RIP Sir Sean. And one of the rare few whose film dialogue inspired a website and meme [1] www.yourethemannowdog.com

Great old school macho screen presence; still a heart throb well into advanced years.

Defined Bond on and off the screen - Bond's Scottish origins are allegedly due to Ian Fleming seeing his portrayal and adding them in subsequently.

I will be forced to modify my long running bad joke: "How did Sir Sean Connery use to shave? CTRL+Sh!". Rest in peace, sir.

I don't think that I get it. Could you explain?

His accent means that he pronounces 'S' as 'Sh':

Save -> Ctrl+S

Shave -> Ctrl+Sh
