What’s your thinking behind Obama?
Race related murder presumably?
He’s robbing a storyline from ‘24’ obviously.
I thought the illness had to be terminal or something like that? If Bill wasnt back to full health he wouldnt have been on TV last night!
Pouncing on Derek Davis, think he’s in with a shout. I’ll get 50 Cent out of there.

Mac, you can have Billo but if he dies from his last illness it won’t count and you’ll be the one crying at his funeral.
Should Michael J Fox be allowed? He caught that disease (forget its name) when he appeared on that UK chat show Parkinson. My take is that the entry is valid as long as he dies from something that’s not Michael Parkinson related.
Due to the amount of controversey I’ve caused I’ll change 2 of my choices

Looks like this evil bitch is going to pull through - commiserations to WhyOhWhy. From BBC:
Thatcher ‘set to leave hospital’
Baroness Thatcher is expected to go home from hospital later after being admitted for tests.
The 82-year-old former UK prime minister spent the night at St Thomas’ Hospital in London after falling ill at a House of Lords dinner.
Her spokesman said she felt “giddy and queasy”. However, she is now said to be feeling brighter and chatting to staff.
In 2002, Lady Thatcher had a series of minor strokes and was advised by doctors to stop making public speeches.
A spokesman for Lady Thatcher said they thought it best to take her to hospital for tests after her “legs buckled” at the end of the function.
‘A turn’
He told the BBC she had a “comfortable night” in hospital and all tests seem “quite clear”.
Lady Thatcher is expected to see a consultant again at lunchtime and should be released this afternoon.
A Conservative Party spokeswoman said of Lady Thatcher’s hospital admission on Friday: “We have been in touch with her office and we wish her well.”
Charles Moore, former editor of the Daily Telegraph and a biographer of Lady Thatcher, said people close to her were “optimistic” about her condition.
He told BBC News: “Things are not too bad.”
He added: "I’ve just spoken to some people close to her and I think what seems to have happened, Lady Thatcher is susceptible to heat and it sometimes gives her - and it does sometimes with old people - a turn.
“I think that’s what’s happened but obviously there is always some concern with someone that age.”
‘Conviction politician’
The Tory peer’s strokes have affected her short-term memory, according to friends, but she continues to fulfil a number of public engagements.
She last appeared in public three weeks ago when she opened a new infirmary for Chelsea pensioners.
In January, Lady Thatcher was presented with a lifetime achievement award by David Cameron at a ceremony in London.
The current Conservative leader described her as a “towering figure” who had “transformed our country”.
She also won praise from Prime Minister Gordon Brown during a high-profile visit to Downing Street last year. Labour’s long-time foe was, he said, a “conviction politician”.
It was a visit that led Tory MPs to accuse Mr Brown of hypocrisy.
Lady Thatcher lives in Belgravia, central London. Her husband, Sir Denis Thatcher, died in June 2003, aged 88.
She was prime minister for 11 years before resigning, under pressure from her party, in 1990.

Race/policy related presidential candidate assassination. Bobby K, Martin Luther, JFK style thingy. Lots of people might want him dead. I’m just at the back of a long queue.
Another death but no points on here.
Captain Birdseye actor John Hewer has died. Cod rest his sole.
Police have said there was nothing fishy about his demise.
That ad always brought a ray of sunshine to my day.
Sick fookers…
Plenty more fish in the sea for future adverts
Due to my up-standing morals, i will be making a point of not entering this “competition”… However i will add that if i was to do so, i’d be selecting a list compiled of aging wrestlers and high profile dublin based “career criminals”… So now ye know.
The guy who directed the Englsih Patient died yesterday as well. He was so famous that I can’t think of his name.
As did the guy who wrote the book 2001: A Space Odyssey who’s name escapes me as well.
The author of 2001: A Space Odyssey is (Sir) Arthur C. Clarke.
As for the other lad, shite film so I couldn’t care less.
Anthony Minghella or something weird like that. I was reading about his death yesterday and the report didn’t mention a cause. I was actually wondering what it was?
Brain haemorrhage after an operation
Complications after an operation I think was the term given.
Sounds dodgy to me - as in the hospital could have fooked up.
A teacher in my secondary school died a few years ago. He was having a by-pass operation and the surgeon apparently tipped his heart with a needle and he bleed to death. Crazy stuff.
Fooks sake, not bad enough we have to put up with Farmer’s moral protest, we now have the Dunph on his side aswell.
