2024 Celebrity Death Pool #6

[Serene Serena]

Any points for the fat man?

That's ok. You're allowed not to have seen things.
The important question is whether you've seen Police Academy: Mission To Moscow?

not only have I seen Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, I watched it at the cinema in 1994. Sidcup cinema, in fact.

Perhaps this will show me up but my parents had some ’leather bound’ books from Readers Digest in a glass cupboard when I was a kid. Very swish looking. But I was a right book lover so I used to read them. I don’t exactly how old I was but we did World War 2 in Year 6 and it was before then so perhaps 9 or 10. Anyway, I cannot tell you how shocked and horrified I was to turn over the last page in Anne Frank’s diary and read the afterword and find out she’d died! It felt like a real rug pull because I do t think I’d ever read a ‘real life’ book where someone had died.

Sidcup cinema was terrible, but it is where I saw Ghost so that might not have helped.

RIP to my patience. 5 hours queuing for oasis tickets only to get near the front and bounced back to the end

Any points for the fat man?

He'll be nil points in the event that he doesn't survive. People tweeting about it but still not sure if official.

I saw the video and he seems to know something isn't right as he gets himself up behind a DJ booth before collapsing.

RIP Fatman Scoop.

He obviously knew something bad was happening because he moved to the back of the stage. I wonder if he had the same kind of medical incident as my friend did? Alive, happy, chatting, looking forward to lots of things, then just dropped dead. Probably the best way to go for the person concerned, but what a horrible shock for everyone else. RIP Fatman Scoop.

 

[bracrumbs]

Yes, I often think when people say they don’t want to know when they go, I think how that sudden ripping away from their loved ones must be tricky.

Yeah, he must have felt "off" because he definitely made his way to the back quickly. Would have saved a lot of the audience seeing the cpr. Obviously some did but if he had just collapsed centre stage then they all would have.

Obi Ndefo anyone…?
Bodie in Dawsons Creek

I didn’t realise his story, lost both his legs in an accident

I was a massive Oasis head in the 90s but judging by the calibre of my colleagues wanting to go, I decided I was far too cool and didn't even try.

(I also *might* be working part-time and couldn't afford it anyway)

Pulp were better in any case.

This is more my wheelhouse, I loved Dawson’s creek!

 

[Swinging Pineapple]

let’s do a who would you bring back from the dead,

Robin Williams without his Lewy body dementia
Mark Lanegan
Joan Rivers
Leslie Jordan

 

[Serene Serena]

George Michael without his cardiomyopathy and drug addiction.
Les McKeown for my Bay City Rollers loving Auntie, minus his enlarged heart and alcoholism, so he could reunite with Woody like the Gallagher brothers have.

Talking of the Gallaghers and their feud, I was all set to go see Bros on their comeback tour 5/6 years ago, only to receive an email the morning before advising the concert was cancelled.

Identical twins or not it was well known they didn't get on.
