Who Should Be On The 2018 Deathlist?

[Joey Russ 7,267]

I feel like this year more of the 'certs' seem deathlisty than last year. I mean, Bracknell is guaranteed to return if she sees the year out and McCain, Newton-John, and Tsvangirai are no brainers, but Liam Miller is also deathlisty considering that the deathlist does have a thing for football while Stefansson does seem to have a big enough of a cult following especially on the forum that I think the committee might stick him on next year. Hell, even Patrick Cryne has a deathlisty vibe to him, so I say they're definitely spoiled for choice next year...

Only person I'd absolutely guarantee the Cmme will go for in that post is Bracknell.

 

Bar McCain, the rest have nearly a 0% chance.

Even Olivia Newton-John?

*nods*

[Joey Russ 7,267]

I would honestly doubt they would ignore all those names above especially since they went for the likes of Errol Christie and Gord Downie this year...

[CaptainChorizo 1,991]

Keep in mind they didn't go for Colin Meads who is considered one of NZ's top Rugby Players of all time,someone like Cryne is not a lock to get picked since he is probably only known to deadpooler's and people in Barnsley or people  who support a lower league side that has a history against Barnsley FC.  Cryne's fame level is notches even below Christie or Downie who some thought were iffy choices

[Death Impends 8,043]

My gut feeling is now that they've finally shattered the previous record, the DL will go more leisurely next year and not stock up on many terminal cases. Keeping Brackers and adding McCain/ONJ, maybe Tessa Jowell.

What he said.

 

Thinking more Bernard Hepton, less Patrick Cryne. Of course, I did say "no Brackers, no Downie, no Meads and no Christie" last December and turned out wrong on 3 of the 4, so what do I know? Nothing.

 

 

 

[Lewd_Squirrel 331]

Why not just wait until I finish adding the new names to my list, then create a list from that?  lol

[Sean 6,368]

Olivia Newton -John is truly a list material and automatically famous enough for the DL.Beggars belief that anyone is questioning the point.Same with John McCain .

 

Tessa Jowell strikes me as a name the DL are highly likely to go for.If you aren't British you won't have heard of her but those in England who are my age and older will know exactly who she is.Former New Labour cabinet minister under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown who oversaw London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympics .Was an MP for well over 20 years and is now in the house of Lords. A regular media presence until recently and applied unsuccessfully to run for London Mayor last year.She is a nailed on obit gainer from every national and London based paper and will make TV news bulletins when she goes .

[Sean 6,368]

And by obit I mean a proper old fashioned write up.

[Sean 6,368]

Liam Miller I reckon could sneak a space on the list but it depends how many committee members had heard of him before his illness.Stefannson I think might scrape on as the media attention has increased rapidly over the year and has demonstrated how well regarded he is to young adults of a certain age.That and he is almost a cert.

 

Cryne would be a good name but can't help think the fact he doesn't have a wiki will make the committee decide against him.

[msc 18,543]

 

That's as close to Word from God as you're going to get on Stefan Karl. He isn't going on the list.

[Sean 6,368]

Yeah unlikely but the committee may have a change of heart.They are spoilt for choice though anyhow.

Only 21 days and 42 mins to wait.

 

Well, I say that, no doubt it'll leak early as usual...

Pretty nice list

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,368]

Sean Connery for definite. Would not be great for two James Bonds to be missed by the committee. 

[Sean 6,368]

Trying to write up my official shadow list.It is a nightmare.So many great choices.

Hey currently on the Crowdsourced, once you eliminate the joke entrants, there's around...350 legit potential contenders... and only 50 spots. And that's with folk ignoring some folk who will go on the Deathlist or could have. Or other big name famous old folk who get lost in the shuffle.

[Sean 6,368]

I am down to around 100 currently.Cutting down from that is very tough though.

[msc 18,543]

Why not pick Thomas Schafernaker or however you spell his name? I am told by a reliable journalistic source (Deathray) that he might walk out in front of a tsunami on live TV sometime in 2018 or something.

[Sean 6,368]

He isn't on my shortlist.
