Slave to the Grave 26 Posted July 1, 2005 How about Mad Frankie Fraser for 2006? He was born in 1923. I can't find any specific information about his current state of health but apparently he is mad. Purely for research purposes, it would be good to hear from anyone who has been on a Mad Frankie tour of East London. He has a website: Frankie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted July 3, 2005 Not necessarily one for 2006, but one to keep an eye on: IGM Garry Kasparov, former World Chess Champion and Russian politician.

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 3, 2005 I would consider Margaret Thatcher (b.1925) and King Fahd of Saudi Arabia (b.1923). Fahd is going through a £50 million divorce/ law suit so that may help finish him off (even though £50m is loose change to him). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the statistics to hand, but I believe being pelted with eggs is seldom fatal. After all Ted Heath is still surviving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 4, 2005 I'm not sure if this ones famous enough - the former King of Cambodia Sihanouk (b.1924). He abdicated late last year in favour of his dancing son. He suffers from cancer and it worsened in May. It was so serious that he wrote on his website that he still wasn't dead yet. Above all this he also claims that there are people who want him dead so his outlook on life isn't very positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 4, 2005 What about Malietoa Tanumafili II (b.1913), the reining monarch of Samoa. The third longest reigning living monarch in the world - speaking of which, I was disappointed to see Rainier slip through the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shuffler Posted July 6, 2005 Howabout Ross Davidson, former Eastenders actor but recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor and gave 6 months to year so if he survives this year he will be a definate for next year. Poor Ross! Must be at least the 3rd time his name has been put forward (possibly all within this thread, though I can't be bothered to check). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
