Margaret Thatcher....

I know that the woman is sick. Anyway. As she is to get a state funeral on a week day, does that mean that we in the Occupied Six will get the day off work? I mean, if anything, I wouldn't complain if I got a 'duvet day' while all the Tories wailed and sobbed. It would be quite ironic if she passed away and, say for example, Clint Eastwood died also. That would mean that we could sit up and have a few beers and then the next day stay in bed and watch re-runs od Dirty Harry etc on RTE or Channel 4. Thanks ..

To Quote Christy Moore "some great songs were written during Thatcher's Time"

Thanks - have subscribed. I remember the night she was overthrown and I recall that it was sheer drama. Expect more dissent when she pops it. A woman who was totally devoid of humour and humanity. .. I think that the four lettered 'c' word that must not be uttered in polite company was invented for her specifically ..

I'd say it's probably best to give everyone the day off. I know many who are waiting a long time for this to happen (Just like the wait for Tyrone to win an AI) and i'd say they won't be turning up for work when it does. They can then hide the fact that everyone is celebrating and claim they are mourning.

Personally, it's a non event for me. She did enough while alive for me to not let her have an effect on my life when she's dead too.

I could name ten men who, perhaps, could argue this point.

If ye Northern boys do get a day off, should her fineral be on a weekday, ye should go to work to spite her.

It makes sense.

Well said Shamrock. I remember bursting myself to get to work during the Drumcree demonstrations just to sicken the ba*tards who were blocking off the roads. Mind you I also used it as an excuse to get off home early but that's a different story

We should take a day off down here to celebrate/mourn. We did a national day of mourning for 9/11 when they didn't even do that in the states.

I think that when she pops her clogs we should have an Official GAABoard Gadderin' to celebrate/mourn(delete as appropriate) the event.

count me in, the sooner the better!

A lot of talk about her kicking the bucket of late which is not fair if you ask me. It just keeps getting my hopes up unduly.

f**king bitch.

Does nobody here think this thread is in bad taste?

Yes, she was an evil cow, but why stoop to this level?

I was actually down near Finchley at the weekend. The resemblance with the North was uncanny.
