maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted August 12, 2005 So laid back I can't see a sudden death related to a damaged heart a la Robin Cook. Maybe he'll die after being savaged by a sheep! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted August 12, 2005 Does anybody know his d.o.b? Ta Don't know about a date of birth; date of discovery was 17 February 1788 if that helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 11, 2015 Anyone else think he looks like a stick of extra-white vanilla candy floss which has just spotted itself in a mirror and is completely shocked/flummoxed by the sight? Maybe he'll die after being savaged by a sheep! Classic..................but yeah I think that would be great actually. Depends if he spends any time doddering around in the country(side) of his birth I guess.(p.s. merge this into the Political thread and I'll savage you. Lee Harvey Oswald would have his own thread if he was still alive wouldn't he?...... or, yknow, substitute an actual genuine assassin into that analogy if you want) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,014 Posted October 10, 2015 Heard Geoffrey Howe on Radio 4's Today programme this morning, talking about the economic crisis. I must say, he sounded a bit frail, in a sort of Enoch Powell on his last legs sort of way. If you could imagine his (once) familiar dulcet tones, but several semitones higher... One to watch... Dead of a heart attack at 88. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34495827 7 DDP Teams have been wondering Howe long, Howe long... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,421 Posted October 10, 2015 Nigel Lawson must be bricking it... He was on Newsnight the other night and looked in fairly decent nick for someone who was alleged to be gravely ill. I suspect chinese whispers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Dead of a heart attack at 88. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34495827 That's quite a miss. Did he have any health trouble?

Sean 6,309 Posted October 10, 2015 I blame the casual politics guy.Two deaths in a week after appearing on his show!Well Howe`s death leaves the following disntictions to other Octogenarian politicians. -Oldest Living and earliest Serving Chancellor:Nigel Lawson -Oldest Living Deputy Prime Minister :Michael Heseltine -Oldest Living and earliest seving shadow Chancellor:Roy Hattersley -Oldest Living Leader of the House of Commons :Jim Prior. His death also means only three members of Heath`s cabinet are still breathing :Peter Carrington,Patrick Jenkin and Jim Prior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
