I am sure she would have preferred anyone else in her cabinet to join her except of course Heseltine and Lawson and of course all the living wets.

92 Today!

I blame the casual politics guy.Two deaths in a week after appearing on his show!Well Howe`s death leaves the following disntictions to other Octogenarian politicians. -Oldest Living and earliest Serving Chancellor:Nigel Lawson -Oldest Living Deputy Prime Minister :Michael Heseltine -Oldest Living and earliest seving shadow Chancellor:Roy Hattersley -Oldest Living Leader of the House of Commons :Jim Prior. His death also means only three members of Heath`s cabinet are still breathing :Peter Carrington,Patrick Jenkin and Jim Prior.

Internal bleeding and his wife seeming to suggest he is a miracle man who has beaten the odds.Certainly looks bleak!

84 Today

I know Healey was the former MP with the earliest date of election but who takes over that distinction now?
-
3 years is hell of a long time when you are 97 but when you have had has many health problems as Billy it seems like a poor bet indeed.Then again this is Evangelical Christians being delusional which they are masters at!

Yes, if she lasts the next three months, she will be a certainty for 2016. Yes, I am not sure if she ever became internationally famous - I doubt it. It is a pity, as the English love a good eccentric and we all know Jeanne is very, very eccentric. I suppose it will come down to a choice between the DL Committee balancing a near-certain hit against Jeanne's international fame level. Turns out that Jeanne once recorded a song... Cheers for this!I can`t get it out my fucking head as much as I wish I could as it is worse than hearing nails scrape a blackboard!Digital spy have covered her failing health twice in the last few years.I suppose that could be counted as making her death likely to be reported in the UK media.

The Unknown man :156 Sir Creep:124 Death Impends:123 Shaun of the Dead :106 gcreptile:99 Captain Chorizo:73 Maryportfuncity:64 Morbidkid :64 Bibliogryphon:64 Grim up North :64 Handrejka:50 Rotten Ali:50 Deathray :17 msc:15 Jiroemon Kimura:0 Updated for Boggs:Surprised she only got picked 4 times.Not many points I guess.
-
I have an update ready for Boggs but remembered she had to obit first! Only 4 teams appear to have her on her list and they are myself Sir Creep Captain Chorizo and msc if anyone else included her please notify me.I reckon the Guardian will give us the points for her!Also if I could ask you all to highlight your hits in red when they are dead that would be great as it makes it easier for me to update the scoreboard and means I can get updates out quicker.Also apologies for somehow missing off Captain Chorizo and Jiroemon Kimura off the Scoreboard last time.

If we want to fill his space with another ageing UK Politician from years past there are plenty of optionS. Peter Carrington Patrick Jenkin Geoffrey Howe Jim Prior Greville Janner Bill Rodgers David Waddington Betty Boothroyd Peter Tapsell Douglas Hurd Gerald Kaufman Shirley Williams Norman Tebbit Cecil Parkinson John Nott Dennis Skinner Nigel Lawson Roy Hattersley Michael Heseltine Tom King David Winnick Kenneth Baker All are over 80 now and highly obitable. I think that Carrington should definitely go back on next years list and that Geoffrey Howe and Greville Janner should be added as well to next years list.

oh right.Who is Brian Seville? I assumed it was a typo.
-
Who are my other 31 points for? Brian Sewell
