Thatchers 80th birthday celebration he attended but not on foot
it was in a wheel chair since as they describe "His extreme old age"
confined him too one.
Looks promising.
And I think I can get use - to seeing Margaret Thatcher's name hanging on spot 36...

He had a very well-known affair in the 1960s with a lass called Christine Keeler. and was the instigator of British political scandal.

How about some reality tv show reunites the pair of them for one final shag? What harm could it do now? Great tv and the aftermath would probably give us a fatality in the top 50.

Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

Good luck with the tag line. Since he was known as 'Jack' rather than 'John', how about "Jack in a box!"
"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)

TF, Is that a clever pun on the fact that his wife was the actress Valerie Hobson, who starred with John Mills in "Great Expectations", or am I giving you undue credit?
