Windsor 2,233 Posted November 4, 2005 So lets stick him on the 2006 list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted November 5, 2005 The Rev Sun Myung Moon founder of the "Moonies" could be a possible selection for '06. Especially as he is planning to visit a 100 cities in a 100 days, that's a lot of travelling and strain for an 85 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,903 Posted November 10, 2005 I heard a rumour that Herb Alpert has cancer, butI can't find any info. on the web. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted November 11, 2005 I heard a rumour that Herb Alpert has cancer, butI can't find any info. on the web. Can anyone confirm or deny this? His official website doesn't give any clues. Everything seemed to grind to a halt in 1997. At 70, he might just manage to creep into the 'reserves' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted November 12, 2005 I heard a rumour that Herb Alpert has cancer, butI can't find any info. on the web. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I can deny most loudfully that yes indeedy you can find information about Herbon the internet. Not neccessarily about his health but information and even pictures and sound clippings.

G. Love 0 Posted November 14, 2005 Drudge/Evening Standard reporting that Muhammad Ali has months to live. Float like a butterfly, rot like a corpse? I read that a while ago in a rather reputable news paper. Okay, the Daily Sport. Doesn't bode too well for the world's greatest (barely) living athlete.

G. Love 0 Posted November 14, 2005 Mark Felt, 92 - Deapthroat in the 1972 Watergate Scandal (seriously ill) I think that's a *ahem* dead cert. It makes sense as to why he unveiled himself this year. Good spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted November 14, 2005 Charles Haughey, 80 - Ex PM of Ireland (remains in ill health & nearly died 2 years ago)Mark Felt, 92 - Deapthroat in the 1972 Watergate Scandal (seriously ill) I'm all for the top 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempus Fugit 214 Posted November 14, 2005 Peter F. Drucker, 95, world-renown economist and management consultant, is in frail health and appears to be slowing down. He would be a good suggestion for inclusion in the 2006 list. With his demise, Peter Drucker definitely will not make the 2006 list, but I recommend the following selections: Charles Haughey, 80 - Ex PM of Ireland (remains in ill health & nearly died 2 years ago) Mark Felt, 92 - Deapthroat in the 1972 Watergate Scandal (seriously ill) Ibrahim Rugova, 51 - President of Kosovo (lung cancer) Ross Davidson, 55 - Ex Eastenders actor (brain cancer) Of course there is some dispute as to whether Mark Felt is the real Deep Throat. Some Washington insiders believe he is a red herring, albeit a willing one. They say he is taking the spotlight away from the real Deep Throat, George Bush Snr.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 16, 2005 Jean Marie Le Pen, the infamous French Fascist is 77, looks overweight and generally unhealthy. One to keep an eye on. There is also the outside chance he might get shot by somone he has offended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted November 16, 2005 DevonDeathTrip Posted on Nov 16 2005, 12:56 PM Jean Marie Le Pen, the infamous French Fascist is 77, looks overweight and generally unhealthy. One to keep an eye on. There is also the outside chance he might get shot by somone he has offended. I was watching the news last night and thought to myself that for the first time LePen looked far more on top of life than Jac' Chirac - who has had that spell in hospital for undisclosed reasons. Add those observations to the facts that Chirac daughter had a suicide attempt and he is still under presure over criminal charges when he leaves office & I'm putting money on the President popping his froggy clogs before the other detestable right winger.

Star Crossed 33 Posted November 17, 2005 Can we start some rioting here in the hope that it has a detrimental effect on Tony's health? Top idea! I just commenced a minor scuffle in my office involving a swivel chair, a hacky-sack and a glass of water. Not quite the Molotov cocktails, rubber bullets and water cannon you were hoping for, but it's a start. I'm hoping it will escalate into a full-scale car-burning public frenzy later this evening, should the weather remain clement... I'll keep you posted. Anything to help Tony out with his impending coronary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
