Sean

Rex Garrod is about 74.Inside knowledge I have is that he has indeed gotten significantly worse in the last few months though.He is physically fine though so could last a while yet.Desperately sad.I won't say anymore out of respect for the family though.

I dont think she is faking.She looks like death warmed up.

Thread for picks we think the committee should discard.Mine are Greg Gilbert Devin Lima and John Bain.

Elaine Lordan #

Ellaine Lorden is 51 today.Can I swap her out with Steffan Lewis?

The name that I really think the DL have underestimated is Stefan Karl.The guy was part of a highly successful children's show much like John Noakes.

Sinead is Deathlist worthy but not worth a shot as she could last a while.If she is diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer then she would pass the fame test.

Christie set the precedent for Francis.

Essentially yes.

Cryne I agree with but Francis I think could get a place like Christie did.

Worthy# can some kind mod please correct this Diane Abbott level typo?

If he gets pneumonia while reporting during the winter and is put in an induced coma I will consider him.

He isn't on my shortlist.

I am down to around 100 currently.Cutting down from that is very tough though.

The treatment is already ruining him before the cancer kicks in full force.I hope he doesn't li1ve too long.Saw someone die of this over 15 months and that was with highly successful surgery radiation and steroids.It is a fate I wish no man. I do not get the hate for McCain.He has his faults but seems a decent guy.Maybe I say that as a right winger though.

Same.I reckon February.

I mean 17 days is not that long.

If he dies on new years eve we will all be screaming.

Trying to write up my official shadow list.It is a nightmare.So many great choices.

I think he stands a good chance of making January 1st.I wouldn't put a tenner on it though.

I am not convinced he Is in hospital for normal side effects.Surely he can afford nurses around the clock at home.

I mean the guy is already missing crucial votes and is only going to get worse.

Surely he will have to quit the Senate soon?

McCain should be number 1 next year.
