2023 Celebrity Death Pool #6 Ha Ha Ha Ha Staying Alive, Staying Alive

[Whatamadworld]

I'm definitely going to make a list for 2024

In the meantime I'm going to nominate Michael Portillo for my next no points to die at some point this year, must be feeling it after his wife died

When did his wife die? I didn't know this. I've always been fond of Michael, seems like a nice enough guy.

Ray Stevenson’s death seems quite untimely, he was filming in Italy apparently. Not hugely famous, but he did some good work in film and TV over the years. I think there is one film (I want to say The Other Guys?) where he has an absolutely diabolical South African accent, but otherwise, solid supporting cast member work.

I remember him in Band of Gold and Rome. I recently rewatched At Home with the Braithwaites on ITVX and he was well-cast as the untrustworthy brother-in law Alison Braithwaite has a fling with.

He was really good in a cop show called City Central that used to be on BBC1 in the late 90s in an attempt to take on The Bill. A lot of actors these days prefer to be known as character actors rather than stars and I think that summed him up really well. He was never really the lead but he was always great in whatever role he had to do.

She had breast cancer surgery. She's probably been through a lot so not surprised. When did you see her?

Just on her insta page

Sorry lurker here, what are bonus points? I checked the wiki but may have missed how you get those!

matted hair/wig/shower cap - Post I responded to

Hang on a minute! Dont you dare throw the race card at me! I'm taking the piss of what is on his head, not his afro hair! - Response to my question


I had just watched news clip of Mizy being told he would be dragged out by his hair and I saw this comment again linking hair with violence it had matted hair then / wig no photo that’s the context

In my mind it would be matted wig / shower cap not matted hair then / wig / shower cap , because a wig is obviously hair that’s how I have read this and asked question about referring to his hair being matted in plaits / twists etc

If I’ve taken it wrong that’s a misunderstanding based on the above for the record

Buster Blood vessel?

Too late to join the fun but love the thread.

Anybody ever mentioned Eugenia Cooney? I'm amazed she's still alive.

She has one vote

Ah, Welling. Where I grew up and lost my virginity.
A London borough classed as Kent.
Home of the BNP, a cannon, and Kate Bush.

Thank god those days are over!

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I‘m mulling it over….reckon a lot on the list may be playing The Báthory bath game to stay young.

Got to find enough virgins first...

 

[hol20x]

Was there a limit on who many celebrities we could list? I only listed about 4

I think you needed to pick 10 to enter

 

[Kthxbye]

I lurk here but just wanted to say this thread gives me the most laughs on Twitter. But then, I’ve always had a weird sense of humour….

Re Rolf, that deffo wasn’t a ‘private ambulance’, it was an undertaker’s van, but I sort of wonder if it’s his wife that’s died - she’s not been in rude health for ages either.

That was a thought, but she's in a care home now, so not sure why a private ambulance would be at their house.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

How is Rhod Gilbert these days?

 

[VC10]

Could be a controversial topic as I know people have different beliefs on what’s happened, but could a missing person be considered for the list? I’ve noticed they’re searching a reservoir for Madeline, on a lead they’ve had saying someone says her body is in there. She’s been missing years but hasn’t actually been confirmed dead as far as I know?

I don't think anyone will ever get to the bottom of that mystery ...

 

[melisnusty]

Why? What do you know..?

Oh blimey, nothing! I just saw a photo of him the other day and he looked ropey.

 

[#botsforlife]

Alright, enough about Katie Price; this is all being addressed on her own thread. She has 27 votes, and I can't imagine any points being scored.

Do we think anyone will pop their clogs this weekend?

Yes but I think it will be a big soccer or cricket player… not a Tv star. We are due for a sports person to pass.

 

[Mugglewump]

A NUL—pointer no doubt, but the exceptionally-wealthy US reactionary God-botherer Pat Robertson has gone onto his eternal reward.

OMG, I m huge fan of his.
Who?

Yes you've mentioned that a few times now. Give yourself a pat on the back and let's move om.

The documentary is excellent. If it doesn’t get lots of awards next year, then something will be very wrong.
But then again, I would’ve chosen Angela Bassett absolute power-house of a performance for the Oscar over Jamie Lee Curtis, so what do I know?!

I said the exact same thing to my boyfriend the other week. If it does not sweep, we all know something is wrong. It is so good, and with the amount of attention it’s getting too, hopefully it won’t be brushed aside in usual awards season fashion

Was just thinking the Greek female singer is 88 Nana Mouskouri,had hit White Rose of Athens.
