More Ideas & Possibles for 2005

[Typhoid Harry 23]

Yeager is a typically macho fighter-jock, I doubt we'll ever get a clue as to his health on a negative note, however, he's less visible these last few years.

[Typhoid Harry 23]

How's Ringo doing these days?

This could start an interesting court battle...

[Stayin Alive 26]

Oh, the Agony... The agony.

 

Claire Rayner sounding a bit shaky. Probably not helping herself much either, when she says she doesn't want to ever use another NHS hospital - apparently its got something to do with them being a trite filthy.

[Teddy 21]

Looks like Joe Longthorne is facng a tricky future. I'm not sure how well these bone marrow transplants work, even assuming he gets one. One to keep an eye on.

Maybe Zarquawi or Allawi can be a good choice for next year...

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Steve Race, musician writer and at one point a permanent fixture on Radio 2 is 84 next year.

Now retired, but probably still moaning about unlistenable 'Pop Music' in a bath chair in Bexhill.

 

"When you are about thirty-five years old, something terrible always happens to music"

 

That's one of his.

 

Twot.

 

[The Four Horsemen 26]

Is this the same Steve Race of "My Music" fame? Ian Wallace, Frank Muir, Denis Norden and somebody Amis if I remember correctly - Mr Muir has gone to the great scriptwriters hall in the sky, but the others must all be getting on a bit.......

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

That's the chappie.

Horrific programme, I hope you'll agree. Especially the end when the winner would sing a dreary tin-pan alley standard with Mr Race accompanying on piano. Almost as sh*t as Quote Unquote with sodding Nigel Rees.

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Norden - 83 next year

 

John Amis - Apparently a siffleur

 

Ian Wallace - ????

[The Four Horsemen 26]

John Amis is 84 next year, and Ian Wallace is the grandfather of them all being a mighty 86 next year (although he has just celebrated his 85th birthday a couple of weeks back) - surely we could nominate the My Music foursome for next years list - one of them is bound to fall off the perch!

 

I used to watch My Music when I was about 10, never knew any of the answers and probably still wouldn't. Rather worryingly, my parents have a range of books by Mr Rees (or Sodding to his friends!).

[Death Watch Beatle 41]

As most of us will know, Mo Mowlem was given the all-clear from her brain cancer some time ago (1998?), but does anyone here think there is a chance it has returned? I only ask this because I have recently seen her on a breakfast talk-show and she was rambling off-subject, didn't seem to know when to stop talking, talked over other people and got different countries mixed-up (worryingly calling Iraq Iran more than once). I know what you are going to say - these are the normal traits of a politician - but what if ...

 

DWB

[The Yeti 14]

Tick tock ...

 

Isley or should it be Ill-sley Brother ?

[Earl Gloomy 7]

TRH. Angus Ogilvy ( married to the Queen's cousin, Princess Alexandra)

 

 

Surely he hasn't got much time left with having cancer (unless it has been all- cleared) and is certianly into his late 70's if not older. Any thoughts???????????

[The Yeti 14]

What is it with you & royals !

 

You obviously have it in for Ogilvy ... I started once , so ...

 

[Guest Senor Whack]

Scott Weiland from STP fame and currently Velvet Revolver. Have you seen him lately? He could go anyday!

[Earl Gloomy 7]

Yetti, may i sugest Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands once again, or how about Queen Mother Astrid of Belgium?? (i think thats the right QM) or how about PRINCE.....etc etc.

[Guest Senor Whack]

Richard Pryor? He is about to go.

 

What about Ozzy Osbourne? The dark prince may not be with us much longer.

[Guest Guest_guest]

another possible for 2005 ?

[Guest Advisor]

Mike Wallace whos 87 at the moment. Hes most known for being the host of 60 minutes. Is he worth considering?

[Night 4]

Considering he was just detained for scuffling in the streets of New York, I'd say he's doing pretty well.

[Guest deFiantpHooF]

Paul Harvey

He's the guy that usually does some kind of weird story on AM radio. He usually airs right before Rush Limbaugh. I think he's in his 90's. Totally should be on the list...

[honez 79]

Oh, that old guy.

I was wondering who he was, listening to my AM radio here in Australia.

 

[And there was me thinking the world revolved around the sun. I must have been mistaken. It obviously revolves the USA.]

[faustus 9]

unfortunately..the world does revolve around the usa...pity that...as the world might just be a better place without them...

[Cowboy Ronnie 78]

riiiiiiight.

 

Back to the topic of DL nominees, according to our current criteria (obit in a major UK publication) my guess is Paul Harvey would probably scrape in to at least the likes of the Torygraph. We could put him down for a 2005 nominee, discuss him at the committee meeting, and he'd get voted down unanimously. So let's not even bother.

May I suggest two for 2005?

Michelangelo Antonioni and Mohammed Zahir Shah.
