[Black Heart]

Whether King or street sweeper, everyone has a date with the Grim Reaper.

Happy New Year fellow board members. Today is January 1st, the start of a new year. And as tradition holds, that means it's time for our annual Death Pool.

Nobody had Ali. That would have been a good pick.

I'm offering a special promotion. Available to members who did not join the competition on its original day.

It's June 3. Half through the year.

During this limited, special offer, I'm allowing ALL members to join now and pick 5 people that are famous / renown who you think will check out in 2016.

The promotion starts now! It ends on June 10th, 2016.

Phra Dhammachayo (but no actual body will be sighted by the public or DSI)
He-who-must-not-be-mentioned-with-disrespect. (But it will not be announced).
Thaksin. (But Reds will cry assassination).
Jingthing. (But not from AIDS).
and from the OP..hopefully Bagdhadi, (but not from natural causes).

And only the last one (above) do I wish. The rest, I hope I'm wrong.

I stand corrected. Mind you I think there's a vid of him doing press-ups at some award ceremony when he was 90 odd (unless I'm confusing him with some other tough old goat).

Probably outlive me

^My Mom just turned 93. I called and asked how her birthday had been. "Repetitive", she replied.

My grandad turns 96 this year. Wish he had the wit of your mum. But he's a lovely old guy.

Close enough.
When you're a baby, life is measured in days, then weeks, then months, then years. I'd say nonagenarians could be excused for rounding up a few months.

I think a certain monarch might be high on the list.

[Neverna]

That Black Heart dude seems to have died this year. He was on my list of favourites to die this year. I just forgot to post it. Sorry about that.

[Jackanapes]

Black Heart dude? Who he? Googled it but still none the wiser

[Latindancer]

Kirk Douglas is 100 years old

Crikey.... he is, too ! Later this year.

Kirk Douglas (born Issur Danielovitch; December 9, 1916)


A great innings. Go, Kirk !

[Jackanapes]

I had assumed he was no longer with us till I read something the other day. A great innings indeed!

[Dillinger]

Here's Kirk 2 days ago








Some great stem cells

[Jackanapes]

What a trooper. I really must get around to watching Spartacus.

This thread's been rather 'Kirk-jacked'

I have always liked "Jingthing's" posts.

I hope he does not check out this year.
