He had both legs over the side and was about to jump in, hope he is well enough soon to start bungee jumping. hope he has a bucket list to complete. That sounds like a decent thread to start!

Oh does she? I'll update the spreadsheet next week (it's on my w*rk computer).

Calling Piff Poff; apparently you need a new runner.

OK. But does Jedward have another name? It's a very common name in err, Latvia.

Well out of order then. Deffo against the rules.

Choose someone else Dave-n-Alisha, just because its OK for a username.... really. :frown:

These two are joined at the hip. If one dies, they both die.

It's not like I'm cheating, I don't get double points and it's twice as hard for me to win, what's the harm?

Please, I really want this "act" to die a horrible death. They are an embarrasment to the UK music scene.

But if my plea falls on deaf ears, I choose Her Maj as my number 5

Assuming "Her Maj" is not another pop group, but HRM Elizabeth II, she's fair game.

Dave n Ailsa Feb 18th 2012 10:06 am

Re: The 2012 Celebrity Croakers Thread.
 
OK, my updated list then:

Sean Connery
HRH Elizabeth II
Charlie Sheen
Nik Wallenda
Lewis Hamilton (joker)

Apparently not. Just did some reading to see if he had popped his clogs but it seems he's a bit on the poorly side after having a stroke.

He also had a girlfriend in the 1940's - who he was with for 3 years until she died in an air raid. He stayed single from that day to this. Awwwwww :(

Wikipedia is a pain in the ass isn't it, lol

I ended up reading the entire history of the Falklands conflict the other night just because I heard they were arguing about it in the house of commons, and I wanted to know who started it :D
