Ideas and Possibilities for 2021

[Steve 596]

So genuinely sorry you lost your mum Toast.

Hatice Cengiz - one of those names that just trips off the tongue

 

Well, it does when she decides to take Saudi royalty to court for murder - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-54619729

Yeah .... even 25 years ago when my mum was diagnosed with it, the survival rate was 80%.  She was in the 20% though. 

 

 

That's horrible - my sympathies go with those expressed above

[Toast 16,130]

Thanks - yes, it was particularly cruel as she had had really bad reactions to the chemo, then halfway through the course they did a scan which showed that the tumour had already shrunk to a fifth of its size.  Much celebration, then the same night she found a little sore on her waist.  It was a secondary cancer and two weeks later she was dead.

That's what lymphoma can do, folks.

Fucking hell, the sellers of life insurance are dying out quicker than they can film new adverts. We'll have Sun Life plugged by Skepta and Jessie J at this rate.

Not sure if he passes the fame threshold, but watching 'Randall and Hopkirk Deceased' I note that Kenneth Cope will be 90 next year. Ironic that he played the ghost when his co-star Mike Pratt succumbed to cancer as long ago as 1976.

[Bibliogryphon 9,570]

Definitely hits the fame threshold though some of the more international posters may disagree.

[Sean 6,313]

Yeah he is famous enough.Was in Randall and Hopkirk Deacesed several Carry On Films and was in Coronation Street for several years (and returned for a while several decades later).

Cope also has had COPD for yearscand to be honest with you, I'm surprised he's still alive.

Annette Andre (Marty Hopkirks wife) is 81.  Just thought I'd throw that in.

Former BBC War Correspondent turned Independent MP Martin Bell looks absolutely awful on Celebrity Pointless plus he is unable to stand.

Plus the show would have been filmed at the beginning of the year at the very latest. He may be even worse now!

Jeff Bridges and Arnold Schwarzengger in 2021?

If that happens, than my childhood has officially died once and for all.  They are like the last two vestiges of my innocent childhood.  lol

[Ulitzer95 12,577]

Worth noting that Scottish folk singer Jock Duncan is still alive. Turning 96 next year.

I don't think he's on the radar for many due to the lack of Wikipedia page but certainly notable and likely to obit.

Picked in the DDP about a decade ago. I assumed he had died, but apparently not.

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

Mervin G. Morris who founded the now defunct Us Dept Store Chain Mervyn's in 1949 turns 101 next year

[Ulitzer95 12,577]

January will mark 10 years since the great Jack LaLanne died, aged 96. Something which I'm still pissed off about because I'm a great believer in his way of living, and I think he could've gone on for another 5-10 years had pneumonia not come at him as hard and fast as it did. (I know, I know... shoulda could woulda... not how life works out!)

Anways...

His widow, Elaine "LaLa" LaLanne will be 95 in March. Still going strong, seems very lively and works out daily.

Famous in her own right as a fitness guru. I can see her getting a qualifying obit in the form of the Mail Online at the very least.

Interview here from a couple of months ago:

Iirc Lalanne was another victim of the curse of deathlist. Someone here, not me, declared he could live to 100, less than a week before he died.

Not a deathlist-kind Of personnality but good for AO deadpool : prince Al-Waleed Bin Khaleb from Saudi Is in coma since 2005. 
He managed to move his hand for the first time in 15 years a few days ago. One to look after.

Linked the wrong person. can't make up if the sleeping pricne you refer to is dead or not.

[maryportfuncity 10,642]

John Bream likely broke the world record for the highest official jump with no parachute (I mean, there are unwitting survivors of suicide attempts who may have a better claim  but aren't that likely to come forward, but you get my point). Either way, he was briefly unconscious as a result.

 

BBC page has a clickbait to the side for the longest wheelie on a motorbike

 

You get where this is going, a bit like Hilary Lister and other envelope pushers, this stuff won't always end well, right?
