Slave to the Grave 26 Posted December 10, 2006 I've been trying to vote for the very athletic Charlton Heston, but I keep getting an error message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted December 10, 2006 I've been trying to vote for the very athletic Charlton Heston, but I keep getting an error message. Sorry Hein, I forgot to answer the first question. I have now voted for Charlton, not quite as athletic as he used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted December 10, 2006 Had to go for Maggie Thatcher, bless her. If she goes to Pinochet's funeral, or if she doesn't, there will be a lot of media speculation over it and I don't think the old girl is up for it. And then there would be just two Prime Ministers alive - Thatcher and Major. That hasn't happened for some time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time would have been in in 1947 when Stanley Baldwin died, leaving just Atlee and Churchill. Before that, after the death of Lloyd George in 1945 when Baldwin and Churchill were the two. Not long ago that is was a lot more. In 1986 we had Maggie, Ted Heath, Jim Callaghan, Harold Wilson, Harold Macmillan and Sir Alec Douglas-Home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,217 Posted December 10, 2006 And then there would be just two Prime Ministers alive - Thatcher and Major. Ahem.. much as it pains me to say it... Tony Blair is still alive. Also, Lord Carrington is still alive. He would be Maggie's last friend now I imagine. Anyway, I voted no more hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted December 10, 2006 And then there would be just two Prime Ministers alive - Thatcher and Major. Ahem.. much as it pains me to say it... Tony Blair is still alive. Whoops!

Octopus of Odstock 2,217 Posted December 10, 2006 That's what I thought, but you didn't actually mention her passing. You just said if she wasn't up to travelling to Chile, then there would only be two left, with the one deceased as Blair. Unless.. of course! You meant Bliar goes for the funeral and hmm.....

Lothar_The_Lurker 1 Posted December 10, 2006 I voted for Maggie. So many of her friends died this year, I think it's time she joins them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted December 10, 2006 I voted for 12, the dozen being complete with Charles Lane. I was considering voting for Heston, but I always do that and I'm always wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 10, 2006 I think it's over and out for DL this year. Mind you, I said that about the tenth hit... Exactly a year after DL's final hit of 2005, Richard Pryor. Does it really seem like a year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted December 10, 2006 No, that's it for this year I think. Although possibly, just ever so slightly, I think we might get a hit on Boxing Day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted December 11, 2006 I doubt that we will get another hit for this year, however, if we do have another hit, my vote is for Claude Levi-Strauss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
