rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted March 26, 2016 Surely Ken Dodd at 88 is likely to go to the great variety theatre in terms sky soon? Doddy's second house performance is legendary for going on for forever. Don't count on him finishing his last monologue any time soon missus! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Beverly Cleary is turning 100 in a couple weeks. She's not necessarily in failing health other than being ancient, but certainly one to consider if you are out of ideas come 2017. If she is around for 2017, im sure, the 'committee' will be over that one like a tramp on a fucking sandwich. Don't let anybody tell you that they don't go to all corners of the globe in their search for a easy potential hit................................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TodayAndTomorrow Posted March 29, 2016 Am I the one who think that Hugh Jackman is likely to die next year even if he claims to be in good health ? http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/ve-felt-like-underdog-admits-Hugh-Jackman-star/story-29006862-detail/whatson/story.html He had cancer several times before reaching 50!

drol 11,945 Posted April 2, 2016 Chinese linguist Zhou Youguang, father of the pinyn, would be a good choiche. I would also consider italian art critic Gillo Dorfles, Hungarian-Canadian chess player Zoltan Sarosy, Mexican actress Lupita Tovar. I'm joking, none of them will make it to 2017! But I still think Jonathan Demme will not live many years... and I think the same thing about Roger Corman, Kenneth Kaunda, Dawda Jawara, Abdoulaye Wade (random guys), H D Stanton, M Emmett Walsh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,945 Posted April 3, 2016 Gillo Dorfles is really famous in Italy as an immortal zombie like painter Giorgio Michetti (b. 1912) and architect L. Caccia Dominioni (b. 1913). At least one of them will not see 2017, but I'm doubtful about their mortality... Former Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (b. 1920) is not in good health and he may die this year, while Giorgio Napolitano, former communist dictator, is very well and will reach 110 (evil guys don't die, you know). Radical politician Marco Pannella (b. 1930) is finally dying of cancer and I think former Prime Minister Arnaldo Forlani (b. 1925) is not so healthy as well. If Ciampi makes it to 2017 he would be a good choice for a sure death. The other men I cited are not enough famous to have their deaths announced in UK.

Guest drol Unlogged Posted April 3, 2016 German aviator Erich Rudorffer (b. 1917) and U-Boot Commander Reinhard Hardgen (b. 1913), two living heroes of the WWII are good picks indeed. No one considers Rudorffer and I don't know why. Plus I want to remember to you that Karl Otto Gotz (b. 1914), Hans Albert (b. 1921), Karl Otto Apel (b. 1922) are all still alive (this fucking computer started writing this way, I'm sorry).

Cloris and Ed look really bad in the photos, but if they can star in a new TV show, their health can't be that bad. Florence looks fantastic. None of them should be considered for next year (is there a thread for "non-possibilities for 2017"?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
