Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

[Windsor 2,142]

I've put my rather uninspiring list for 2017 on my signature.

 

Regarding the Trump debate I have put him on my top 50 because:

 

- If you compare him to past US presidents, he is more out of shape than all of them bar Bush Snr.

- Despite his billionaire status he is known to be a fan of fast food.

- We still haven't seen a credible medical which he refused to release during the campaign.

- Despite the ring of security around him assassination is still a possibility.

- As discussed, I wouldn't rule out an inside job either (and I say that as someone who hates conspiracy theories).

 

Besides...its all good fun just to add him for shits and giggles...

You should post more often. Good to see you again.

[Windsor 2,142]

Thanks.

 

I'm going to have to alter my list. Forgot about King Michael of Romania...

 

Clearly I'm slipping up with the Royals.

Good to see you around Windsor.

 

Your shadow list should certainly see at least hits, imo.

 

EDIT - at least ten hits, although the typo raises a smile.

[Windsor 2,142]

Well done on your 3,000 post.

 

[msc 17,712]

Thanks. Not sure where that came from - think I've been using this forum to procrastinate a hell of a lot in 2016...

[openviews 240]

Thanks.

Did you consider Gord Downie, not a big name in the UK but his goodbye concert received alot of coverage at the time.

No idea he had parkinsons:Good call.I hope that when his time comes there is an accidental mispronounciation of his name on the News at Ten.

Tony Booth deserves to be in the top 10 on the 2017 list.

[Lewd_Squirrel 309]

Ralph Bakshi

I'd say that a mispronunciation is a dead cert

Pretty solid list you got there, will have significant overlap with my own personal 2017 list for sure.

Great list I would bring back Cardin Mugabe Brady and Kennedy as well though.

Debbie Reynolds should be on there. Carrie was on the way to visit her when she had the heart attack. Grief and guilt...

 

Agreed. And wasn't she already in frail health before Carrie's death? Can't see the poor lady hanging on much longer.

No, according to this, she has braced herself for Carrie's death many times in the past: http://people.com/movies/inside-carrie-fishers-complicated-relationship-with-mom-debbie-reynolds-and-their-close-bond-before-her-death/

Looks as if Debbie Reynolds has suffered a stroke: http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/debbie-reynolds-suffers-stroke-reports-say/news-story/e27330ed3ea7ebf08e041f67b94771ab

Is Debbie Reynolds famous enough for the nr.1 spot?

[Joey Russ 7,118]

For Debbie Reynolds when she goes, Three Little Words: Rest In Peace.

[The Mad Hatter 1,091]

I'm proud to unveil my 2017 attempt.

Is Debbie Reynolds famous enough for the nr.1 spot?

Unquestionably.

[Sean 5,997]

Was just saying earlier to a friend I wonder if Carrie`s death will finish off Debbie.

Unquestionably.

I've just started a new topic for Debbie, if mods would like to merge posts.

[Joey Russ 7,118]

With Reynolds death, I reckon Douglas will be number one as an achievement. That is if 2016 doesn't get him

Due to the death of Debbie Reynolds, Donald Trump finds himself promoted to my DDP (he happened to be number 21 on the list and so was put as a sub). If any other members of my DDP die, the Duke of Edinburgh was number 22 so...

 

In place of Reynolds, who took the place of Carrie Fisher, I have added Mario Soares to my shadow list. See how long that lasts.
