You could add John Noakes (Blue Peter) to that list. I didn't realize until just now that he turned 80 last May. You mean we could "Go With Noakes".

You can't judge a person's health or will to live based on their appearance/demeanour after they've spent an hour in a make-up room with Richard Osman.

At this point Harold Bishop might be in with a shout...

Are you really an ordained minister? Respect if you are! Thank you! I am indeed - I was ordained as a minister in 2013, and inducted as the assistant pastor of a small Evangelical church in our village. I have a day job as well (accountancy) that pays the bills, so it's surprising I find as much time to come on here as I do!

Are they nearly chucking spears at him?

Time for a change in this country if your right wing support UKIP if your left wing support the greens .

Just for fun, I looked up the future Edward VII in the 1871 census. His name is given as "HRH Prince of Wales", while his occupation is described as simply "Prince".

I'll update my sig when I fucking feel like it, fucknut. I was waiting for confirmation of my 2015 DDP entry..... so shuuuut uuuuuuuup. And also, since when did "being asked for your opinion" mean you get some magical right to not have somebody tell you it's retarded? No-one wants to hear some "OMG WHY ARENT ALL 50 CHOICES SOME AMERICAN BALL-THROWING EXPERT NOBODY IN BRITTUN HAS EVER HEARD OF" horse shit that make you sound like a caffeine-addled, FPS-addicted, much-less appealing American version of Deathray? (Sorry DR, just kiddin'........ like you were when you called me a moronicos, etc. or something) However I thought "Cancel My Appointments" was a funny team name and if Spade is telling you to go away then I'm ready to do a complete 180 and give you a second chance. Just try to be slightly less of a cunt.... I preferred to let sleeping dogs lie, as I had my piece and thanks to it not being soft and cushiony, I took heat. Let's get a couple things outta the way. One, I NEVER said anything about the list needing Yanks on it, nor too many Brits on it (you be the judge if it has, seeing as the reach is global). Two, I probably did come across as a cunt otherwise, Alas. But I stand strong, bold, steadfast, and with conviction (lol) on my point, which is the list is pedestrian in thought and construction. Here are names for one reason or another have zero justification imho, other than the person is 90-98 years old: And by justification I mean RECENT MEDICAL evidence or insight. CLee Berry Mugabe Mubarek Day HLee BBKing Dole Schmidt O'Hara Cole Sallis LSmith RAdams Kerkorian Maynard Here are names on the list with medical evidence but whom I may not have included, but whatever: JRoberts (Superstar Billy Graham in worse shape, if you want a rasssler) Harper (seems recovered to me, though yes we know how these things go -- I may include her if I expanded to 50 names) Kohl (looks frail, but only links cliaming poor health are terribly old, meaning irrelevant in 2015). Lastly, who in the hell is Joost Westhuizen? A truly unremarkable fellow, he shouldn't qualify as celebrity imho. But it is what it is, and he is on the list for a reason, though frankly I say a year too soon. But I'll live. Joost should be so lucky. Many of you have posted EXCELLENT research/links to very qualified candidates that obviously went ignored by the Committee. I think the list was slapped together by those who are lazily 'playing the odds' that a 95 year old will die. And if that flies for the best list that can be put together, it's a self-indictment. I"ll take my percentage chances saying none of those I've listed (1/3 of the list) will perish in 2015. The only 'dead' they are is dead weight on what could be a great list. I may be wrong on 2-3, Tha'tll be a better percentage than the hits out of 50 provided by The DeathList. I hope that is an un-cunty answer. Sir Creep Mubarek and Mugabe have been in and out of the hospital the last few years. Chuck Berry cancelled a bunch of tour dates and BB King has been fat all his adult life so I would think his chances to die are higher then the median guy his age. O'Hara is frail in a wheelchair and a few years ago moved to Idaho so a relative could take care of her. Imo all these people seem like solid picks from the committee.

I have a day job as well (accountancy) that pays the bills, so it's surprising I find as much time to come on here as I do! No bullshit whatsoever, respect for that and for holding your faith. I appreciate that it may give you a different view of death to the one some others on this site might hold. As a christian myself I don't have any particular qualms about what we do on here but there again I think my brian is wired a bit odd.

Laser inventor Charles Hard Townes, dies at 99. Hope he didn't see the light and walked towards it. Holy crap, I'm on a roll! (Now watch me not get any more hits until August)

Mine's my old school nickname. Almost a quarter of a century after leaving school, I still use it. Lack of imagination or refusal to grow up?

Here you touch one of the major problems with elections: the result of an election depends as much on its mechanics as on the will of the people it is supposed to express. As far as I'm aware there is no perfect system. For me that's one major reason for random assignment of representatives. Elections of executives (a relatively rare thing in Europe) may be a different matter. Then there's all the trouble with vote rigging, gerrymandering, voter registration... regards, Hein

Is it the case that Tony is thinking in a few years they will be looking to award a knighthood and the name of that fantastic chap who used to be PM will come up "It seems only right that he should have one......." By the way I have been enjoying this spotlight on Australian politics as it distracts us from the fact that Phil isn't actually dead yet (and is very informative)

Dunno, he's got to pensionable age without a proper job, manages to sound off about the stuff he cares about and still gets to hang around with important people. And, he's never tasted poverty or lost sleep over the danger of redundancy. I can think of worse ways to stumble through your seventh decade. Perhaps one day he might get to be king, and the shock of it happening might give him a heart attack. With every passing year with his mother alive the chances of that happening grow slimmer. Should he survive her, his reign will be short. regards, Hein

I didn't realise he was as old as that. He turned up as a pointless answer on Pointless this weekend, so - despite the gold medal winning performance - he didn't make that much national impact, then.

I'd opt for June Brown out of that lot. We weren't enquiring about your sexual preferences!! There are people you do make sexual innuendo references with and there are people that, well, you just don't..........................

No, but I remember doing a crossword once and a clue was tidal forces upset communist president. P.S. I'm doing a crossword at the minute and I think 7 up is lemonade but I'm not certain.

A man and his wife moved back home to Cork, from London. The wife had a wooden leg and to insure it in Britain was £2,000.00 a year! When they arrived in Cork they went to an Insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure the wooden leg. The agent looked it up on the computer and said to the couple, '€39.00.' The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in Ireland to insure, because it cost him £2,000.00 in England! The agent turned his computer screen to the couple and said, 'Well, here it is on the screen, it says: *Any wooden structure, with a sprinkler system over it, is €39.00.*'
