Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Well she took her time didn't she?

A mainstay on the Death Pool lists since it's inception, Margaret Thatcher finally gave up the ghost last week after several years out of the public eye suffering from ill health.

Ignoring all the political stuff, my favourite story about Maggie relates to her "invention" of Mr Whippy ice cream.  A favourite pub quiz question, it's apparently a mere half truth according to the Guardian, but a fun fact anyway as she did work on the formula.

It doesn't particularly shake up the leaderboard as no fewer than 5 people had both Thatcher and the other recently deceased political leader Hugo Chavez.  It's going to take a bit of showbiz excess to give us some real action - we're still waiting on the 2013 version of Wino and Whitney.

Good luck folks!
