dead King Fahd Of Saudi Arabia

[BrunoBrimley 86]

I still say he was such a good man it is quite sad to see him having left us all so soon.

[Dr Strangelove 14]

What are the chances of his successor being assassinated over another more popular claim to the throne?

I believe his successor has ruled in all but name for years.

[Windsor 2,233]

after i found out king fahd of saudi arabia died i was wondering it there are any other royals who are ready to kick the bucket?

Well perhaps these figures are closest to death now that you ask :

 

1: King-Father Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia, b.1922 (suffers from cancer).

2: Malietoa Tanumafili II of Samoa, b.1913

3: Taufa'ahau Tupou II of Tonga (existing thread) b.1918

4: Former King Muhmmad Zahir Shah of Afghanistan, b.1914

 

Outsiders:

1: Major Bruce Shand (Camilla's Father), b.1917

2: Bhumibol Aduljadej, b.1927 (longest reigning living monarch in the world)

Has anyone noticed that no-one's got a clue how old these Saudi maniacs actually are? I've seen the age of the new Crown Prince given as 76, 77 and 81 so far - and that was only in the first 3 articles I read about it!

 

Sad to see such great statesmen and goat herds pass into the hereafter...but this was a bad miss

Has anyone noticed that you posted the same attack in the near misses for 2005 section? I did!

 

 

Age is a relative thing anyway so that 5 year variable probalby won't make much of a difference.

[VileBody 11]

You're a little clever-clogs! Fair cop, governor....

 

 

Age is relative to what exactly? I thought it was generally relative to knowing when you were born...

 

It just strikes me as fairly remarkable that these stone-age goat herds who happen to own most of the world (or at least SW1) don't even know their own sodding birthdates....

especially as the Arabic numeral system was about the last good thing to come out of the Middle East.....

Nothing wrong with the Arabic numeral system, it's quite easy but I did learn Arabic for 5 years so never mind.

Talking of ages, does anyone know the d.o.b of the new King or a rough guestimate? Think he's a candidate for next year!

New York Times and CNN have him as being born in 1924 so he's 81 now.

[Windsor 2,233]

I wouldn't put in the King but I would go for the New Crown Prince.

[Grim_Rita 4]

How old is he?

[Windsor 2,233]

How old is he?

(Here we go again). This article doesn't say anything on his health but there was something claiming he wasn't very healthy (sorry lost the source).

 

Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz al Saud

Has it occurred to you they may be saying the same of you windsor?

No, I'm pretty sure 99.999999999999999999999% of the human race don't give a sh*t about him.

[VileBody 11]

How old is he?

As I said yesterday - there are a range of dates attributed making the CP between 76 and 81. Anyway apparently he's a sick f*cker - probably in every sense of the word. I think he sounds a good bet for next year.

 

Can you begin to imagine what these people must get up to in private?

[Lady Die 63]

I couldn't help but notice that despite being in their 80s both Fahd & Abdullah had/have dark brown beards.

Maybe it's Maybelline?

I thought it was "Arabian 2000"

I thought it was "Arabian 2000"

Or even "Just for Arabs"

[Slave to the Grave 26]

Perhaps they use 'heir die'

[Magere Hein 1,400]

Perhaps they use 'heir die'

We can only hope.

To the world you may be a dot, but to another dot you may mean the world.
