Politician of some sort and according to his Wikipedia biography on
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...

Of some sort?!

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

Christine Keeler is still alive, 63 and going strong. Although probably not for money these days!

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.

I was intrigued to know how you knew she wasn't wearing knickers. But found the answer. For interest:

Good luck with the tag line. Since he was known as 'Jack' rather than 'John', how about "Jack in a box!"
Derby Dead Pool showrunner...


"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."

I wouldn't go shopping yet. Profumo's also my second hit (and a unique pick) for my Hartleypool Deadlypool team, so there is a difference. :lol:

dya think he died of shock when he saw the outcome of his latest visit to the hairdressers? :)

(looks a bit like John Lydons dad there!)

come to think of it,given his meanderings among the female populace,maybe he WAS John Lydons dad!

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? :)
