We figured the only way to keep a nonagenarian in power was W A R L E A D E R at that point. Glad you liked it!I got a massive kick out of the many, many, many ways to keep Supermac as Ubermac even when he wanted out, I was half-expecting "the dead fluids are poured over him - MACMILLIAN, 1985 - FOREVER: Dark Judge"
The Hong Kong kick-off was very unexpected (and a nice bookend to Suez)
Also, do me a favour, as it's killing me at the moment - what is (“Captain Mountbatten is still alive” continues to be the highlight of German festive television) a reference to?
I love you so much right now.I could make a baseball joke about Macmillan being good against left-handed batters.
Basically it's a reference to players like Jesse Orosco, who has the record for most games played in by a pitcher. He started as a solid conventional relief pitcher, but lengthened his career by coming to pitch to only one or two left-handed opposing batters (who he was great against) and then being replaced again.
Ah, the infamous LOOGY.I could make a baseball joke about Macmillan being good against left-handed batters.

I believe that's a dual reference to 'General Franco is Still Alive' being repeated so regularly on Spanish news while he was ill that Private Eye has been using 'General Franco is Still Dead' on and off ever since, and Dinner for One, that slightly dull English comedy about the dinner party where the butler's pretending to be all the dead friends of his lady and getting very drunk which the Germans love and show every New Year for some reason.
I’m such a fucking hack I hate myself.
