Ideas And Possibilities For 2018

[msc 18,448]

Folk said he was in poor health when he went on the list. The obits said he'd been in ill health for a while. There was clearly a case for inclusion, they just picked the wrong year. Close to Elaine Stritch and her stomach cancer, in a way.

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

But to the deathlist he was just some geezer.

I feel like a lot of these names don't feel deathlisty. Zandvliet, Bannister, Lloyd, and  Big Van Vader don't feel like the type the committee would pick. Others aren't that ill, and some, such as Gasciogne and Samson wouldn't really be good picks. Oh, and I'm assuming Leah Bracknell would be #4

Crikey Bannister definitely is.He is a household name in Britain.The 4 minute mile is referenced a lot on TV and popular culture in general.Oh Billy Graham was 4 just left him out.

[msc 18,448]

Bannister certainly would, one of the biggest names in British 20th Century sport.

[Death Impends 7,975]

Bannister was even a draft pick on the 2006 DeathList! However he got booted out after Alfredo Di Stefano had a heart attack.

 

(I'm aware of this because the DL 2006 draft had a thread on the super secret mod board - but alas, not many other DL years had them, so I'm afraid I can't provide many other historical nuggets in this vein )

[msc 18,448]

I saw that, back on the day we all got onto the mod forum by accident for 30 mins. Some folk posted joke threads, I went right to try and find the historical Deathlist threads.

 

Uhm, allegedly, if that were such a thing I'd do.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

Ah, I should look into more details for some of these people.  

[Toast 16,140]

We even have a Roger Bannister coin in circulation.

This year feels like a bit of a transition/ build up to another flood of deaths next year. Nearly half way through and honestly its been a very slow. Even dead certs like the king of Romania and Leah bracknell look like they have a good chance of surviving until next year. I never chose Leah though as I just thought  less than 14 months from diagnosis to death was too soon. Especially with her determined attitude. Apart from Tara Palmer Tompkinson has there really be a surprising or shocking death?

Tim Piggott-Smith  Graham Taylor and Ugo Ehiogu are the only shocks that spring to mind.

 

 

[Joey Russ 7,227]

Chuck Berry somewhat, considering he was very active until his demise, although he was 90.

[RadGuy 1,614]

Bill Paxton and Erin Moran too.

[Zsa Zsa's leg 884]

Al Jarreau, Erin Moran, Bill Paxton

Olivia Newton John allegedly becoming increasingly bedbound. 

 

Perhaps worth considering for 2018.

She's performing in my area soon. I know people who are seeing her. If she can still perform with sciatica she's probably fine.

Rather than an update on Ms N-J's health, I think that story was mainly an excuse for the Mail to post pictures of her daughter's tits.

What's with the extra 25 spaces at the bottom?

[Szabaka 93]

Tony Bennett?  Other than a "mild flu" (which, if that is understated would kill him in 2017) I see no reason for him to be on the list for 2018.   He is very active.
