Bob Newhart
Amy Winehouse
Gary Coleman

Your score for each accurate guess will be 120 minus the age in full years of the deceased. If there's any conflict, I will go by the birthdate listed at IMDb. If that isn't present for some reason, I'll try to find it elsewhere.

Christ! Is Mickey Rooney still alive?

Apparently she commissioned some interior designer to immortalise her in 10 Downing St. In one of the rooms apparently, there is a representation of a "thatcher" (i.e. a bloke who thatches roofs and buildings) 'built into' the plasterwork, I think it is in one of the corners of the ceiling plaster.
And Cherie Blair did something similar with a wood carving of bees....can't remember exactly where in the house it is, presumably on a staircase..
A totally useless fact for the day, but even though they're gone, their sense of self-importance is there for generations to see...

i mean, world history class and whatnot was a couple of semesters :D  ago but i always held the notion that she was a pretty popular political figure.

The destruction of the Miners

I think in summation this is primarily what the nasty old harridan is synonymous with ,well that and the vendetta she waged against the Liverpool Dockers ,how she  irrefutably refused to deal with terrorists and would not be swayed by such intrusions such as the collapse of the North west and the mining communities she single handedly destroyed ,and lets not forget the Riots ...........yes she evokes some truly splendid memories   ???

But in her defence she was a strong old battleaxe

She privatised a lot of British companies like BT, BA, British Coal, British Rail, British Steel, etc.

She broke the unions and changed the laws governing them

She allowed council tenants to buy their house

She brought in Channel 4 and S4C

The Falklands War

She said there was no such thing as society

or:

Took many forms.

Did away with manufacturing.

Did away with the miners and trade unionists.

Stuffed money down the throats of supporters.

Privatised this and that.

Waved her handbag at Europe (very popular).

Bankrupted thousands a week in a huge recession.

Entered ERM by mistake. (Not a good deal).

We're never gonna agree, but since Labour has taken over EVERYTHING is worse. Its worse for everyone apart from the unemployed or those from other countries... I might just quit my job, find a slag and have 5 kids, id be loaded...


Maggie Thatcher though, iron fist, and great thighs  :kungfu:
