One of the last surviving members of Harold Wilsons cabinet Lord Richard Marsh has died at 83
Er, the link you posted is only available to paying subscribers of The Times! :banghead:
.Rupert Murdoch will curs e e for tdoing this but heres the article in full...

[Obit snipped for brevity]

Lord Marsh, Labour MP for Greenwich 1959-71, and chairman of British Rail 1971-76, was born on March 14, 1928. He died on July 29, 2011, aged 83

Think he's got slightly bigger issues to worry about right now. He certainly won't offer you a job as a proofreader

I don't know how Murdoch and his companies feel about copyright infringement, but I don't think we'll be sued anytime soon. Should, however, the Boss recieve nasty emails from company lawyers, I suppose the obit goes the way of all bits.

 

That said, this post was by far the most literate one notaguest wrote.

 

regards,

Hein

I could have sworn the fact that Canada's leader of the opposition had more different cancers than he's had hot Tim Hortons had been mentioned on here, but apparently. Anyway, Jack Layton is dead so any of you who were keeping that under your hat for next year's DDP, too late.

Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin (b. 1926)

 

Rumours are circulating that Jiang Zemin has died. Being China, I wouldn't expect much clarification either way for some conseiderable time.

 

'Frail', but alive.
