DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted October 13, 2009 Wow, what strange things you do in Holland. Searching obscure yet living ex-heads of state. Are there no other recreational activities in Holland? I thought I might give it a go too, see if it really is a fantastic buzz. Here's a sniffter of what I came up with: Joan Martí Alanis another soon to be octagenarian and former Bishop of Urgell, thereby former co-Prince of Andorra. (Although does he come under DDT's(?) jurisdiction, being a man of the cloth?) Well, I can update you on his health. He's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't surprise me a bit that his death, after 40 years of retirement from politics and no remarkable carreer, goes unnoticed. I don't follow British politics closely, but I can name a few UK politicians, present and past. Noel-Baker wasn't among those. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WEP Posted November 18, 2009 The former Mayor of Saarbrücken (1974-1985), former prime minister of Saarland (1985-1998), candidate for federal chancellor in 1990, former chairman of the Social Democratic Party (1995-1998) and former Minister of Finance (1999), Oskar Lafontaine, has cancer. He is now co chairman of the left wing party Die Linke (since 2007), together with Gregor Gysi. Mr. Lafontaine was attacked by a mentally deranged woman in Cologne during his federal election campaign, later he was one of the promoters für the first social democratic-green government with chancellor Gerhard Schröder. He left the party in 1999. Since 2005, he is member of the left wing partyDie Linke and opponent of both, the government of Angela Merkel and the opposition of Frank-Walter Steinmeier. So Mr. Lafontaine is a former government official, a current government opponent and a pal and collaegue of Doris Lessings nephew, Gregor Gysi. Link! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does seem rather a long way to travel to get an aching back treated... Tassos Papadopoulos is now said to be suffering from lung cancer. It's breaking news. You called it Devon. More breaking news - Papadopoulos has died.. Even more breaking news. His corpse has been stolen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
