    No-one had heard of Henry Allingham up to a few weeks ago, apart from his mum and his mates. As for Teodoro Obiang Nquema Mbasoqo, he's not as well known as Hilda Ogden in this part of the world. Does leading a country mean that you're famous? That said it's good to have some Equitorial Guineans. I'm a sad enough bastard to have signed up here but not so sad that I've done my homework on all the threads, but from what I have seen it seems a bit light on Nobel prizewinners, business leaders and management gurus. Peter Drucker who died a couple of weeks ago was a bad miss. Joseph Juran (big in Japan) can't be far off, nor can Ronald Coase, the economist.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2006

    Far too many pages here. But I would offer up Alan Bennett (cancer in 2005), one out of these five: Tony Curtis, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee, Michael Caine and Roger Moore; Soap stars: Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden)? Not that old at 79 but all those years with Stan Ogden must have worn her down. What about an astronaut? Chuck Yeager (flyer not astronaut) is still going. John Glenn might be an outside bet. I think Norman Wisdom could well survive Ken Dodd. Ronnie Corbet, however, could be a good canidate now that Ronnie Barker has gone. A jazz trio for 2006: Acker Bilk, Humphrey Lyttelton and George Melly

    Maradona might make a good bet for next year. He doesn't look too cracking these days.

    Ah, I see now he was discussed but not with any great medical knowledge. Liver transplants can't stand up to alcohol abuse. There should be more discussion of younger "hopefuls". I wouldn't give Pete Doherty more than a year or two.

    The world's greatest foot baller dies in 2005. You couldn't have put money on it, it was such a hot bet. Yet nowhere do I see him mentioned on any list. What kind of a site is this?
