    Haha a man who sleeps with rent boys without using condoms is now lecturing everyone on public health.

    I have heard that can be fairly common.I remember an old girl at my Grandad's home kept saying at 99 when she was very frail and ill that she just wanted to make 100.She fell gravely ill three days before which made us all worry.Then she perked up in time for her telegram and was recently told she is still going and is set to celebrate her 102nd this month.

    Gerry Adams & Martin McGuinness

    No but I hope it is something serious.Martin McGuinness has pulled out of a trip to China on medical advice... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/sinn-feins-martin-mcguinness-withdrew-from-china-trip-because-of-health-scare-35280379.html Haha.Maybe I will get him as my first wishlist hit for 2017!

    50/50

    No no.Teams of 50 names can be submitted any time and amended after someone on the list has died and gets the required obituary whether you picked the said individual or not.Then you can change any number of picks or none at all.If there are no changes I will carry forward the names to the next round automatically.Unique picks 2 points.Duplicates are 1 point.

    50/50

    You can but the express stated she is 68.So if they are right she would be an ineligable pick.

    Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

    *Good choice - A play Parsons was in closed earlier this year and she has been retired since then. Could be a situation like Strich where theater work is what she lived for and dies right after quitting Another good selection-Lollobrigida's family and her much younger husband are already fighting in court,usually a sign death is not far behind when people are vulturing for their cut of money(see Etta James,Casey Kasem) Of those 5 women I would say Jackie Stallone is probably the worst option since she is still active and about in public. Not familiar with most of the Germans name's but I would say Pope Benedict is a good choice if rumors that he is frail now are true. Yeah but Jackie Stallone could easily go under the knife again at 95 and die from anaesthesia.

    British Beatlemania could refer to Any One Beatle, too, in a way. Chubby Checker's still going. As is Dylan. Also there was no mention of Kissinger in the song. Wasnt there?My bad

    Political Frailty

    http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/times2/cancer-is-not-a-battle-its-a-forced-march-8pllq5t66:Update on Nick Boles.The tumor in his head is a result of a recurrence of non-Hodgkins lymphoma which is now at a higher grade than it was the first time he was diagnosed in 2007 and he also needs a stem cell transplant.Doesn`t sound too promising.

    Isn`t Glenn one of the only people still alive who was referenced in the song "We didn`t start the fire".Only ones other than him I can think of are Glenn Henry Kissinger Doris Day and The Queen. Edit:Forgot Brigitte Bardot and Bernie Goetz.

    A must have if he is still going.I wonder why he is in a cancer hospital if he hasn`t been diagnosed with cancer.Cancer tests maybe?

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    Started calculating the probability of who is most likely to be on the Drop 40.Can easily guess over twenty names I would put good money on making an appearance.I bet Zsa Zsa won`t be 1st next year though.

    Looking forward to what happens to the Drop 40 given the added points.

    Paul Gascoigne

    Even everyday heavy drinkers have only around a 1 in 3 chance of developing chronic liver failure. Yeah but Gazza is at the extreme level of alcoholism.

    How has he not had liver failure yet????

    The dead of 2016

    I thought he would have made a good addition to the 2017 list but sadly it wasn't meant to be. Another fine character actor gone but I'm glad that he had a long life and he ended his career with a great performance in Game Of Thrones. Now will the committee finally decide to include Geoffrey Bayldon for next year? Roughly the same age and an equally long repertoire of film/TV appearances. Also Roy Dotrice why is the same age as Vaughan and was also on game of thrones.

    Close To The End

    I don't get it - Wetton has looked really ill recently with metastatic cancer and sepsis, and yet he expects he might be able to make a full recovery? How can he be expecting to go on tour in 2017 given how ill he has been? One thing's for sure - he may be quite seriously ill, but you can't deny that he's a fighter... Best of luck to him in making that full recovery - he will certainly need it! I certainly wouldn't write him off yet. He may be expecting to recover, but we don't know for sure. He's certainly a fighter, but I don't think he'll actually fully recover. There has already been a ton of damage done. Even if he did fully recover (say in the Wilko Johnson fashion), he would always be one for DeathList to keep an eye on at any rate. But what I don't understand is how he can be looking as ill as he has looked - practically looking at death's door - and yet feels as though he's healthy enough to tour in 2017? Many of his fans on Twitter expressed the same concerns - namely, they thought that he would not be healthy enough to go on tour. I can't work it out. Surely he wouldn't agree to go ahead with the tour if he didn't feel that he was on the mend? It is a small US tour in spring 2017, mind, but that's still a lot for someone battling cancer and sepsis to have to deal with. How would he manage to stand up on stage for two hours at a time and sing songs and play bass if he's as ill as he is? He is doing a Robin Gibb.Carrying on with future plansand concerts that he cant realistically see through.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    £12 over the funding goal of £50 already I may not be as up on cancer as the rest of you but when it comes spotting homes for ducks the Hallwang clinic is full of quacks. It might be that she hangs on for a couple of years but the £50k is going to go down the drain faster than piss at the Oktoberfest. She'd be better investing the money for her family.She is apparently already spending the money on this trial and the hallwang clinic is 50k per treatment.Is it me or do terminal cancer patients have bursts of optimism at some point down the road.I mean I hope the treatment works for her but cant help but think she rates her chances way too highly.She has a love of all things spiritual which seems to be playing into her research and her faith in it.The Hallwang clinic sounds suspect to me.Also she looks jaundiced.I know she is half Asian but compare her recent pictures to those a few years back.
