Christa Pi, no, hang on.

Incredibly this is the second botched execution in Tennessee this year, even more incredibly its the same doctor.

Unmasked: the doctor who helps put prisoners to death

Dr Mark Fowler assisted in the failed execution of a Tennessee prisoner. Physicians are meant to heal patients - why is he working in the death chamber?

www.theguardian.com

Her legal team had argued that because she had thrombocytosis death by lethal injection was likely to fail and requested death by hanging. This was rejected and here we are.

She's now reportedly brain damaged which you would assume would rule out a future attempt. Although given the same state executed Darrell Hines earlier this year after multiple strokes maybe not.

Unbelievable.
On top of everything there will now probably be a multi million $ law suit.
That will no doubt also drag on for three decades too.

And less seriously, reminds me of an old joke.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Uncle Fred not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I suppose it’s a bit unedifying Michael Crick is doing the rounds trashing Jeffrey Archer but he was a genuine Walter Mitty character

Borderline spiv ala 1950s George Cole.

Imagine a judge saying this now

“Remember Mrs Archer in the witness box. Your vision of her probably will never disappear. Has she elegance? Has she fragrance?” Living with her, how could Archer ever be “in need of cold, unloving, rubber-insulated sex in a seedy hotel.”

English rose I think unless that was Thorpe's Mrs I'm thinking of?

Served time, it takes a considerable degree of criminality to put a prominent person in jail. He probably cheated someone much more powerful.

Fell into difficulties of his own making. Then got to work restoring his life & raising zillions for charities. A top Cambridge Athlete too.
Ran for GB. RIP Lord Archer.

Mainly because he repeatedly jumped the gun.

Were you there or just casting aspersions about the deceased?

It's been widely reported for years he did this. People who raced against him have said as such it was almost a running joke how much he jumped the gun. There was a video of him jumping the gun three times in one race and somehow not getting disqualified.

 

[rob9872]

From Wiki (I know it's not the most trustworthy, but this is in his page:

"At Oxford, Archer was successful in athletics, competing in sprinting and hurdling, and became president of the Oxford University Athletic Club in 1965–1966. His opposite number at the University of Cambridge, Wendell Mottley, became a lifelong friend.[19][6] Television coverage survives of him making false starts in a 1964 sprint race, but he was not disqualified."

Sorry I didn't know that.
I guess many sprinters as Linford used to say wanted to go on the "B of the Bang".
Jeffrey just wanted to go sooner.

Well there is some doubt he raised zillions for charities. Yes he did raise money but frequently made up the amounts. There was the £30m that "went missing" in one Red Cross appeal.

He even stole 3 suits on a shopping trip to Canada. He frequently denied any of this happened but eventually said it did but he did not know how he left the shop without paying. Same as he could not remember paying to have sex with Monica Coughlan.

As regards to Oxford he did not have a degree there. He has a one year diploma and then appeared to "hang around" for another 3 years. He failed all his A levels

He did get a Msc at a University in America. Well actually he didn't. He bought a certificate from a Body Building Club and claimed he had been - he hadn't.

Its the treatment of Coughlan that stains him for ever to me. Not just him but his revolting and definitely unfragrant wife who stood by him purely for Financial gain (including alleged insider trading when she was employed in the TV industry)

His wife gave evidence on his behalf clearly knowing what he had done. Even his claims he gave Coughlan thousands of pounds at a railway station because he felt sorry for her was believed.

As for Coughlan she says it all

"Jeffrey Archer took everything away from me. I lost my home, my dignity, my self-respect, and any hope of a future. While I was scrimping and saving, he was clawing his way his way back to power and lording it up in his manor house. It just wasn't fair, simple as that...

I told the truth. He ruined my life and it is time he admitted just what he has done. I know that going back to court will be hell... but if that is what it takes, then I am prepared to do it."

She died in a car accident just before the trial which eventually sent him down. Even then he broke open prison release conditions by skipping community order instructions to have lunch with his friends

I never got the love for Archer. He was the epitome of an Arthur Daly spiv.

The best epitaph is from the 60's when he got the Beatles to do a charity. Ringo Starr said this;

“He strikes me as a nice enough fella, but he’s the kind of bloke who would bottle your piss and sell it.”

Not so much Rest in Peace but Lie in it as that is all he has ever done.

Saw ultra left wing comedian, Mark Thomas, last night in Norwich. His very first words after picking up the mike was to launch into a rant against Jeffrey Archer. Very funny !

Shouldn't post that on here - if Doug's team are reading there'll be Eau de Rudoni, Essence of Haji and Hint of Milan's piss in the club shop by Friday!
