Along with aviation casualties, hasn't Trump stopped celebrity deaths in 2018 too?

I'd be very grateful if he could make a personal contribution to the list this year.

While that would be a massive contribution, I'd prefer it if he just popped his clogs instead.

I think Kirk Douglas might die this year.

He is currently 101 years old. It's a sure fire bet.

He’ll be fine. Every single time Death gets near him, somebody else shouts “NO! I’M KIRK DOUGLAS!” and he gets away with it.

Should have added a title, edited now.

I've finally got round to watching TNG in order in 2017 (just All Good Things left to go which I've never actually seen) so in my head he's still about twelve!

Chris Tsangarides just passed away. Very well known Rock and Metal producer. Responsible for the sound on these killer albums.

John Young (American astronaut from the 1960s) passed away. Quite sad about this. He is most known for just before blast off in a Saturn V mission when his heart rate was 70 bpm, compared to his compatriot's of 145 bpm. Ballsy bastard. How can you be relaxed in a situation like that? :lol: Thoroughly likeable bloke from what I've seen as well.

If there's a nuclear holocaust do you think I can blag the day off work?
