Dead Wait

With the New Year just around the corner ideas for 2014 are almost definitely too late! So, a new thread to discuss contenders for 2015......

Pauline Cafferkey admitted to hospital for a third time........let's see if I was right in the post above!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-35639748

Paul Daniels diagnosed with incurable brain tumour! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35621313

So in addition to being a comedian he was also a pantomime??

Do we think Ali G will be commenting on his death???

Prunella Scales

Even though this is already in the Betty White soap thread, I do love the part of this Daily Mail report that states she is "tied to the long running SITCOM until March next year"

i'm sorry but i never heard of him, i doubt it would be a global shock if he dies :/ Why don't you two just shaddap you face.....

I'll go for the 8th

Vera Lynn

Um....His health hasnt had media coverage. Therefore it's not a miss at all. Sorry Guesty we don't wear 20-20 Hindsight glasses around here. It's only a MISS if we've posted about that person a time or two and said person is left off DL. Saudi King last year e.g. SC I would add that a miss is someone who was on DL in the past and then dropped. Well that's what I would view as a miss I agree with SC - if many people have been crying out a name to be added and it isn't and they die - that is a miss! Someone who has been on the list before who dies isn't a miss in my mind. I wouldn't call Eddie Large a miss if he went as the general consensus seemed to be that he wasn't right for the list in the first place

Why do you have to say things like that and build my hopes up? John Goodman, Robbie Coltrane, Eric Pickles - surely these would be real examples of BIG misses.....!!

Doesn't Bill Bailey do that......?

You don't have to give your heart out to her. Hers will go on just fine. Exactly. Guest needs to think twice before posting comments like that

If there is one........Robbie Coltrane would be a good bet.....

Surely we'll only know if that is true when we've reached 31st Dec......?!

I thought Cilla's death was indeed a surprise surprise....

All these reports on the news and once have I seen Labyrinth mentioned!! Unacceptable......

Brand new information!

The most extreme case is Kirk Douglas. He turned 99 less than a month ago, yet he also appears on the list as a centenarian. I guess only the year was given in the database, so their age is calculated as if they had been born on the 1st of January. I guess these would be corrected if the full BOD was given. BOD - birth of date???

Gazza!

With most lists for 2015 settled upon bar a few last minute tweaks - time for a new thread to start thinking about the candidates that may be suitable for 2016........

For that remark you're the Joker of the day. Shame on you.I'm gonna miss him. Feels weird seeing his name up on news sites with "dead at 70", "died 2 days after his 70th birthday".... I'll never forget what he said to me shortly before buying me a beer after I bumped into him as I was heading to the medical tent at Donnington after getting my nose broken. He put his hand on my shoulder, looked me straight in the eye and said "You look a right fucking mess. Get yerself cleaned up and we'll get some beers down ya" Not sure which news sites are telling you he died 2 days after his birthday but his birthday is the 24th and he died on the 28th. You might be reading that he died 2 days after being diagnosed with agressive cancer.....

Looks like he has his heart attacks every 5 years so maybe one for the 2017 list.....

Sounds like a great way to celebrate!!
