millwall32 114 Posted July 27, 2005 williambriggs32 Posted on Jul 26 2005, 07:56 AM ignore williambriggs32 Posted on Jul 26 2005, 07:51 AM sorry williambriggs32 Posted on Jul 26 2005, 07:44 AM ignore That's 3 posts in 12 minutes adding nothing but to your tally of posts. Come on William I know you are new round here but speaking personally I would like to read postings that have genuine substance or humour and some modicum of information not just babble. You have posted about 30 times in just a couple of days and I think that too many of them have been too ineffective. On the subject of Mrs T, I think she may hang on for a few more years. But having suffered two minor strokes another larger one is always on the cards from now on - especially under the type of stress she was under yesterday making a public appearance. An honest computer mistake I can assure you. All apologies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted July 28, 2005 Thought she looked very healthy at the funeral. staedy on her feet, supressing the grin she was entitled to , and even stopping for a chat with the vicar. I don't think she will be going any time soon. Parents died young but the only risk factors in her life are very occasional smoking and the odd "whiskey indulgence" Exactly how old were her parents when they died?

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 30, 2005 Thatcher is due to turn 80 in october.Will she make it? Probably. After all she has had two boosts this year - the death of Callaghan and the death of Heath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all she has had two boosts this year - the death of Callaghan and the death of Heath. And possibly a boost in her personal finances due to the departure of "Dear Dennis". I should certainly imagine the household gin bill has fallen significantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted August 1, 2005 word is that Maggie is fond of the old bottle herself..which may explain why she was so unsteady on her feet at Ted Heaths funeral... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted August 1, 2005 Aye, but with Maggie it is the whisky rather than the gin, or so they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadornot 12 Posted August 1, 2005 word is that Maggie is fond of the old bottle herself..which may explain why she was so unsteady on her feet at Ted Heaths funeral... well i wouldn't consider that coincidental Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy 21 Posted August 1, 2005 Could it also be because she had been partying hard for a few days beforehand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwall32 114 Posted August 1, 2005 In seriousness...I would have thought that she is notb a strong contender for DL 2006 due to the fact that she is suffering ( only currently I might add) from predominantly mental rather than physical problems. She should hang around for years yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted August 4, 2005 I think Maggie's will end up being a state funeral whether the bloody Labour government wants it or not - I reckon there'll be hundreds of thousands lining the streets Most of them armed with eggs, rotten tomatoes etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted August 5, 2005 I'd have thought Maggie would get a Ceremonial one because an enormous number of people think she did a lot of good things for the country. Obviously - not least judging by some of the recent posts - not everyone agrees and the event would no doubt have to be heavily-policed. I hope that those who don't think much of her will have the decency to allow those of us who do to pay our respects without wrecking the occasion with mayhem and violence. No chance of her getting a Ceremonial one, because an enormous amount of people think she did a lot of bad things for the country. I for one will not be causing any 'mayhem and violence' just drinking champagne, singing 'Ding Dong the Witch is Dead' and joining the queue to dance on her grave.

Err, were you alive in the '80's while she shat from a great height on the industrial and intellectual traditions of our country? I'm learing to hornpipe as we speak.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted August 7, 2005 A bad, bad woman indeed, Mrs Thatcher. I shall be buying a new pair of tackety dancing-boots specially. She started us off on the slippery slope towards moral bankruptcy from which there is now probably no escape. A woman without any human sympathy whatsoever, who fuelled by her insane prejudices inhumanely applied rigid capitalist criteria at a time when there was already great hardship. I will be very pleased to see the back of her, and will be barring no holds in my vociferous disapprobation of those who admire her shamelessly wicked deeds. The Evil that Men do and all that. Any chance she could be buried while she is still alive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
