Watching the story on the news did strike me as being eerily similar to an obituary.

Nope no more pools for this guy.Spent 3 hours updating 50/50 yesterday.Death by numbers is tomorrow.

The statement sounded suspicious to me.

Certainly.

Weird how the first 6 months there were 7 hits and the last 6 months there has only been 1.

Newcomers still welcome!

Reminder of the rules pick 50 names of celebs born in the 1950's.You get two points for a unique hit and one for one someone else already has.A BBC article either national or international is required to score points for a hit.You can only change picks when a new round is triggered by the death and qualifying obit article of a name on someones list.

You dont sorry getting muddled.

Try and say his name 20 times after 4 pints!

Still think you can.

People can get alzheimers at 95 but it is rare.Most 95 year olds have age related memory loss.Furthermore a 95 year old is likely to have poor vision making scripts hard to read.When old people lose a significant amount of hearing it makes them appear senile even when they are not so it could be Betty was struggling with timing making people to assume she had alzheimers.By 95 most people have also had several mini strokes which of course can cause damage to memory and cognitive processing.Memory loss in old age can be linked to other illnesses .I saw it once in a 97 year old woman with emphysema I lived near.She was physically frail for years but sharp as a tack until about 3 months before she died when the mind went too.My Mums boss died at 100 and worked until her mid nineties when she was diagnosed with alzheimers after several car crashes and extreme short term memory loss including washing and cooking.Eventually she went into a home and was mute for the last couple of years.

Indeed.Religion should not be above criticism.

I have read that Doreen Keogh is in a home.Whether it is Brinsworth house or not I dont know.

Hate to say it but Timothy Spall looks dreadful.

Jeremy .

This to me seems a massive own goal.The woman is just useless.She could be a character in the thick of it!

This thread is really for keeping track of how many deathlist candidates lifespans encompass QE2s reign.Can seeher lasting a few years so could get interesting.

I think the committee are doing well and will break the record comfortably!

Yeah I mean I get why you would pick someone who was off their face but Oprah doesnt fit in that category.

Wilfred Bramble was piss poor too.With George Lineker as morally wrong as I would argue his inclusion was he did have a rare for of leukemia so I can see the logic.Oprah was 36 had no health issues and didnt live a high risk lifestyle as far as I am aware.

Oprah Winfrey being put on the 1990 list has to be the worst pick by the committee of all time.
