Chopped Liver 53 Posted January 17, 2016 Anyway, the only English one in there is Elton John. Come to think of it, given his elevated chances of contracting AIDS, he may be a good bet!Would you care to elaborate?Homosexuals have been scientifically proven to be more likely to contracting several STDs. Including homosexuals in monogamous relationships? Homework for the young'un. (I) Find out the difference between HIV infection and AIDS. (II) Research the incidence of HIV infection worldwide. (III) Explain your findings to Charlie Sheen. Yep, old Elton will be far safer than say a 13 year old who will be shitting himself when he sees his Tory run Cub group have a visit scheduled to the Radio 1 studios in March. Lol. An idiot as well. Top tip for when you become an adult. If you want to win an argument / prove a point etc, never ever ever use "scientifically proven" as that phrase means you are 100% bullshitting. More lifestyle advice next time from the DL's 50 something non parent okay, I get it, i know fuck all, thanks very much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted January 17, 2016 What about the American actor Dean Stockwell? *Is approaching his 80th birthday *Suffered a fall and a stroke in May 2015 *It's being implied that he has bouts of dementia as a result of the above *Supposedly, his ex-wife Joy contradicts her own name by taking advantage of his fortune and keeps him isolated *Doctors' prognosis from Summer 2015 was that he doesn't have that many years left Source: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001777/board/thread/250065456 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Numpty 3 Posted January 19, 2016 Two famous English men have died aged 69 this year. Wonder will there be a third? Tim Curry? Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees? Chris Tarrant? The Gibb clan appear to be of low grade stock with few surviving to their 60's unless of course it is a result of a curse inflicted on them for their involvement in Saturday Night Fever in the 1970's . .

Shroud 19 Posted January 21, 2016 I understand that actress Sheila Sim, Lady Attenborough died on January 20, 2016 - another miss for the DL committee. I really believe the committee needs to listen to suggestions a bit closer, although I realize the year is very young. No doubt the DL 50 for 2016 will score several successes in the year simply due to the age and/or health of many of them. Unfortunately, I agree Dean Stockwell is a likely prospect for the fairly-near future. His brother Guy passed some years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you've been here a bit longer, you'll realise that the Committee please themselves. They don't have an obligation to listen to any of us. I'm grateful to them for providing this forum where we can discuss other deadpools - and natter, fight and banter amongst ourselves about anything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noel Neill. The former Superman actress turns 96 this year. Michele Morgan, French actress, also turns 96. Mary Midgley, author of 'Beast and Man', turns 97. Yasuhiro Nakasone. Former Japanese PM is turning 98. Another aging politician, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, turns 98 this year too! Fay McKenzie, former Hollywood star, will also be 98 Sticking on the theme of Prime Ministers, Do Muoi of Vietnam turns 99 this year. Prince Misaka of Japan turns 101 this year Gardnar Mulloy, former tennis player, turns 101 this year! Native American historian, Joe Medicine Crow, will be 103 this year. John McCain's mother, Roberta, will make it to 104 if she survives this year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
