Thatcher is dead

my boss was in earlier, he looked at his computer and said "Margaret thatcher's died! It's a shame, but I wasn't a fan of hers". And that was that :D
 
"One important development in the 20th century was the introduction of soft ice cream. A chemical research team in Britain (of which a young Margaret Thatcher was a member)[21][22] discovered a method of doubling the amount of air in ice cream, which allowed manufacturers to use less ingredients, thereby reducing costs. It made possible the soft ice cream machine in which a cone is filled beneath a spigot on order. In the United States, Dairy Queen, Carvel, and Tastee-Freez pioneered in establishing chains of soft-serve ice cream outlets."

How apt, she helped invent a method to sell people less icecream for the same or greater amount of money.
 
Where can one download "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" so that it counts in the hit parade, or whatever it's called nowadays?

i think this may be an urban myth as the notes 21 & 22 which the article relies on for that either don't mention her (21) or link to a 404 (22). although yes i have heard this before and i would like someone to offer substantiation so i can believe it,

At this stage I don't care if it's true - but cheers anyway.

The Mr Whippy boycot actually began because the hairstyle of Douglas Hurd, one of Thatcher's most loyal cabinet members, exactly resembled the ice cream. Thatch-hatred resulted in a gradual morphing of the story to make her more directly responsible.
 
ffs, if I wasn't so ill I'd go down the pub & get pissed. Fingers crossed I'm well for the bricking of the hearse.
Same here. I had to go home sick at dinner time and now they'll think I'm skiving off to join a party. Truth is I don't feel well enough to get off the sofa.
