As it says:

How do we feel about this? :confused:

Er, is it true?

[richard_pitts]

yep :wink:

[Steve-O]

yep :wink:

I'm 12 hours ahead, these jokes can no longer apply to me! :greengrin

[richard_pitts]

It is true, she's popped her clogs. Just wondered if it was acceptable to cheer? :greengrin

[steakbake]

:bye::bye: Maggie.

[richard_pitts]

I feel like I ought to celebrate, but feel a little dirty thinking that way.

I hated her politics and the effects of the likes of the Miners Strike can still be felt even now in places like Kelty and Cowdenbeath. However, after the ferocity of my views on Mercer left my yam-supporting in-laws and Jim Traynor's your call genuinely speechless :faf:I am genuinely curious as to what everyone thinks :confused:

[Tazio]

What do I think.

I think it's April fools day.

[Houchy]

I was too young to understand/know much about her politics but at the end of the day, the woman is dead.

I haven't even heard anything about this, other than on here, and yet Jade Goody gets front pages in the papers AND a commemorative magazine.
Does nobody else find this ****ed up.

Surely with ALL the emotions felt about Margaret Thatcher, she should have more coverage than someone who is famous for sitting in house for 13 weeks (or however long) and acting stupid.

[YehButNoBut]

Why is this not on the news channels.

What day is this?

[Antifa Hibs]

barstewards, had be going there, was just about to nip out for a bottle of bubbly :duck:

[richard_pitts]

Rumbled :wink: At least I got a few of you going. I wanted to see Liverpool Hibs reaction in particular as I thought we could all do with a break from the IRA thread :greengrin

Haha, why mine in particular?!

[richard_pitts]

Please tell me you didn't view the thread's title with anything but unbridled joy. I know I would have...:greengrin

Unbridled scepticism! :wink::greengrin

She died years ago.

Nowadays she only comes out during the hours of darkness and sleeps during the day in a coffin filled with guano from the Falkland Islands.

She believes that Napoleon was a pre-incarnation of HER. :greengrin

[Haymaker]

ah bugger, i had jumped up shouting yes! when i read the title :grr:

This was too good to be true, Richard - unfortunately.



On the day it happens, I intend to hold a memorial service.

We will begin by singing, "The bells of hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling....." and end with a rousing chorus of, "Happy days are here again....".

Worshippers will be invited to come up to the front to give their testimonies as to what the event we are mourning - sorry, celebrating - means to them personally. I expect it to be a tearful and emotional occasion, with much hilarity and rejoicing.


You will be very welcome to join us. :devil:

[Greentinted]

I, for one, hope that when the joyous day is eventually upon us that it will never rest in peace...

[steakbake]

I'd get me dancin' shoes on.

[richard_pitts]

I will too :devil:

I don't know if you remember but Australian TV announced the death of the Queen Mother about three years before it happened based on an internet source :faf::devil:

Unfortunately it didn't quite work in this case...:bsod:

[degenerated]

damn, i thought it was too good to be true.

i wonder if there will be the clamour for a state funeral when she does snuff it. the last non royal to have one was winston churchill so the parallels are there - where maggie used the police to quash the miners strikes winnie used the army, with bayonets fixed, to quell the miners in 1910 and the rail workers in 1911.

She's already got one secured. Which I fully support. If they have it now :devil:

the only debate we should be having about this is whether or not she's deid when they have it :greengrin
