one dead Gerry Adams & Martin McGuinness

[Sean 6,311]

Just been looking up his alleged condition.Apparently is the predominant cause of death and has a median survival rates in many cases that is between 3.5 months to 26 months depending on type.There is a type where life expectancy is 10 years.Still the media source saying he has 6 years or more to live is insanely optimistic.I would be astounded if he made 2018.I

If he thought he had 6 years, he wouldn't have retired. Merely taken a "short hiatus".

McGuinness dead.

[Vinegar Tits 605]

Have just posted 're McGuinness in the politics thread as I didn't know there was a dedicated thread.

[YoungWillz 21,026]

Unique hit on the DDP. Prescient...

[Youth in Asia 1,086]

He forgot the codes

[CoffinLodger 1,248]

very sad and shocking news. I know his association with the IRA was controversial but he was a vital contributor to the peace process in the end.Northern Ireland can ill afford to lose him right now

[charon 4,943]

His day has come

[torbrexbones 717]

Do we celebrate the death of a terrorist or mourn the passing of a politician?

 

I know which I am doing.

[Thatcher 2,386]

May his victims rest in peace, and may their families finally find it.

^^^ Thatch reaching out

He's pretty much Nelson Mandela if you think about it

I'm undecided as to whether to mourn his passing or celebrate it.  Peace may have been achieved but there was plenty of collateral damage

[WednesdayAddams 103]

I think he lasted well given how bad he looked during his last interview post resignation. He was stoned on morphine 3 months back.

He was on my short list, and might have made the team had my Norn Iron correspondent replied in any useful way to my email asking

"Do you know what's wrong with Martin McGuinness?"

 

Anyway he's hit no 2 on my Rotten DP.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

3/10 in the rotten DP, after Soares and Wetton. 

[Sean 6,311]

Glad he is dead.

Hopefully you will now change your avatar to something more pleasing to the eye?

Don't encourage him, Toast, last time he made it Keith Vaz!

True - he cannot be trusted.

 

I wish there was the option to hide certain avatars, like the option to hide selected signatures.

[Exu 250]

On reflection I am glad he is dead. He may have worked towards peace in recent years, but he probably involved himself in the deaths of many innocent folk and he never showed any regret for that.

He also gives me my fifth hit of the year!
