The List for 2017 was great! Congratulations to the Committee!

Maradonna had a coke habit and heart trouble so don't be fooled by him looking mobile and lively. He may go with a sudden heart attack. I'd give Pele a passable chance of seeing him into the grave.

Bread was by Carla Lane. So naturally every single episode should be incinerated immediately, and anyone who saw an episode vaccinated to be on the safe side.

I never watched Bread and haven't watched an advert since the invention of the remote control.

Ooh. Last minute twist potentially...

Some possiblies: Cancer: John McCain Charlotte Rae Tessa Jowell Olivia Newton-John Aretha Franklin Clive James Stefan Karl Stefansson Rayya Elias Morgan Tsvangirai Nick Boles Val Kilmer Scott Hamilton Liam Miller Kathleen Blanco Devin Lima Linda Nolan Bernard Tapie Denis Goldberg Jose Jose Carmen Franco Greg Gilbert Dean Francis Patrick Cryne Catherine Nevin Simon Ricketts Tommy Chong Bill Wyman Oliver Dragojevic Ryan O'Neal ALS: Fernando Ricksen Stephen Hillenburg Stephen Hawking Steve Gleason Kerry Goode Alzheimer/Dementia: Jeanne Little Prunella Scales Monica Vitti John Hume Terry Jones Prince Henrik Martin Peters Ray Wilson Gerd Müller Stan Bowles Billy McNeil Neil Simon Zell Miller Daniel arap Moi COPD: Grace Anne Koppel Stroke: Chris Rea Joni Mitchell Tim Curry Parkinson: Michael J. Fox Roger Bannister Johnny Isakson Ray Kennedy HIV: Magic Johnson Charlie Sheen Alcoholism: Shane McGowan Paul Gascoigne Jimmy Greaves David Hasselhoff Charlie Sheen Drug problems: Lindsay Lohan Macaulay Culkin Courtney Love Diabetes: Wilford Brimley

Agree. They are both candidates for 2018

If there was an award for post of the year. This would be in the mix

Back when the great Peter Falk was diagnosed with Alzheimers, lots of guest posts - allowed at the time - kept showing up that year to tell everyone, even long after Falk's condition was widely known. It became a joke response to when someone brought up obvious information (ie if someone new posted today "hey, Leah Bracknell has lung cancer!") but has been overkilled to death so much it's degenerated into a meme.

Dolly Parton is an American national treasure.

Just sent my list,hopefully no one famous announces they have months to live in the next weeks.

It’s because it’s fake news! We all know your cock is like a hamsters cotton bud

You never saw Gadaffi and Tarantino in the same room did you??????? No wonder the Hateful 8 wasn't up to much....

Brimley is a dead ringer for Jimmy Greaves.

Bumping this thead to attempt to remind the committee to pick her. I'm not seeing many people mention her in the other threads, but she's definitely deathlisty, her sister made the list before.

Ok, so you can say 'fuck' 'cunt' 'wanker' etc etc. You can also post up shite like 'share if you agree that muslims should go to church instead of Mosques if the live in the UK..' You can also post up stuff that could constitute paedophilia to the average person. You can also post up crap to phish, con and cheat the gullible. But the moment you post up a pic of a wine bottle......oh no!! The FB Nazis are on you!!

She’s definitely a guaranteed lock for anyone who is trying to compete for gold next year, but if I’m honest, I would rather have her die before the new year so can be free from her pain than to have her suffer another week...

And TQR's SDL 2018 is now open for business (a tad early because I reckon my class of '17 is exhausted of any more hits. Only 13, how pants.) I tried to make the bunch as renown as possible, so considering this was my no.1 priority I think it's alright!

I'll never forget that footage. It was surreal seeing the great and powerful Richard Nixon break down in tears, it showed he was still human though and did genuinely love his wife. I reckon we'll see something similar with H.W and Babara, only with the genders swapped and Barbara not lasting as long as good ol' Tricky Dick.

An interesting point, mind, how many non-native incomers might be claim as national treasures once they have a British passport? Mo Farah for one Well, we tend to 'claim' them if they are hugely successful. I mean, If Mo had finished last in the Olympics and was, generally, pretty shite, we would just be claiming that he was just another Somalian sponge cunt/terrorist/Pirate/roams London in a gang looking for aggro. Lets wait and see if Mo really is Mr Super 'I nevah evah took performance enhancing drugs' Clean. National treasure to pariah in a jiffy..................... You're not suggesting Mo is a drug cheat? Granted there is an as yet not in the public domain name of a household name UK drug cheat athlete to (maybe) be revealed. But it ain't him. No, it would be wrong to make such accusations without being on pretty strong ground. What does make me wonder and should make everybody else wonder is how he knew NOTHING about what his coach and training partner were up to. Thats incredibly naïve of him and that's being generous. We are quite happy to declare bollocks on people who said they had no idea Rolf and Jimmy were kiddy fiddling yet we are happy to swallow the wholesome Quorn eaters assertion that the people he spent as much time with as his own family managed to leave him completely in the dark. Mo LIVES out there, he TRAINS out there, its not like he was a casual visitor for a week every so often. I suppose, while ignorance is no defence, stupidity is.
