Dr Strangelove 14 Posted October 14, 2005 A lot of people die within 6 months of a birthday. That one probably won't go over well. Around 50% of people, I'll bet. ...and the other 50% are immortal. (Here's hoping she comes into the first category. ) I must have misread it as "6 months after a birthday". Well spotted Captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted October 15, 2005 I seem to remember something similar in the P.Moore thread. Some guest said 'hes gone', deathlisters contended it, the guest then came back and said 'I meant he's gone to bed for the night'. Worst joke ever.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted October 15, 2005 I'm hoping she lives till 120. By then, hopefully 'Thatcherism' would have been overturned, her legacy destroyed and her reputation diminished. If she dies in the near future, I'll have to lock myself in a room for the next few weeks untill the coast is clear and all the platitudes would have died down. Alas, the latter is more likely to happen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josco 49 Posted October 17, 2005 Sorry if there is any confusion chaps, but I merged this topic (MT's state funeral) with the existing Thatcher one. Pointless having two topics about the same bod. Why does Thatcher engender such total vitriol, much of it from persons too young to understand what the issues were when she came to power. I suspect most of it is fashionable and 'peer pressure'.

I suspect most of it is fashionable and 'peer pressure'. My vitriol is based on experience, being old enough to remember when the old bag was in power.

Windsor 2,233 Posted October 17, 2005 I can't see this happening. You have to be well liked and respected or Royal for a State funeral and she's neither. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted October 17, 2005 the Queen wants old Maggie to have a state funeral when she passes on..im curious why the subject is being raised right now?Is she closer to the end than we can imagine? as much as many of you would like to see her die soon, I just wanted to point out one small segment of the article: "Funerals for public figures are steeped in tradition and precedent. The royal household, Whitehall, the emergency services and local authorities spend years drawing up plans." which means (bad news) she's expected to live a little while longer and (good news) her mind will deteriorate, making her, more or less, a demented zombie by life's end - slow and torturous. Now what would you rather have, a quick painless death for her, or a slow, drawn out torture? You can still go to the pub and drink to her lost memory and elimination functions before she dies.

The Four Horsemen 26 Posted October 17, 2005 I'm rather sadly labelled one of Thatchers Children, which I'm offended at as I'm not a raging sociopath responsible for more harm than good. I think her main problems were not knowing when to stop, holding too many grudges and vendettas, and not believing in such things as society and community. And being completely barking, of course. I don't disagree to a certain extent with Josco that there were issues that had to be dealt with when she came to power, but I think she preferred to grind her opponents and enemies into the dust rather than possibly working for the greater good of the country. I guess that's my main complaint, she was in it for herself, her cronies and her supporters and bugger everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
