Ideas and Possibilities for 2006

[BrunoBrimley 83]

I saw a very poor looking Stirling Moss in Shepherd market the other week.

Did you offer him a few shillings to help him in purchasing his items?

[Guest BobTheChicken]

That old bitch (Margaret) Thatcher surely has to go on the list. I can't believe she hasn't been included before.

 

And won't we all rejoice, rejoice at that?

You can locate Mags down in the main forum topics below. She has her own entire thread going now for some while.

M-Thatch was in the paper i think today

saying how she ISNT dying and how she is completely healthy

 

infact, she supposedly had a new haircut in hospital !

disapointingly, signs of a moheekan (sp?) are absent

and it looks like her normal 'do.

 

BUT it wouldnt be the 1st time shes told a compulsive lie, so..? who knows.

 

 

 

 

 

While were on the topic... Cherie Blair is a (highly unlikely) pick for 2006. She doesnt half cause some avoidable hassle for Tony, maybe shell be...ridden of.

 

I doubt it tho.

 

 

 

I apologise for my spelling in this post

Maybe she's watching this site and trying to throw us off?

I PERISH the thought

I stuck to my Cpt Kirk non-interventionist policy. Stirling is not short of money. But he is short.

Come to think of it Brian Blessed could be an outsider. Maybe there should be an obesity factor introduced. If you give these people points, you could take off points for smoking/lifestyle/drinking/obseity. That way people like Johnny Vegas come into the frame at a relatively tender age. Are there any actuaries on the site?

 

 

I'm having a go at being an amateur actuary!

Got a spreadsheet with over 500 popular names on it - ranking via a points waiting taking in all types of lifestyle and age factors limiting their lifespan.

Seems like a good time to introduce my 50 picks to put up an interesting addition to the ideas going forward into producing next years list. The first figure being a type of relative quotient of likelihood of dying thus Ronnie Biggs on 171 is twice as likely to die during the year as Harrold Pinter is.

 

171.10 Ronnie Biggs - very ill - 3 strokes - 2x HA - para - flu - mrsa

141.09 Ron Santo - 20 operations, multi HA, bladder cancer, bypass, amputee, unable to travel diabetes

Brilliant. This list has star quality about it. I guess people must cast around the House of Lords occasionally - a great club for the old and degenerate. Lord Renton, 97, the oldest sitting peer, is in the right age bracket. Sad thing is that the bugger passed his driving test only two years ago. I heard of another peer aged 102 but can't find him.

 

A couple of lefties to watch: Arthur Scargill (very quiet), Derek Robinson (Red Robbo and still marching).

 

A couple of comedy writers: Eric Sykes (although still acting), also Denis Norden must be nearly ready for his own outtake

[Handrejka 1,839]

Talking about Dennis Norden, can anyone proove that he is actually still alive. The only time he's ever on telly these days is in years- old repeats of It'll be alright on the night.

I've wondered that too. Maybe he's a hologram. Or should that be an hologram. Not sure of my grammar there.

[Guest Guest]

Just checked and he's 82 and hasn't been on TV since the ninth "laughter file" back in 2003. Though he is appearntly now doing after dinner speaking(http://www.cmmol.net/after_dinner_speakers.htm#Professional%20After%20Dinner%20Speakers%20). And you can get him for less than £10,000! Not exactly a bargin though as he must be the dullest, most wooden man ever allowed on TV.

[Twelvetrees 10]

I actually saw Denis Norden walking along Charlotte Street in London just over a week ago. He looked cold, but quite healthy.

[Canadian Paul 93]

I guess Arthur C. Clarke now enters Rotten Ali's Top 50.

 

He's always been a fascinating man to me.

True. Only posted this list on Friday night! and already I've got to amend it due to my oh so accurate way of keeping track of all the right criteria! Anyway I was under the impression Richard Pryor was still doing fairly well so it came as a bit of a shock. Still, I had picked him in my current DDP, though was due to leave him off my 2006 entry.

How is Prince Phillip doing these days?

Does he look likely to last long now?

You can never judge with these bloody royals

[Godot 148]

Prince Philip appears to be in good health at the moment. I cannot see him dying in the next 3 years anyway.

Oh, unless he is invovled in a carriage racing accident (as many deathlisters are hoping).

[Guest Jock McTavish]

Rick Parfitt of Status Quo possibly on his way out soon?

[Cup of Tea 3]

Gah! I knew id forgot to mention somebody

I read that in the paper the other day.

I dont think hell be off too soon tho, i could live to regret saying that though.

It's a good possibility.

 

BTW, there is already a Rick Parfitt thread right here

Joan Plowright
