I'm sure you know how blue I am by now, but that's one of the funniest things I've read Tribesman. :har:

I like other celeb death jokes and I'm not being hypocritical now.

I did not like her point of view, or at least what she publicly said, and did (you seldomly know what people really think, when it comes to power, and influence)
When i was in England in the 198ies it was hard to find an average english citizen who did not dislike what she did, or her. There were songs everywhere which made fun of or condemned her, one of it i remember being the 'Thatcher-snatcher'.
I am not very good in british politics though.

My mother liked her for her wardrobe, and make-up :hmm2:

RIP, and don't come back in another incarnation.

Well, from an Australian perspective we could certainly use a Margaret Thatcher-type leader to shake up and stomp the Unions. Unions here have way too much power.
But, i'm dreaming. Certainly isn't going to happen with Labour in power. Since the Unions were a design of the Australian Labour Party.

That one would be Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher - from when she removed free milk for seven to 11 year olds in the early '70s.

I remember drinking warm, clotting milk out of bottles that'd been in the playground's sun all morning :Kaleun_Sick: - I wish she'd removed it for all. It put me off drinking milk until well into my 20s, and even now it has to be ice cold or I find it repulsive.

I heard people complain about the cost of the funeral. Some grey bloke has a thing to say about that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE1qJsFV8vI

I just hope there's no trouble from the people claiming the funerals too expensive, only to cost a fortune in vandalism and the justice system.

That was all sorted. The multi millionaire tax dodging convict decided that as people who pay tax were stumping up the millions in cash for his family occasion he would throw in a few quid if there was any additional costs incurred.

You'd think he would've looked a bit happier, what with the inheritence due (I'd laugh if it all goes to cats) and the fact he's not getting banged up whilst he's banged up. :hmmm:

Well one must weigh up the future.
The Americans have been clamping down on bribery, Mid east and N. African friends are not having a very good time of it, Mann has hung him out to dry regarding anyone involved in future "charity" work, tax havens are declaring him persona non grata, the costa del crime just ain't what it used to be and now his direct access to political influence has gone.
If only he was more like his sister eh?:D

Fixed that for you. :03:

(for those who don't know just look up Carol Thatcher Tsonga on Google)

Looks like the funeral went smoothly, all things considered.

No doubt a cause of disappointment to some.
