McQueen

Nice to see a lot of Brits being mentioned.

Douglas Adams, funny and compassionate guy.
Colin McRae, more tragic as his son and friend were also killed IIRC.

I would add Kurt Cobain but he wanted to die so it doesn't really count. Odd fellow, he used to drive a Volvo because they're safe yet he spent half his life injecting smack.

Stephenson, Dyson, Van de graf, are all rightly famous , and have a machine named after them.

Johnny Cash is the only person in history to have two machines names after him
