The old man of parliament has died aged 89.

I thought he was already dead. Never mind he had a good innings.

Nice to see you have your finger on the political pulse.

Fair enough.  I am a bit of a political animal, so I guess I am particularly up on those matters.  Didn't mean to have a dig.

Not sure, just old and frail I think.

I remember saying when Jim Callaghan died 'it'll be Heath next'. I was right! Still, seeing as he was 89 it wasn't exactly a pyschic flash...

Perhaps I should put a few quid on Maggie to go next!

That's what I thought this morning. I thought Maggie'll be next. I bet she's hanging on for dear life though. Fiercely determined not to go!

Like in 1990, her last words in office were: 'I fight on, I fight to win'.

Yeah, whatever.
