Who Should Be On The 2016 Deathlist?

[gcreptile 10,966]

Jimmy - people get bored of picking Zsa Zsa and Jimmy made sure EVERYONE notices his illness.

[Deathray 2,940]

who do people think will make number 1?

 

Jimmy carter? maybe Zsa Zsa?

 

Zsa Zsa should really be 50 rather than 1. Carter bumped to 1.

[Bibliogryphon 9,571]

Is Chris Rea worth including. Seems to be in terrible health.

I was considering bumping the Rea thread last week when I learned that he still apparently has his cancer.

[gcreptile 10,966]

If the Death List wants to replace Helmut Schmidt with a similar character (if he dies...) they could go for other "forefathers of the Euro". I'm thinking of Valerie Giscard D'Estaing or Jacques Delors. In the latter case, it's also completely obvious that the Death List headline would be some kind of "Up Yours, Delors" joke. And they would both cover the "token french" slot, which was unoccupied this year. Both of them still seem semi-active though, but that was true for Helmut Schmidt as well.

Delors would be a good choice for the 2016 list

Kinda hard to keep Ali on the list seeing as he isn't on it now. I stopped reading instantly, sorry.

SC

 

Edit: upon a second glance nothing you've posted makes sense. Moving on...

[msc 18,438]

He's talking about his own deadpool rather than the Deathlist, I think.

[TomTomTelekom 3,727]

@Sir Creep, with all due respect to your intellectual problem, but at the beginning I explicitly pointed out that I am referring primarily to my own Death List.
But anyway.... there are listed sufficient potential candidates for 2016 DL. So take it or leave it!

 

Regards

Tom

[Lewd_Squirrel 331]

S'ok, Sir Creep prefers the speak before you think method. Honestly, I think that he's actually the leader of the guests, in disguise. lol.

[maryportfuncity 10,645]

Soon to be 98 year old Diana Athill is fairly lucid and healthy, despite a minor heart attack recently, in a lengthy Guardian interview promoting her 8th volume of memoirs today.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Ayatollah Khamenei could be one to consider.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Ayatollah Khamenei could be one to consider.

Ya think? He's not on 2016 list the supposed expert 'committee' is a sham. Not to give away a DDP pick but frankly anyone not having the Ayattolah on their list needs to leave now and come back after more training.

Definitely worth a shot.If she suffers any further heart problems she is probably going to be to old for surgery .Also she has a slow growing tumour on her kidney and likewise if that worsens treatment options would no doubt be limited. Plus she has stopped writing so may just give up now!

Yeah, but she stopped writing after her seventh volume of autobiography; until she was persuaded to give it a go again.

 

I reckon she'll see 2017 and may well see 100. Tough old bird.

[Mercarte 145]

My suggestion:

 

Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (95), former italian president.

René de Obaldia (97), french playwright.

Georg Ratzinger (91), german priest and brother of the former Pope.

Charlotte Rae (89), american actress.

[maryportfuncity 10,645]

Georg Ratzinger (91), german priest and brother of the former Pope

 

Hmm, I like the cut of your jib. Traditionally obitable or not, that's a one liner in some national paper because of his brother.

That would be more of a Deathrace or chancy DDP pick than one for the main list. IMO

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

My suggestion:

 

Charlotte Rae (89), american actress.

She is currently promoting a book on the us talk show circuit. Seems in very good health,would be extremely shocked if she died in the next year.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Do you guys think Rene Angelil is famous enough for the Deathlist?

[Death Impends 7,963]

He doesn't have any real fame beyond being Celine Dion's hubby and manager, not really a recognizable personality on his own. I doubt he'd be considered DL material.

[Sean 6,314]

Do you guys think Rene Angelil is famous enough for the Deathlist?

Just about as he is a talent manager of a big star.Yes he would not be so well known if he wasn`t married to her but I think that is besides the point.

Probably more famous for being expected to die, which rules him out imo.
