Everytime 1 goes we each move up the list to be our turn, especially when younger than me. But then you do not always realise how old people are like Geoffrey Howe.

I met Hugh Scullery once. He was in the waiting room of a Harley Street doctor, I was there to have my prostate massaged and I had to sit in the doctors surgery knocking one out with a copy of Razzle that he gave me from his top drawer.
A bizarre and painful day.
No idea what Hugh was in for.

Howe bought about the downfall of Thatcher, the biggest shame from that was that Tarzan was not voted Tory Party Leader.

Would the European row not have been even worse? Tarzan was a massive supporter of the Delors project if I remember correctly. Major had his failings, greatest among them leading the party to its worst defeat since 1832 and rail privatisation (though I appreciate you might not agree), but you have to say that he did us a huge favour with the opt out from the single currency. Michael Heseltine would almost certainly have signed us up to it. 1997 might not have been such a wipe out, though I think the public was thoroughly fed up with the Conservatives by then.
I had that experience and ended up in hospital for two weeks.
Must have been one hell of a w.ank.
It's very different to that.

I wasn't aware Hezza was in on that but to be fair to him he recognised after the 80s riots urban regeneration had to happen and did.

I, too, have not heard of Jim Diamond.
Should have known better.

Geoffrey Howe's death reminds me of just how long ago the Thatcher government ended. When he resigned (1990), my then foster brother had a German exchange student staying, whose English was asa limited as my German. I tried explaining that our equivalent of the German Foreign Minister (Hans-Dietrich Genscher) had resigned. "Genscher has resigned?" he asked me.
