CaptainChorizo 1,990 Posted January 1, 2018 3 minutes ago, gcreptile said: Oh, and I think 15 hits are realistic. I doub it,there are a lot less guranteed cancer hits on the DL 50 like Joost, Downie,Christie etc. this year. Single digits is more likely then 15+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted January 1, 2018 This could be a prolific year because 20 + 18 = 38. If you add up the numerical value of each letter in 'death' (ie 4+5+1+20+8) it also comes to 38.So this could literally be the year of death ! If no 38 on the list Sean Connery is the first to go that'll be really spooky ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
openviews 334 Posted January 1, 2018 I though maybe Fernando Ricksen might have been included this year. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDavidSteel 15 Posted January 1, 2018 There's a variety of different people on this list. A couple who I really don't think will go anywhere THIS year, then there's a few who are on my own personal list it just happens. Also, there's a bit much in way of centenarians (I only allowed myself 1 for my list. Too many extreme old people make it too easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,236 Posted January 1, 2018 I think they'll probably break double digits, cause there are still a fair few certs on the list. But I can't see them breaking the record this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 886 Posted January 1, 2018 I think it's likely they have single digits this year. as somebody said in the temporary chatroom some of the healthiest 90 year olds found their way on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,347 Posted January 1, 2018 Unless my drunken eyes are deceiving me the committee was brave enough to drop the Queen. I compliment them on having the courage! A little surprised and disappointed at the absence of Mary Wilson I was never likely to agree with all of their picks so hey ho etc! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebless 203 Posted January 1, 2018 Interesting list this time around, sensible decision to drop the Queen, as expected Clive James returns but oddly way down the pecking order but dropping Stiles is the mother of all gambles. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they didn't put Nobby Stiles in...now that's a bit bizarre. I reckon 14/50. well, the average age of the 50 new nominated is by 87.42 so its almost exactly the same as in the previous year 2017, which was 87.38 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,083 Posted January 1, 2018 Well my DL prediction is down the swanee again. Pretty good list. Surprised they stuck with Cardin as he seems destined for another three years imo. But I'm inevitably wrong. Good luck Committee. If Richard Baker dies this year, I claim my five pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomTomTelekom 3,728 Posted January 1, 2018 The list is solid, but nothing more. I think it would have taken the following people on the list to break the record, they are must-takes:Nobby Stiles, Stefan Karl Stefansson, Liam Miller, Carl Ikeme, Fernando Ricksen, Charlotte Rae, Stephan Hillenbourg or Dilip Kumar ....But well, there is only room for 50 people, so let's wait and see ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 8,010 Posted January 1, 2018 Very much has the look of a peaceful stroll now that the record has finally been shattered. I was almost right on the money with the terminals they picked (I assumed Bracknell/McCain/ONJ and maybe Jowell) except I didn't predict Linda Nolan. Stiles a disappointing drop. Ian St John right above Jimmy Greaves a nice touch. Stirling Moss, Barbara Bush and Neil Simon good additions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 1, 2018 Think 10-11 hits is a likely outcome. It will take a few years to come close to 2017, so it's better to keep our expectations low. Wonder why they keep ignoring Gorbachev, though...he won't last much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
