I wasn't whingeing; was amused by the opportunism. And I am the first to agree that I wouldn't have selected Jessica but for the tragic accident. I thought this was about who one expects to die, not about who might want to die.

BTW, I selected Kirk Douglas. Not sure if we are allowed to double up.

You need another nom Mr K. Plus Skully will quibble about Nick P being included in the sport category.

by JGK Fri 05 Jan 2018, 05:39

Bill Russell

And Olivia de Havilland for Kirk.

by skully Fri 05 Jan 2018, 07:14

Apologies for leaving you out of the "Carn, have a go" list!! Cool

MrK, you've previously nommed Jimmy Carter (as had you with the Senior Douglas) and Johnny Manziell (u30). Read the 1st post, people!!!

Need another 2 noms (politics and U30).

Is there really a person called Earl Sweatshirt? Death is clearly scared of Billy Graham. I know two blokes (one recently died) who as young Ministers of Religion were two of seven or eight Ministers who demonstrated against Billy when he turned up in Melbourne for an evangelical event. Graham was an extreme advocate of the Vietnam War.

Both blokes ended entering politics and served as Ministers so they were Minister Ministers.

My recent record of keeping people alive prevented me from tipping Graham.

It is already the 6th of January & not one high profile celebrity has popped his/her clogs this year. What is wrong with people these days?

What's wrong with them? Not much!

Just saw vision of 101 year old Kirk Douglas on stage as a co-presenter at the Golden Globes. He said one word - "yes" - and looked like death.

I will be amazed if Red doesn't score with the old blurter this year.

RIP. Often produced 3 Toons a day. Many were absolute crackers. His annual Melbourne Cup tip depicted a drunk John Kerr. The tip was generally a runner with an alcohol related name.
