Ideas and Possibilities for 2006

Recommended Posts

We tried an anti-cancer tea that a loving customer/friend brought from Europe last week...

Is this some granny like alternative to chemotherapy??

 

'Oh, you have cancer? That's so sad. Have this nice cup of tea and everything will be okay...'

It's most likely some sort of natural healing. Though of course

that usually doesn't help you when your dying of a fatal disease.

I guess when ever i hear someone has a bad disease and they

say there turning towards natural healing i suppose then right away

i cross there name out with my red highlighter. ;)

I see Phyllis King, the oldest living Wimbledon champion, is 100 today. She - and presumably someone else even less well known (?) - won the Women's Doubles in 1931.

 

You can merge this with sportspersons, the "girls" thread or just 2006 possibles - take your pick!

Franz Müntefering, president of the German Social-Democrat party SPD collapsed during a speech today. At 65 he may be a too young to go, and I'm a bit concerned about his fame status, but who knows.

 

Article (auf Deutsch):Franfurter Allgemeine,

How about Stephanie Kwolek,the discoverer of Kevlar. I mention her because there aren't that many female inventors,and she's getting on in age.

What are the odds of her being shot? :angel4:

Ingmar Bergman says he has made his last film

 

Apparently he's said that before, but he's 87 now, so you have to wonder...

given the famous (although I'm not sure I've seen even a second of any of his films) scene in The Seventh Seal where The Grim Reaper plays a game of chess,

seems like old Ingie would be a perfect DL selection. Only question is how likely he is to be caught check mate in '06....

There are serious concerns over the health of the former SDLP leader Lord Gerry Fitt.A source close to his family said that the 79-year-old peer was gravely ill and was being looked after at his home in England.

 

Lord Fitt, who has a heart condition, has been in declining health for several months

He would be a good choice for the 2006 deathlist if he survives until then.

 

Disregard that - he's gone.

 

First SDLP leader Lord Fitt dies

Guest lived so lets die.

I hav'nt had one pick die on my list at the moment, so if no one dies at all i may as well put the same list up for next year. Until someone does die im surprised Jack Klugman has'nt kicked it yet as for ideas i think Ross Davidson will be one to put money on because he's terminally ill. :D

Anyone from the UK will know that the soap Coronation Street is practicly full of old people :lol: !

 

Iv found out the ages of some of the oldest so at the moment, but i cant find any information on health status on all of them.

 

Betty Driver- 85 + heavy smoker (plays Betty)

 

Eileen Derbyshire- 75 (plays Emily)

William Roache- 73 (plays Ken)

Barbara Knox- 72 (plays Rita)

Johnny Briggs- 70 (plays Mike)

 

These ones could be pushing it a bit...

John Savident- 67+ Is quite overweight + stabbed in throat last year (plays Fred)

Malcolm Hebden- 65 (plays Norris)

William Tarmney- 64 + Is quite overweight + heavy smoker (plays Jack)

Sue Nicholls- 62 (plays Audrey)

I don't live in the UK so apparently i wouldn't know. Though from the

sound of this street the condition of most of the elderly people sounds

a bit compulsive. I plan to take a vacation to Great Brittan soon some day.

Just for telling me maybe i'll take a quick stroll down this street and maybe

i'll catch one of these "Old people outside" Then from up close i would be

able to tell if they should be put on the DL or not.

 

But i figure by the time i take that vacation the street will

be pretty much empty. :lol:

As a 14 year old you should know that being 60 years old doesn't mean that you are about to die.

You'll find as you get older your concept of what constitutes old age tends to take a sharp upward turn.
