Margaret Thatcher, R.I.P.?

[Montreal Wanderer]

It did occur to me while Amanda Thatcher was reading today that I would be happy to discuss her grandmother's legacy over a coffee with her.

Really? Does nowt for me. Looks like a less fit version of Billie Piper.

Each to their own I guess.

And you are over twice her age, no?!

Apparently, dating laws state that the youngest you can go is half your age plus 7. I can now hear lots of frantic mental maths going on.

Well that rules her out for me too. Hmmm.

Something is wrong if a 26 year old can't date a 19 year old, but if he waits two years he's fine.

Unless I'm missing something the main thing wrong here is your maths........

Well, let's see Einstein. If you are 26 half your age plus 7 is 13+7 equals 20. Therefore you cannot date a 19 year old.
However, in two years time you will be 28 and she will be 21. 14 + 7 is 21, so you can date her. How hard is that?

Yes but what when you're 27?

(the other "Einstein" can only divide even numbers by two )

13.5 + 7 = 20.5. She will be twenty and still too young. That is why I said two years (not because I cannot divide odd number your bishiness). God this is hard.

I just worked out that I'm still on for Penelope Cruz...

I wonder if she knows?

The biggest question is does GtE know?

[TANGODANCER]

I'm claiming exclusive rights to Sophie Marceau and Audrey Tautou, and to hell with the age differences.

I may have to use my superior youthfulness to challenge you on Audrey. She be mine

[Prufrock]

Yeah, well fcuk you both. I definitely qualify.

It makes me happy a)that this thread has gone in this direction, and b)that it was Tory Boy who started it!

So the Cabinet Office has published the costs for Thatcher's funeral: £1.6m, over two thirds of which was on security and policing. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cost ... rs-funeral" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

OK, so what's happened to the other £8.4m ?

Can I assume that those outraged by the £10m claimed to be being spent will now no longer be outraged .... or at least only 16% as outraged. Or will they admit that the cost, much as it was what was used to jusify their ire, was in fact not what they objected to at all ?

I'm sure they will as long as mummy now gives his support for the same treatment for Tony Blair...

It will be replicated for Tony Blair ... unless he declines it, which I doubt.

Oh, and don't even look in Jamie Lee's direction. She's long been exclusively mine.
