rockhopper penguin 2,264 Posted November 21, 2016 What about the Clintons ? Hillary is rumored to be ill and Bill had serious health issues years ago. They are almost 70. Hillary no she is not going anywhere and bill does look a bit frail but I wouldn't consider him for the list. But he could be the first president since El bj to die below 80. "El bj"? I see what you did there why does toast have more likes than me?!? I am the one who came up with the joke you clowns!!!!Maybe it's your inherent charm.

Sir Creep 7,033 Posted November 21, 2016 Arizona Cardinals (NFL) head coach Bruce Arians has been hospitalized twice in the past couple months with chest pains. I understand we've had a couple sports-related Americans this year in the List of the Lost, but I don't think a head coach should fear missing a U.K. Obit (see Dennis Green this year). Would be an interesting pick by the committee just to change things up a little, they got 49 other picks to be stodgy and hackneyed with.

GossipGabe 333 Posted November 22, 2016 Downloaded Planet Earth 2 in 1080p, and the one thing I took away was Sur David is bloated in the face. Must've been filmed last year, so gotta be a contender. Sir David was recently interviewed on one of em YouTube channels.* He seemed to still possess his marbles (and as healthy as a 90 year old could get), although he might have intended PE2 to be his swan song. *Interview from 3:00 (you might wanna fast forward cause it's quite boring): 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,941 Posted November 23, 2016 Oh, he still is lucid, but HD filming is never kind to folk. And you're bang on the mark that PE2 is his 'legacy'. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,133 Posted November 23, 2016 My take on this page is that it's a place to post possibilities for any death pool in the coming year. It is my favorite thread because I sometimes get a nugget of information I can use.This is why I suggested it.

msc 17,933 Posted November 23, 2016 I still think this could be solved by a Fantasy booking the Deathlist thread. Then all year round folk could do these "25 I'd axe" etc role playing to their hearts content, and leave the Ideas thread for actual Ideas. That's just me, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh.........hang on....... There is normally a "Who should be on the Deathlist 20XX?" post put up at this time of year, someone put one up a few weeks ago and the mods after years of a convention being set that I&PF20XX and WSBOTD20XX ran concurrently for the last month of the year, had a change of heart. There is a Deathlist shadowlists thread, although that serves a slightly different function to the WSBOTD20XX thread in that it's for entire shadowlist, not names we think should be on there. The idea of WSBOTD20XX appeared to be it'd be the one the committee'd actually bother reading, because I&PF20XX was normally far too long to bother there arses with. It's worked for a number of years, I'm not normally one to ask what the f**k the mods/admins are doing, as it's actually their site and their rules, but come on guys what the f**k - with the above considered - is the justification for shutting the WSBOTD20XX thread - I'm starting thing the poster who posted might have been on the unfair end of prejudgement based on it being him who postedm and the mods, rather than admitting their error are starting to hope the issues disappears. Just let us have both threads please, like we have every other effing year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,229 Posted November 23, 2016 Here's ten names I feel are worthy of consideration by others (and indeed the committee) for whatever list your doing. Some of the names I'm a bit surprised aren't more popular choices previously. Anyway just some suggestions The Dowager Duchess of Grafton - 96 year old aristocrat guaranteed an obituary in The Daily Telegraph and pretty much The Times also. Lord Snowden 86 year old ex husband of Princess Margaret Hans Rausing SNR 90 year old Swedish billionaire who inherited the lucrative Tetrapak empire Burt Bacharach Pierre Cardin 94 year old Italian born French Fashion designer Moon Landrieu 86 year old Former US Secretary of housing and Urban development in Jimmy Carter's cabinet. Guaranteed a broadsheet obituary imo Tam Dalyell former Labour MP and "originater " of the famous "West Lothian question" 87 year old golden era Hollywood star Arlene Dahl 89 year old Oscar winning actor Sidney Poitier-also notable for being the first African American actor to win a best actor Oscar.
