Tartan Eagle Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Any avoidable connection for Scots in high political office or just the same old lessons for us all? John Smith 55 Charles Kennedy 55 Robin Cook 59 Donald Dewar 60 All were Scottish and members of the Labour Party at one time but I doubt that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Two heart attacks, one brain hemorrhage and one, as yet, unknown. Folk die for many, many different reasons and at various ages. I don't think there is any significant pattern in these four early deaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khana Lagur Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Two heart attacks, one brain hemorrhage and one, as yet, unknown. Folk die for many, many different reasons and at various ages. I don't think there is any significant pattern in these four early deaths. Never understood this term. As humans we don't know the date or time of our death, so how can anyone's death be classed as early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofoi Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ron Brown & Nicky Fairbairn were another two that liked a refreshment or maybe masked a guilty conscience. Allegedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 John Smith died over 20 years ago, Donald Dewar died 15 years ago, to be honest I didnt know Robin Cook was dead, but googled it and he died 10 years ago. Hardly a spate of high profile deaths. Charles Kennedy was likeable, the other 3 were c-nts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Never understood this term. As humans we don't know the date or time of our death, so how can anyone's death be classed as early? 0200 in the morning? Maybe not the best term to use but what I think I meant was folk dying younger than the average age of death, for folk born in the year that they were born. Couldnae be ersed typing out all that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
