Yes. Twice.

:applaud:

I stress the rest are all very well known...

Is three Wham? :huh:

Well, 38 is Trotsky?

32 is deffo Rasputin :)

erm, is 30 the Russian Revolution? erm...the royal family..? :ohdear:

6.Michael Colins, (probably wrong)
13. refers to the Attempt on Hilter.
18, guessing at burrough's wife being shot.
20 Abe Lincoln.
32, Rasputin.

Gaz, good try, but it's a bit more literal than that.
BK, yes. Technically an ice axe, but I included a few references to popular songs to appeal to the younglings. Even though they've probably never heard of Wham! or The Stranglers.
:ohdear:

I already got that :P

32, was John Lennons killer.
38 was Trotsky
39 dick Turpin.

Give us younglings some credit! I recognised the line from No More Heroes but, stupidly, my brain failed to put two and two together :ohdear:

14 = Jesse James.

I thought 33 might be John Hinckley, but he didn't actually kill Reagan...
31 John Lennon?

Don't think I know anymore.

Is Pasolini in there?

Is 20 Abe?

Excellent stuff, Twinz2z.

18 was wrong - but you're on a roll.
Technically Joan may have been wearing a polka dot dress, who knows?

32 to Gaz.

30 to BK, even though he was a bit vague.


:applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

7 = King James I of England?
8 = attempt on Gerald Ford

32. Hopelessly wrong. But if it had been up to me how he died...
38. You just got beaten on this one, sorry.
39. Not actually sure what happened to Dick, this is one of the few that's not from the modern era...

Yes. Well done. And he was basically let off and went round circuses charging people to have their photo with him; "The man who shot Jesse James."
Twot.
Where were we?

7. No.
8. Yes.

I didn't say they were all successful...

15 could be Lee H Oswald, he was a nutcase anyway but they inflated even that.
39 will be Guido Fawkes.
and when I said 32 john lennons killer I actually meant 33.

Answer my question, damnit!!

Was I right about 'ol Beardy?

15 Yes. I thought you lot would have leapt at the line from Oswald's Defence Lawyer a bit sooner.
39. No. Another earlier bloke who tried to overthrow the government. Guy was - technically - a suicide, I fink.
33. Nein. Good try. Mark C did it for Holden...

Correct. Sorry for the slow response, Gaz - my internet keeps sticking.
Bloody Richard Branson Bloody Virgin Media. :grrr:

Oh bugger, I've forgotten the number, but the "red hot poker", is that Edward II? :cry:

Yus. Bravo!

Now theres an assassination waiting to happen... :D

11. No, but I see where you're coming from.

24. Very, very close - in two ways. I shall say no more. Good call.
27. Nah mate, you fink we'd use a facking Renault?

24 Ross McWhirter

Bravo!
Anti-IRA campaign came home to haunt him.
I cheered when he died, I was only about 8 - but what a cunt, he was, eh?

39 Oliver Cromwell? No that was later silly me

My favourite assassination was Airey Neave, as it taught me about mercury...the liquid metal, not the planet... -_-

.. And thats why I killed him.
Mess with my fucking Wife, would ya?

And there was that lovely footage where they broke the news to Maggot Thotchlurk live on air.
Really broke my heart to see her upset.
Do you see how it feels now, you evil fucking witch!
"Hospital cuts kill more than car bombs ever can..."

I would have thought 33 was one of the classics, in terms of reasons to try and kill someone.
Easy. Non?

33. Reagan? NON?!?

6. I thought Michael Collins...I wiki'd to check...is that cheating?

It would - technically - be cheating, but twinz2z got it two hours ago, love.
