1 pointAre 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! 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. Yes, I have a few concerns about the wiring of my brian too. (Oh well, it is an anagrams thread...)

1 pointhe's been giving updates (c/w photos) about his condition on his gofundme page (which he started to help cover some of his living expenses) He's only been asking for $5000 so he can't had fallen on hard times yet. A friend of mine was diagnosed with stage 3 Multiple myeloma a few years ago. His cancer is now in remission but we had 4 fundraiser concerts and helped raise around $20K to help with his living and medical expenses. Have you seen the British cartoon strip of our version of Breaking Bad, it's about six frames in which a guy is diagnosed with cancer, starts to worry about paying for treatment and then the doctor explains about the NHS!

1 pointYou 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". Well, he did look...tired on Pointless last year. 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.

1 pointNo, he has to pay extra for them. A couple of years ago he'd do the season ticket with 3 extra seats. Good grief. As I understand it, it's an outdoors pastime. I like to be outside, but I prefer good weather for that. There are many outside things that I'd rather do on a nice day than watch lacrosse. Inside sports (and sport the on box) at least have use as entertainment on rainy days, although there's competition for that. I held season tickets for Feyenoord for a few years. Wind and rain (and poor performance) didn't stop me watching from the stands. I'll stop now, we're drifting off topic. There may be some more amusement in this topic. regards, Hein I don't mind football so much, although it depends on the atmosphere. The last football game I went to was between Chelsea and Stuttgart for the 1998 Cup Winners Cup final. I only went to that because someone had a spare ticket after their friend was arrested the night before for starting a fight in one of the bars in Stockholm.

1 pointI don't give a toss about rassling, never have, but as we say in Dutch ieder z'n meug. If I'd had to get my nickers in a twist about all the silly things other people like and do, I'd be busy the rest of my life. Do you have any idea how silly cricket, bowls, american football, footy, ruggers, speed skating, fierljeppen, pole sitting, chess, sumo, or the Eton wall game look to outsiders? regards, Hein

1 pointI'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.

1 pointOh aye, and in case Zorders MPFCitis is dormant this should spark a relapse Myra Hindley and Ian Brady the infamous moors murderers = in mud or dreary marshland they buried remains of so many! Obviously the exclamation mark is my little flourish, but you get the point.
