What famous people do you think will die in 2008?

I'm going for Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Patrick Moore, and Paul O'Grady.

Paul Daniels and Fidel Castro

Gazza and the 2 fat blokes in Harry Potter.

2 fat blokes? Robbie Coltrane and someone else? I haven't seen many of the harry potter films and not for ages.

I think Britney Spears might manage an overdose on something this year.

Mido

The one that played Cracker and Richard Griffith is it?

Robbie Coltrane.

Ahh the dead pool, I love it.

Im going for

Britney Spears
Maradona
Kenn Dodd

to name a few.

pete docherty,keith richards,ken dodd.

Chris Moyles

is that just wishful thinking?

Yes :D

Although his head must be close to exploding by now.

i dont mind him to be honest, i enjoy his show, just annoys me when he has a female guest on and ALWAYS acting like hes gonna pull them

His ass kissing interviews are very similar to Johnathon Ross.

Car Park catchphrase was good, rob djs monday night pub quiz is good, who knows Dom had the best theme tune ever  8)

They need to make "One word weather with Nelson Mandela" a regular feature :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Trouble is when he does something funny he just repeats it for weeks afterwards.
Still i spose its better than GWR in the mornings!

add betty out of corrie to the list.and vera while i'm at it

if u talk bout repeating FUCK ME Scott Mills what a wanker, i really hate him, i will put him forward for the Death of 2008.

Did Scott Mills used to be on GWR?

He is a wanker i agree

nobody will die this year 8)

I think a new thread is in order... first TEFer to die  :o

that will be me.

i dont like that question from ralphy.family and friends have us all.i would be gutted if any fellow forumers died

im betting me. i am more than likely going to have  a kidney transplant this year and there is a 2% chance i will pop my clogs.

if i die i leave all my bad debts to yeovil red 8)

tony hart i reckon.

maybe rolf harris as well.

what an accumulator that would be.

Ariel Sharon
Fidel Castro
Brtiney Spears
Duke of Edinburgh

Fidel Castro

The Queen

The bint that plays Dot Cotton

Sir Bobby Charlton

Amy Winehouse
Nelson Mandela
Fidel Castro

Brittney Spears
The King of Thailand.

Hugh Hefner.

Definatley Brittany Spears with a self inflicted overdose, possibly Amy Winohouse with an overdose as well, Michael Winner of old age, Bruce Forysth, Fidel Castro (for the 10th year running!), Maggie Thatcher, Courtney Love, Boy George...ah my list is endless!

Humphrey Lyttelton is getting on a bit.

I'd like to add celebrity Plymouth fan and ex-MP Michael Foot he'll be 95 this year.

Margaret Thatcher
Russell Watson

Out on a limb here - Ralphy (if he counts as a celebrity.....)

accident involving falling off the roof of a metro?

I don't want to die yet  :(

I was just jesting Ralphster. Are you planning to go to Forest away???

Ralphy used to be a minor celebrity, seems he has upped his game a bit and is a serious contender!! :oops:

Yes, and possibly East Midlands Airport.

Bollocks. Do I need to cancel the cab to Stanstead Airport then?

I paid for the cab on my debit card yesterday, I think it was about £120.

God i hope it wasn't more.

i wouldnt be supprised, soapy tit wank

Still, I suppose you can claim the unused portion of your rail ticket back!

:wall:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

The best airport trips are unplanned, surely. Like yesterday.

I'll go for Heath Ledger

Cheap shot Oevil.

What?

I didnt shoot him he overdosed

Fucking gayboy.



 :o

Beadles Dead.....

bloody hell

Did anybody put him down?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7217342.stm

Watch out, Beadle's no longer about.........................

Nah,

Everybodys gonna be at his funeral, and he is gonna jump out of his coffin and say "Gotcha, here's your gotcha oscar"

Noel Edmonds........................

I think Norman Wisdom should be added to this list if hes not already on it!

Noel Edmonds can only die if he's beheaded.

that made me laugh a bit too much

Serves him right for killing Clive Anderson.

classic tv axs :D  surprised you are old enough to remember this.

The last time I saw Beadle on TV he look terrible, when I noticed he was rushed to hospital with pneumonia, I though it would finish him off. Sad though

What ?, like a vet ?

Do they put vets down?

:D

  I used to see him around Epsom a lot until recently, didnt realise he was quite ill, now that man is a legend

I thought of someone who should be added earlier. But now my brain has spazzed out

Oooh. Has anybody noticed that Richard Hammond has looked a bit (more) Special School since his accident? I reckon he's got some hidden brain damage which going to cause some mental cerebral haemorrhage or something.

noooo don't curse the hamster!  :evil:

no it was pneumonia

I almost pissed myself when I saw it, I'm glad someone got the reference.

I'd like to add Barack Obama (assassination) and someone else who I've just forgotten.

I'm gonna throw a wild card in here, Jenson Button.

I still think Gazza is on his way out

:(

True legend.

I'll never forget Euro 96.

Interesting. You never know in Formula 1 I suppose!

Stephen Ireland with that car of his, people will be out to ram into the back of him.

given the choice of colour, I should think thats what he wants to happen :wink:

 :)

Someone drives around Swindon in a fiesta with pink rims and interior, i wonder if it has the same effect?

I've got a feeling that with Paul McCartney being in the news loads again, it's only a matter of time before there's another Beatle assassination attempt.

And I'm sticking with Richard Hammond. Hasn't he been saying he's been a bit depressed and suicidal since his accident? I think he's going to push himself more and more, trying to regain the high of crashing at a bijillion miles an hour. Eventually resulting in a fiery death which will turn out to be a sort of suicide. Mental.

Bruce Forsyth is going to lose his mind on Strictly come dancing on ice or whatever. Stripping off his clothes and trying to masturbate on live telly, whilst lamenting that he's not had an erection for two decades. Poor Bruce. He'll die soon after.

Ace  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I can't be the only person who thought that Arthur C. Clarke was already dead.

Margaret Thatcher is going.

Anthony Mingchella has gone.

Looking at Arthur C. Clark last year on his 90th he thought that he was dead already too.

As for Thatcher that is a day for the bunting to come out. If we have to have street parties for royal weddings, we can enjoy a few fish paste sandwhiches and fairy cakes when that witch goes.

i hope not thats my dad. im going to say paul dainels

Roy Walker

I've had a good run  :wink:

Brian Wilde (Foggy) in Last of The Summer Wine has died.

Did he play Mr Barraclough in Porridge

Yeah. I just saw that.

Why can't one of my predictions die?

has anyone guessed David Frost yet?  If not I'll go for him.  If he doesn't then perhaps Vera Lynn.

Poor foggy  :(

Famous people are dropping like flys at the mo. Is there a cull on?

It's the cold snap. These big stars are always too tight to fork out for central heating.

nah...............they all live in Bridgend

Charlton Heston famous for planet of the apes died last night aged 84.

More like famous for Ben Hur

Ben Hur, has to be the greatest airplane spot in Roman times.
Great film though.

charlton heston put his vest on. :D

is that the NRA supporting fellow?

yep, from his cold dead hands.

he was a bit of a nutter in old age but was a big civil rights campaigner back in the day.

has anyone tried to get his gun?

"Tramp the dirt down!"

candy from a baby.

I'd like to add Christopher Lee. He must be getting on a bit.

I thought Prince Philip might make it but now I think he'll be on next years prediction list.

If Prince Phillips died would we get the day off work?

We were deciding at work who who need to die before we got a day off - also are state funerals always on a Saturday?

Mark Speight

oooh and Id like to add Mark Speight!!

Boooo. I jsut came on here to add Mark Speight.

Although I hope he's ok. He's ace on SMart.

what was that thing he did that was a bit scary though??? Itchy and Scratchy or something?

He has/had a very square head

The only other thing I've seen him in was See it Saw It. His dead Mrs was in that too.

oh come on you must know Ben I was relying on you - he has like plastic hair and there was a little boy who had plastic hair too??

I think you're making it up  :D

Here's his IMDB page...
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1217981/

Nothing on there about plastic hair that I can see. You've gone mad JFW! Your brain is telling you little lies.

ooooh he was born in Trowbridge!!

After discussing this in my office - Im not lying it was called Scratchy and Co
this ring any bells?

Haha. Fair do's. I stand corrected.

I don't remember this show at all.

I cant find any pictures of this

maybe I was making it up :x

There's a bit about it here http://www.paulmorris.co.uk/satkids/scratchy.htm

No pictures though.

Has anyone actually got anything right yet this year?

I'd guess:
- Felipe Massa (Brazilian Formula 1 Driver for thickies)
- Gary Wilmot
- Bruce Grobbelear
- One of the Olsen twins
- A Chinese Embassador (choked on his Ferraro Rocher)
- Nigel Havers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratchy_and_Co

whoop! - please notice the part about "solid rubber wigs"

I'm still standing by my choice of Jenson Button and that fat bloke from Harry Potter and Pie In The Sky.

I remember that - it was cheesy and freaky at the same time.

ra ha ha! Im not alone in this then!!?

it was full of bright primary colours.

woooo!! I saw you BTW on Saturday with Bennett & Chubbs but my coat didnt go with my outfit very well so I didnt say hello

thats the most random excuse for not saying hello I've ever heard!

Did you really think we would have bitched about your coat after you'd gone?

Well maybe Bennett....

I just didnt feel like I looked nice so hence avoided everyone!

and that Bennetts well harsh!  :soapy tit wank:

maybe thats why he ripped my dress the other weekend? cause he didnt like it?

girls are wierd.

 :D

I think maybe Im just weird!

nah, all girls are.

errrr is the man off Art Attack dead??? Neil Buchanan?

Apparently just a facebook rumour.

I think you mean Mark Speight, SMart/SmArteenies.

Tragic story really, his girlfriend accidently OD'd on drugs and sleeping pills. He couldn't come to terms with her death and has been missing for 48 hours.

http://www.thetownend.com/forum/posting.php?mode=editpost&p=533240

Nah we've been through that one batch. See last page.

Apperently there's been loads of facebook rumours going around that the Art Attack dude has died.

I'm putting Petr Cech on this thread - the way he's going he won't have a head left soon.

Oops, so you did.

Carlos Sainz, Paul Radisich and Joachim Winkelhock are my predictions.

Seems like all my school boy motor racing heroes are dying so I'll plump for a few more.

I've lost track of everybody I've said and I'm not going back through to check. I will be continuously adding people though.

Alex Higgins.

Hamish Irvine, remember him?
He was a privateer who must have been racing in his 80's and that was about 10 years ago. He must have popped now

Hamish Irvine was 1995! When the new 'Super Touring' regulations came into force and he was just in his 'straight off the road' Peugeot 405 getting lapped about 6 times a race  8)

Hamish Irvine was no hero of mine.

I used to think he was ace. I asked him if his name was Homo, he didnt like that..

Ian Heward was another, racing a four year old car, he was even worse  8)

The worst of all time was Patrick Watts, surely!

I think he won a race.
I played golf with Tim Harvey too.

:o  actually? That is quality. I swear my all-time favourite team and driver line-up was Rydell and Harvey in the Volvo 850.  8)

Tim Harvey is quality.

I tell a lie, turns out he didnt  :?

Rickard Rydell  8)

And what about Alain Menu and Yvan Muller? Aren't they all racing WTCC these days?

Oh yes, and Tarquini and James Thompson. WTCC has taken over the mantle as the world's top touring car series, after the BTCC had held it for so long.

I think all motor sport drivers will die within the year. You talking about motor sport yeah? When the revolution comes etc.

Is this your motorsport revolution with zoo animals and stuff?

Too right. But I couldn't afford the redundancy pay off which would come from putting them all out of work. They'd have to change their jobs to Lion and Tiger test drivers.

I know someone who works for the WTCC.

Lucky bitch.

I know a sponsor of the BTCC and I'm off to Rockingham at the weekend for free.
I've never been to Rockingham - any recommendations?

That Volvo Estate was mental - although does anyone remember Kelvin Burt trying to kill himself in it one race?

I never really liked Menu and his two terrible cars the Ford Mondeo and Renult Laguna - ugliest cars ever in the BTCC.
I think I hated the foreigners in the BTCC - Biela can be added to the list, along with Aiello (although I sat with his wife and kid one race and she was quite nice), Larini...
FB and LA turned up for one season won it and disappeared again - I thought Gio would've done the same.

And Plato's a twat - I'm hoping he goes this year - perhaps stays in the car when it's alright this time around.

As I stopped going to touring cars in 2001 I have never been to Rockingham. Looks like if you get in any of the stands on the oval you can see the whole track though, so that is a bonus.

Biela was ace and was in it for 2 years (1996 - champion, 1997), so there! I loved the way Toca kept trying to weigh down the A4 Quattro. Biela was replaced by Yvan Muller in 1998 and he was awesome.

oh those were good days. rydell was my fave

I have memories of Steve Soper taking out Cleland in a BMW so his team mate could win the title or something. Used to love it as a kid.

Early 90's, I think 94. There's a video of that on YouTube somewhere with John Cleland getting a bit angry, Cleland was quality, Soper was a cunt  8)

Result although I'm also a bit sad.

Is that the first correct prediction which wasn't made after the bloke had gone missing having given fatal coke to his girlfriend?

Has Anyone got Clive Dunn. If not I'll take him.

Wendy richards

Matey with the dodgy eye out of allo allo.

Malpas football career.

Bobby Robson.

im going for Prince Charles! Is that bad?

Not if it's with a baseball bat.............

Do you think he would get called a "muggy little cannnnnttttt!" while taking said beating? Talking of which, did you buy any hats off traps at the weekend?

Has anyone got Barbara Windsor?

I would

:eek: she must be seventy.

Didn't see one tramp. Saw an old, pissed up bloke who looked like he'd been sleeping rough. But Fred never had a hat...............

cunt

 :D

Has anyone gone for McCain yet? The shock of winning or the shock of losing could be enough to do him in.

We did go in the Hoi Hoi Hoi christmas shops but they weren't expecting hats until next week.

If Sarah Palin is leader of the free world then you can add me to this list.

Thaksin Shinawatra

For some reason i find her quite attractive  :o

 :nod:

[url width=819 height=1024]http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u294/tans2007/Gov-Palin-2006_Official-1.jpg[/url]

Sarah!

Shall we turn death predictions into a competition next year? 10 Predictions each. 10 points for someone under 50, 7 points 50-59, 5 points 60-69, 3 points 70-79, 2 points 80+. 1 point if they've been diagnosed with a terminal illness at the start of the year.

Any other suggestions on how the competition may operate? More predictions each maybe?

Can i add Len Goodman to this list please

I'll start a new thread for the Death Predictions 2009 competition later.

FB - you can skank some stuff from here

http://www.gorillamask.net/dp05entryform.shtml

oooh ace. Might steal the 0.1 points per year under 100. Don't think I'll bother with different rated predictions though.
