Ok, i`m taking part in a dead pool for next year and i just wondered if any forumites know of any newsworthy people in ill health? If i get a few good suggestions and i win some prize money i`ll donate it to the site for some sort of competition. My list so far:

Vincent O`Brien (b.1917)
Rick Parfitt (b.1948)
Stephen King (b.1946)
Ariel Sharon (b.1928)
Stan Musial (b.1920)
Pete Doherty (b.1979)
Dominic Chianese (b.1931)
Sir Tom Finney (b.1922)
Lou Reed (b.1942)
Diego Maradona (b.1960)

Final list has to be in by midnight on 31st.
 
Pete Doherty & Diego Maradona - :lol:

Hmm, I'll give some thought as to who I'll go for. Will get back to you - have had some great laughs doing death pools in the past!
 
Shurely (hic!) Shane McGowan should be in any rashpicktable Dead Pool? Though the bugger's hung on to wreck mine!

Margaret Thatcher (attention-seeking old moo HAD to 'feel faint' the day after daughter Carol won the 'Get Me Out of Here' show!) :angry:

Gary Glitter - you never know, the Viets might just decide to pop him anyway!

Sir Peter O'Sullevan - not wishing it on the dear old luv, but he's cracking on a bit. Could well do a Rooster Booster before year's end.

Ian Bradely - for all of his so-called fasts to death, perhaps the foul nonce will have the guts to go through with one next time.

Muhammad Ali - poor sausage.

Charlie Egerton - if he gets any fatter, he'll explode and kill dozens. Man looks like Mr. Blobby, but far less funny (and that was saying very, very little!).
 
How about Stephen Hawking? I think you've got a good 'un with Sharon, considering recent blips and his obesity. Good luck! :D
 
Don't you mean an 'arsesassination', jft? :lol: But yes, yes, please!

He really, really, really drove me bonkers this week. The over-schoolboyish squealing over every single thing just made me want to reach into the screen and hold him very tightly by the throat for a few minutes. Doesn't anyone on here have a contact in the ATR studio - couldn't we have a fritzy little moment with the mike 'mis-wired' mysteriously to the mains? Please? Pretty, pretty please?
 
Yesterday there was the revolting You are de men rappers salute to Carberry and Hourigan

An act of arseness in the highest Thommo echelons
 
Yes, I think he's the leading contender to wrest the crown from Tommo's head. If he could manage to wrest the head off at the same time, so much the better! :lol:

What IS it about ATR, though, with their infantile diminutives of people's names? 'Boycie' for God's sake - he's a grown man with kids, not an ickle-wickle kiddywinkle! Can you imagine Peter O'Sullevan, back in the glory days, being called 'Sully', or Raymond Glendenning 'Glenny'? They're dreadful footballisms, I suppose. I can't wait for the day he calls Ms Knight 'Henny', and Terry B. 'old Biddy'! :lol:
 
Peter O'Sullevan must be one of the fittest 87 year olds on the planet. There must be better bets at a similar age. I'd nominate Kirk Douglas.

And do you not think that Saddam Hussein's trial will be over in 2006?
 
My neighbour, Helen Johnson Houghton is 95 and still in full possession of her marbles. So I will not suggest adding her as she still looks pretty full of life - still drives, lives on her own and does much of her own gardening - a remarkable lady.
 
Sadly, Helen doesn't count as famous enough, despite being the first woman to train a classic winner in Britain. Is Kath Walwyn still alive?
 
Prince Philip is getting on a bit isn't he? I'd put him and Margaret Thatcher on the list.
 
Mary Hayley Bell, Can not forsee the old girl seeing out another year, surprised she has lasted this long....Shame.
 
Been having a think about it, come up with the following so far :

Elizabeth Taylor
Ronnie Biggs
Patrick Moore

and a coupla outsiders in

Rod Stewart
Paul McCartney
