Personally I have no idea.

Perhaps someone else might.

I'll show you all the national, and local press cuttings, regarding his 'adventures' in Thailand.

Ah, well may I apologise? I always thought the room under the stairs was the forum bogs, (note to self, stop pm-ing mick about the lack of toilet paper and that the white bucket in the corner won't flush).

I suddenly feel quite sick.

I thought those spotting marks were down to aging, on some of the older archived material, and have been trying to gently remove them with a wet hanky.

It was or could be a threat, to our ships and lads. Why don't we ask those fortunate enough to have survived the HMS Sheffield attack? Or maybe Simon Weston?

I don't think it matters which way it was sailing ... but it did sink in the right direction.

And it sure as hell didn't suddenly do an about turn and cause our troops any problems, war is war, end of.

Very good point Margaret!

Her boom times came out of the cheap selling off of North Sea Oil and Gas that funded the privatisation of utilities.

Just like Gordon Brown sold off the gold - cheap!

Whatever anyone has to say about her...she had the cojones to stand up for Britain against the EU....something that today's politicians are afraid to do.

She is a frail old lady and it cannot be moral to make her death a cause for a celebration...and anyone who does this is a lesser human for doing so. She has family who love her....and this story must cause them great unease.

Ya Margaret, but it does show what kind of people that are prepared to do that really are, these are the people that bang on about ethics and doing the right thing, no wonder the likes of Bob Crow are a laughing stock

Even if you detested her policies, which I certainly did, it has to be noted that for nearly a quarter of a century she's kept her gob shut, since the Tories decided to oust her as their leader.

One of the few things I do remember her saying since leaving politics was that she saw Tony Blair as her natural successor.

I think the history books will look back at the leadership of the Tory party, and decide she really was a great big and meaty bollock filling, on a rather grey, and stale sandwich, considering who came both before, and after her.
