Ideas And Possibilities For 2014

[msc 18,439]

Decided to drop Sandy Jardine, Judy Blume, Nicholas Edwards, Roy Mason, Danny Kirwan, Bob Dole, Ali, Michael Jopling, Mark Eden, Derek Martinus and Freddie Starr. Most of them either seem on the mend, better than expected or just likely to live into 2015.

 

Of those, Martinus might be worth a punt for a dithering late DDP team, as he remains quite seriously ill and obit assured due to his TV work.

 

(Now watch them all die in 2014 out of spite.)

I think the list has been compiled, and is already "sealed" so to speak. And it can only be unsealed through a bizarre ceremony involving a Rabbi wearing a magical gold ring, and a midget biting the heads off of two live chickens.

Does I.M. Pei still live in China? Maybe the pollution will get to him in 2014.

Could be wrong but I believe ol' Ieoh Ming resides in America now. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a few years left yet though, knowing architects and longevity seem to go hand in hand.

Are you not a bit early for suggestions for 2015 ?

 

The 2014 list has already been picked

[Guest Gues]

Definitely:

 

Michael Schumacher

Wilko Johnson

[Deathray 2,940]

At this rate almost anybody attending the Sochi winter olympics!

Something else that's grimly funny is that there's clear dead pooling confusion between the two obviously obitable Stuart Halls. What's ironic is that the convicted rapist is the white one and the famous academic is the black one, particularly ironic since as an academic involved in Cultural Studies he spent years trying to challenge ideas about cultural stereotypes; would anyone involved in dead pooling have the balls to ring academic Stuart and seek his opinion on this matter?

Surely Michael Schumacher has to put pole position for Death List 2014

Will be interesting to see how many late entries take a punt on Brian May now.

Could be a possibility if its spread to the bones from somewhere else. But if its primary bone cancer ,leukemia or lymphoma and hasn't spread from elsewhere then I think it would take him over a year to die. Then again there might be nothing wrong with him lol .

It strikes me as an all or nothing punt - if its bone cancer, he's fecked. If he's OK, he's ok and its a wasted pick. But like Sally Becker, it is curious to see which teams - and someone will - pick either on the off-chance its an inspired pick.

Imagine two Bonds dying in the same year

[Guest Diceman]

Brian May will under go a test of his bones in the coming hours

[Guest David Young]

How late in the year can a person be added to the list? Does 2014 have to have started somewhere in the world for the list to be officially sealed?

 

If Michael Schumacher died late on New Year's Eve 2013 GMT, he would count as a death of 2014 in one time zone and of 2013 in another.

Guest Guest Fart is a pretty good username, tbh

[Imelda 621]

So the Nags has called time for their late afternoon break before the carnage of the NYE party, which means DP submission time.

 

Hanging on re Schumacher may have paid off, so subbed the following:

 

1. General Wojciech Jaruzelski (turning into my personal Biggs)

2. Wilko Johnson

3. Sam Simon

4. Billy Graham

5. Rev. Ian Paisley

6. Denis Norden

7. Chris Woodhead

8. Mohamed Morsi

9. Peter O'Sullevan

10. Valerie Harper

 

And just in case we get another 'Fortune' as it may be called from now on...

 

R.1 Cliff Michelmore

R.2 Vivean Gray AKA Mrs Mangel

 

Currently four of us with 5 of our 10 chalked off for the 2013 competition. People are starting to take this DP lark a bit too seriously compared to a couple of years back

Would you like me enter this into the HPDP mix for you?

I don't understand why they don't just register, it takes two minutes.

Doris Day, Mary Taylor Moore look as if they are not doing so well
