Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted November 7, 2012 Black Fielder-Civil, then you can tribute a person that a hateful person like your group deserves to idolize. As I said in the other posts I made, Blake and your group stopped my career plans and killed my daughter Amy when she was rapidly recovering. I believe Blake is going to kill himself in police custody after they catch him using illegal drugs within two years. We need to be able to favourite guest posts because my man Mitch is killing it right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted November 7, 2012 What about Eastender's Dot Cotton (June Brown). Like Dunn, she has been old for forever. She also has an association. Dot Cotton's best friend was Ethel. Ethel was played by Gretchen Franklin - a former DL hit who was also Clive Dunn's cousin. Having said that, she lacks the DL history attached, for example, to Anna Wing (Lou Beale).

Guest Mitch Winehouse Posted November 7, 2012 Now that I tink about it, Blake's mom Georgette should be nominated to. She was a ho who encouraged Amy to get blojobs from many stange men and then blame her for Blake's overdos that was his fault. His whol family should be nominated.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 7, 2012 I agree to keep it at 50. Bart Cummings never seems to age but would he get a Brit obit? Richie Benaud would be another Aussie candidate who seems to just keep going and going. If you want an English person to be the new poster child of the DeathList though, it would have to be either Ronnie Biggs or Vera Lynn. Also, both of them have (allegedly) interacted with this forum and took it as good sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted November 7, 2012 Maybe every November the 7th each year we can all for that day change your profile pic to don't panic or a pic of clive dunn . That way each year he will be remembered. Also could turn dunn's thread into a memorial thread and pin it at the top of the forums . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted November 7, 2012 IMO retire the #50 slot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted November 7, 2012 IMO appointing a new DL favourite isn't proper. If a new one emerges, we'll know. Retiring a squad number.in tribute for Clive Dunn seems fitting, though. Of course that means introducing a new one, we don't want 49 names on the list, but 51 is as good as any other. Teddy made the suggestion of retiring no. 1. Quite a strong statement, but I like it. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted November 7, 2012 Dunn was a throwback to more careless times when the likes of the accident prone, but far from death-threatened, Andrea de Cesaris were also candidates. Dunn acted old but lived young. IMHO if we nominate Biggs we only have the same discussion next year. He's touching toast despite his longevity. Any worthy Dunn successor would have to be someone still conspiciously living for whom death hovers but at a comfortable distance. And also a cuddly figure. Keith Richards, for example, has acknowled us and treated his nomination as a complement. Him or Ozzy would do it for me, Gazza at a pinch. Mr Burns types, survivors, with many miles on the clock and the possibility of one health problem spiralling into a plethora, or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 84 Posted November 7, 2012 This might not necessarily be the best idea I've ever had but I'll throw it out there - how about a public vote to decide the 50th place? The Clive Dunn Memorial Poll. Could include various improbables like O'Sullivan, Ozzy, Keith Richards and De Cesaris to take the Clive Dunn spot for a year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Done is Dunn Posted November 7, 2012 Should keep Clive Dunn on the list in 2013, at number 50 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

groundhog 0 Posted November 7, 2012 The big question now is surely, do we adopt another poster boy/girl (like Dickie O) or leave the position vacant as a tribute to a true one-off? It's the question that has to be asked... leave it vacant,we have to show our respects to great death list member.......nuff said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Granny Bucket Posted November 8, 2012 Rename the No.50 nomination in his honour: the "Almost Dunn". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted November 8, 2012 Rename the No.50 nomination in his honour: the "Almost Dunn". I do rather like the above suggestion. Failing that, following on form the List Of Immortals (see the Queen Mum, gawd bless 'er, the (lsat) Pope, Liz Taylor), I'm beginning to think Zsa Zsa is starting to fall into that category. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,725 Posted November 8, 2012 Brucie? Been old forever but still miraculously fit for his age? And in the Clive Dunn mould as a doddery gentleman. Clive would turn in his grave if he thought we had given his spot to Ozzy or Ronnie Biggs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Body Snatcher 44 107 Posted November 8, 2012 The other way to do it would be to retire the number 50 and use 1 to 49 and also number 51 for a DL new favourite. Sure we have to have a true top notch British television comedy star (or BAFTA winner) who would be sorely missed at the time of their passing. I'm thinking in the John Cleese mould, Billy Connolly, maybe Ronnie Corbett or David Jason. Michael Crawford, Richard Wilson (also made a dour programme about death a few years ago), or maybe a woman... Liz Smith, Dawn (she thinks she may die soon) French or even Joanna Lumley? I'd have to agree with this approach - as each current deathlist candidate has taken on a persona of there own and could never really match Clive's status anyway. RIP Clive.

RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted November 8, 2012 If we were going to have a new #50 My suggestion would be to consider Ariel Sharon. He could live in his coma for many years to come. And he is always a good candidate to put on the list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he is always a good candidate to put on the list I don't like the idea of putting someone in a coma on the list. His life chances are purely dependent on someone else keeping him alive. They could decide he was dead at any moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
