I hope she hasn't been as dumb as all those British local authorities and stuck it in an Icelandic bank.

I did wonder about him for the coming year and won't be surprised if he's picked in some of the last minute entries. His father too must be a contender.

I'd reckon his father is far more likely to follow the Bhutto trait of early death - judging by comments on the BBC site and elsewhere, the vast majority see Bilawal as just a kid but are disparaging about Zardari. Either way, I personally think Musharraf is more of a likely target.

 

As for youngsters, I thought all bets were off for Amy Winehouse. Far more unstable than Britney Spears.

 

Otherwise, all the usuals will remain on the list apart from those that die. Other people will become ill and thus be deemed dead certs for 2009. The odd person will surprise us all. Chinese Democracy still won't be released, and Kate Bush is more likely to tour than Clive Dunn is to die.

 

Looks like at least one of VT's predictions is being shattered

Clara Meadmore has turned 105 and attributes it to still being a virgin.

 

What this woman needs is a damn good f...

Joe Cook, 85, the leader of Little Joe Cook And The Thrillers, is suffering from colon cancer. I'm not sure he's famous enough to get a UK obit, but you never can tell.

 

Here's his best known song, Peanuts, which went to No 7 on the Billboard charts in 1957. I like it.

According to the Wikipedia page of UK based Jamican musician, Alton Ellis, he is suffering from lymphatic cancer. He's a pioneer of rocksteady music, which later evolved in to reggae.

Wikipedia and blogs claim he's dead. http://radiosunflow.blogspot.com/2008/10/a...y-sad-news.html

We'll see. It's had adverts in the press before and even Axl and co touring in support of it a few years back and it still didn't get released. I'm not holding my breath.

[Terminator 13]

I'm not holding my breath.

 

Why not go for the Guinness breath-holding record? Big breaths, Vinegar Tits....

Kay Burley, obit no probs, since Sky News would make a big fuss.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

James Bevel, a civil rights activist who worked alongside Martin Luther King, is suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer and has been given six weeks to six months to live. He has just been convicted of child sex offences and was given a fifteen year jail sentence.

 

We know that the defendant is dying," said Prosecutor Gigi Lawless. "Everyone dies. This defendant should die in jail."

I would suggest Robert Mugabe, he is surprisingly old and with the continued collapse of his country, it might be time for him to go in more than one sense.

 

Continuing the world leader theme, Kim Jung Il might be an idea as well!

[Guest I Munches Dead]

Not to beat a horse that I'm pretty sure is already dead with my ideas (irony of that statement makes me smile).

 

Ted Kennedy - With the brain cancer and what not He's not long for the world.

John McCain - I just have a feeling on this on, Old age and a history of skin cancer add to the hunch.

Dick Cheney - His deal with Satan for extended life is almost done for, Is heart is failing and again he is just plain old.

Queen Elizabeth II - She can't keep going much long can she?

Kay Burley, obit no probs, since Sky News would make a big fuss.

Good Pick

[Guest joe P]

George Steinbrenner is looking very ols and frail...2009 may be his time.

The woman sent a telegram to her own mother on her 100th birthday. 82 to the likes of people with genes like that is nowt.

Fasion critic "Mr. Blackwell" who does the worst dressed list sounds like he might not make a list this year.
