Hmm yes i see the problem...but wait a minute It's also reporting that Susan Boyle is leading the race for TIME magazine person of the year http://en.mediamass.net/people/susan-boyle/person-of-the-year.html so maybe it's not a fake/spoof site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RolandDeschain 91 Posted August 31, 2016 Thank God for that! I think she'll see 2018 myself and possibly one to take off next years list (along with Leslie Phillips after that photo showing him looking fairly healthy!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being 95 and having many strokes living in a care home and being a household name as well as allegedly being ill in hospital makes her an very strong choice.

msc 18,477 Posted December 26, 2016 95 is fine innings, and she outlived her TV granddaughter. So, we've never had an 11/50 year, so that suggests there's one more hit in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 26, 2016 Oy, I thought she might die today, after the news of her hospitalization. Saves me the trouble of nervously putting her in my Deathrace team. Never had an 11/50 year, until 2016. Or maybe it will be a 12/50 year this year, still 5 days left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,050 Posted December 26, 2016 Phew, had her for nothing next year except the Deathlist Prediction Game, so I've notified Vaagheid to use my sub and additional sub provided. Tomorrow's daily death shall be... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 26, 2016 Died on the 24th according to Wikipedia. Don't know how reliable that is; I don't feel like reading any obits. Didn't have her on my Shadow List, dammit. Still ahead of the Deathlist by two, though, not bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
