Arafat and the Holy Grail

Whenever I read another article about Arafat, I can't help thinking (read with cockney accent):

"I'm not dead"
"Ere. He says he's not dead"
"Yes, he is"
"I'm not!"
"Well, he will be soon. He's very ill."
"I'm getting better"
"No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment"
