"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 know a member of Patrick Jenkin's family, and have met him occasionally although not in the last 5 years or so.
Last time I asked (admittedly about a year ago) he was still pretty active doing this and that. If I remember rightly he'd just moved into town so as not to have to travel so much, but that was about it

I knew I had this somewhere, scanned out of her biography which I read a while back.
Posted it in the Thatcher Thread about 2 years ago.
I expect many of them are on there unless they were in disgrace at the time.

So....10 are dead and 6 are 80+.
Pym's not well, Carrington's getting on and are probably the best bet.
I thought Jenkin died years ago. Not seen Nott for a while. Prior, Edwards & Howe also.
Stevas and Hezza are still knocking about on TV.
Walker crashed his car recently which suggests he's losing his marbles...
Which leaves Thatch and Howe, her Brutus....

JOhn Nott was on tv at the time of the Falklands 25th anniversdary in the sppring and looked in good nick.My bet is on Francis Pym to go soon as hes been 'on leave' from tje HOuse of Lords for a while now which probably means hes suffering from alzheimers or dementia or something.Incidentally 2 other former members of Thatchers cabinet have died this year-Paul Channon and Lord Cockfield,though they werent in h er original cabinet of course.
I now feel ready to return to deathlist.My return will bring many hits,if the moderators let m e return

He's getting on isn't he? I know there are all sorts of reasons for crashing cars (he may have had a tipple, but then we would know about that) so I'm plumping for early Senile Dementia. Either that or he was distracted by a cat or was fumbling for a CD...

Lord Carrington's wife, Lady Iona Carrington has died.
The local paper had quite a large obituary to her... Carrington himself seems to live a VERY quiet life & now the love of his life has died.... well, I wouldn't be surprised if he is not alive come June 2010 as a result.

She died one day after Lord Carrington's 90th Birthday. Must have been one hell of a night before...

John Nott sounded in full command of memory and wits when interviewed on Today this morning.
Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

I have CDO. It's like OCD except the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be.

You add Peter Walker to the list of the dead too...

"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)

Im really sad that Solon from The Brain of Morbius has died. One of my all time fave Dr Who stories. Also sad to report the death of actor Dennis Chinnery, who played the part of the scientist Gharman in Genesis of the Daleks. http://www.doctorwho...-1926-2012.html Sad time all round for Dr Who fans 
Have you noticed that every member of Maggies cabinet who have died have died younger than she is by several years.Only 2 have lived longer than she has (so far), Lord Carrington and Lord Hailsham. I think the strain of being in her cabinet drove most of them to an early grave...

The death of Lord Stevas means that every one of Maggie Thatchers junior ministers when she was education secretary in the Heath Goverbnment has now died http://en.wikipedia....ment_1970-1974. That may be a boring fact to most of you but it does indicate the grim reaper is getting closer and closer to the old girl herself...
