msc 18,476 Posted June 6, 2016 Reet, I think Birmingham Six Paddy Hill should be on the list next year. He's photographed looking fairly chipper on their Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Six But he looked like shit when he attended the decision to re-open the inquest. Looks like a wasting cancer/smoker case He's been looking quite rough for years. Mind you, those conditions and stress can't have been conducive to longevity, as seen by Gerry Conlon's death a year or two back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted June 6, 2016 Is anyone worried about Kris Kristofferson? Cause I read he was diagnosed with lyme disease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted June 6, 2016 Is anyone worried about Kris Kristofferson? Cause I read he was diagnosed with lyme disease Aye, I was thinking about him cos he's 80 this year but that Highwaymen documentary I saw on Friday included a comment from someone who worked on that tour who said the tour bus would pull up for the others to have a snack and Kristofferson would get off, start running and they'd catch him up about an hour later. So, he's probably got a passable heart and lung combi for a guy in his line of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched that Highwaymen concert on BBC4 last night. Great stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted June 8, 2016 Big fan of Glynis Johns getting a DL proper call-up tbh. Good call Spade and as one currently studying a news photograph of Paddy - Birmingham Six - Hill I'm reckoning here and now he's on my teams if he has a sniff of seeing 2017 Whether an ordinary guy who just got caught up in circumstances is a fit DL candidate is another matter entirely Who'd want that crushing weight of DL committee responsibility, eh?

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted June 8, 2016 I've been thinking, and I'm wondering if Magic Johnson should be on the death list soon. I mean, he had AIDS for over 25 years now, and I don't think he has that much longer to live. At max, I'd give him 10 years, and he may live 15 if lucky, but I think he'll be dead in 5 to 6 years. I say he coming close to the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see how you can't know he had AIDS He is HIV+ and takes a cocktail of drugs every day to prevent the progression to AIDS. As long as he keeps taking the drugs and maintains a healthy lifestyle he's likely to live a full life eventually dying with being HIV+ and not because of it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he had the latter he might be a worthy DL candidate, as it currently stands he'd be a space-waster. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Morrison (who was an Aids denialist and thought he could cure it by rubbing leaves on himself)... is that it? Your right. Not many people died this century either, with the biggest names dying were Michael Jeter (who played Mr. Noodle in Elmo's world), and Peter McWilliams, who was a marijuana activists, so your right.

If we're looking for sure-fire DL candidates let's go with cancer, age, self-indulent lifestyles, wanted by the mafia and history of mental illness. My first draft for next years Deathlist will be published on the 1st August and you'll see the kind of DL fodder we're after. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
