one dead Gerry Adams & Martin McGuinness

[stonecold 51]

So Gerry Adams helped the SAS set up an IRA gang for ambush in 1987... 8 dead. I wonder if he will make it through 2018 with his knee-caps, elbows, and ankles intact?

Since no dedicated Irish thread, this will do.  
Charles Whelan of Sutton, Dublin, former Irish Ambassador to Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, Japan, Greece, Israel and the former USSR, died March 28, 2018 at the age of 93.

I was in the IRA as much as I could from Murica.

 

That said, not a blip on my radar, so glad he pegged.  One less Spadeite.

Interesting photo in that article - I never knew Adams was a pipe smoker.  @Grim Up North, one for your theme team?

Shame the "Armalite and ballot box strategy" didn't extend to a decent Pipe Smoker of the Year promo campaign.

Wasn't he pipe bomber of the year at some point?

Given the lack of a random paramilitary parade thread maybe this is the place

John Hume's death brought Gerry Adams out and he's looking fine - perhaps some new dental work needed.

 

Lord Trimble less so - for someone who's had heart trouble, maybe he's our replacement thread?

[DCI Frank Burnside 3,887]

Trimble by far more likely to go before Adams for sure barring Gerry being diagnosed with a serious illness. 

[maryportfuncity 10,662]

Re the above - Adams looked extremely healthy. I mean, there are dissident republicans still highly unimpressed with anything short of a complete military victory. So, there's a random element in the long term survival of any major figure in the politics of Ulster, but Adams looked fine and the front windows of the Sinn Fein office behind him didn't feel the need of protective shutters.

Trimble sounded rough on the radio - voice rather weak - especially compared to 85 year old Brid Rogers who sounded very well.
