Whitehouse 872 Posted July 15, 2015 This situation of ex chancel er Helmut Kohl is quite severe. He had hip surgery and now is suffering from complications. He entered hospital in May and is still there. This could well be anther sitting duck which we didn't enter in the list. Edit: I stand corrected. He is on the list. Move on people, nothing to see.

Imelda 621 Posted July 16, 2015 According to Twitter, Alexis Tsipras said that, whatever happens, the Greeks will still have oxygen next week, so they'll survive: https://twitter.com/NikiKitsantonis/status/614833661444259840 I wonder if someone thinks that this should not be true for Tsipras anymore... An amusing joke doing the rounds: Angela Merkel arrives in Athens airport. "Nationality?" asks the immigration officer. "German," she replies. "Occupation?" "No, just here for a few days." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted July 17, 2015 OK here it is. A list Privy Council Members who were appointed before 1980. Originally I was going to take this back 30 years but there were just too many of them. There are 39 in total including 2 women. Many of these have already been discussed previously but there are some commonwealth appointments who are new to me. Be warned one of them doesn't even qualify for his own Wiki page so obits are not guaranteed. I have listed them with their names but on Wiki they are listed under their titles which is why this list is not strictly alphabetical. Doug Anthony Peter Carrington Alun Gwynne-Jones Robert Lindsay Roger Edwards Denzil Davies Edward Du Caan John Eden Prince Philip Norman Fowler Roy Hattersley Denis Healey Michael Heseltine Terrence Higgins Geoffrey Howe David Howell Patrick Jenkin Michael Jopling Gerald Kaufman Peter Kenilorea Tom King James McKay John Morris Roland Moyle Ronald Murray John Nott Turlough O’ Donnell Sally Oppenheimer-Barnes David Owen Jim Prior James Ramsden William Rogers Robert Sheldon Ian Sinclair Michael Samare David Steel Ninian Stephen Prince Charles Shirley Williams What do you mean you have fallen asleep. I intend to get myself onto the Privy Council so I can live forever just like this lot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted July 18, 2015 Andal Ampatuan Sr., a philippine clan leader, sort of a war-lord, has died of advanced liver cancer: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/524370/news/nation/mangudadatu-on-andal-ampatuan-sr-may-he-rest-in-peace I added him to my list just two weeks ago, since they said he had about 3 to 6 months to live. His violence made it to the BBC news a couple of times.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted August 3, 2015 Edward Heath is now being discussed with respect to historic child abuse allegationsUnlikely they will connect the dots between Ted Heath's regularity of purchases of anchor chain for Morning Cloud and the times children of the Haut de la Garenne care home in Jersey went missing. P.S. Heath had 5 yachts called Morning Cloud. Conveniently Number 1 and 3 sank within 3 days of each other in 1974. Salt water and microorganism must get everywhere, shame its been 40 years, if only the other three could be found then they could be tested for traces of DNA and maybe matched to surviving parents of about 100 missing children who were sent into care and never heard of again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
