Sir Creep 7,071 Posted September 18, 2016 I know he has his own thread hereabouts but it's been fairly uneventful for a while so it might be pertinent to post here and alert newbies to the continuing marginal hold on life enjoyed by Rabbi Lionel Blue, highly obitable and suffering a triple whammy of serious health problems Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Blue#Health Isn't he the chap who went on the radio and said he was totally not going to see his 80th birthday? And he's 86 now. Aye, but he's not a Zsa Zsa job, more lucky that medical science did more for him than he thought possible. But, like David Crosby, he's collecting fatal conditions. Just a question of when. That can be said of all of us. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,363 Posted September 20, 2016 Not a bad list.I do think that Hawking Tyler Moore and Noakes should all be kept on the list next year though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,682 Posted September 20, 2016 Aye, and the only thing keeping Vera Lynn on the radar is the date on her birth certificate (which is written on vellum and only intelligible if you are fluent in ancient Anglo Saxon). She's chipper enough every time BBC Radio want a comment on something 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RolandDeschain 91 Posted September 20, 2016 I think I'd substitute Gazza for Brucie in that list. Who's most likely to see 2018 out of those 2? This may be a pick that is judged 'too early' by many but has anyone thought Barbara Shelley may be a decent pick for next year. Just about the only main Hammer horror star left and is 85 next year (DOB 13/02/1932). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted September 20, 2016 I can see Tutu, La Motta and Carter all making it to 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,263 Posted September 20, 2016 You guys definitely have great arguments and here is my responses to them Hawking: His ALS is getting worse, and I was thinking if it should be him or Gazza. I've decided to go with the latter Tyler Moore: Her health is getting worse, but I think it's too early Noakes: He's one of those that close, but didn't make my cut Forsyth: Same goes for him as well. Now for candidates you guys want to replace Gazza: He keeps abusing drugs, and it keeps getting worse. I'd keep him Tutu: Right now he's constantly in and out of the hospital. It may take a turn for the worse in the future Lamotta: He's one of those will he won't he candidates Carter: This is one that shouldn't be droppped for sure. He may be cancer free now, but it could easily com back in the future. Of course, we can agree to disagree, but this is what I think. In reality though, at least two of the picks I said would be dead by the end of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,263 Posted September 28, 2016 Question for everyone right now. What people do you see as a dead cert right now. Right now I'm seeing Gord Downie, Pier Sellers, and Errol Christie. EDIT: I know there's more, but those are the three that came to mind right now Frency Martin Smith Hart Craig Sager SHIMON PERES Sir Colin Meads.
