Heart attack and stroke: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4503686/James-Hewitt-suffered-heart-attack-stroke.html Given a slim chance of survival, according to the news.

Chances of a state funeral... Just thought I'd ask

Problem solved.

My early bet on Portugal to win at 14-1 might just pay off, you can't get anything like that anymore. Anyway, off to drink whisky and watch the show. Bon chance and good luck to our international contributors and see you on the other side of Kiev, 2017!

Bush Sr still looks a bit frail imo. I think he will see his 93rd birthday, but I don't know how long after that he'll last. I'll estimate his death will come in 3-4 months or so, but I could be wrong.

Agreed. Barbara looks MUCH worse. Should definitely be on the list next year and have her own thread.

Now that Sir is what I would call a brilliant fantastic list!

The legendary singer (and actor) Frank Sinatra died on this day in 1998 aged 82 in California.

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/spongebob-squarepants-creator-stephen-hillenburg-reveals-als-diagnosis-1202007865/ Stephen Hillenburg creator of the global smash hit Spongebob Squarepants has been diagnosed with ALS.

Can't fucking stand Russell Watson.

This thread is for Communists not people you feel are too left winged.

I can't believe he was on the 1993 Deathlist...

Barbara Bush and Rosalynn Carter should definitely be on next year's list, they will be 93 and 91 respectively next year. Can't miss out on first ladies dying!

I'm still waiting to hear from Theresa anything but Brexit as a policy stance. Keep waving the Union Jack love. Yikes, just listening to her speech, she's said something else. Protect pensions from unscrupulous bosses? This has been an issue since Robert Maxwell, and you've done eff all. Cap energy bills? Everyone agrees that this will lead to a rise in bills, crikey your party slagged that off as Marxist only two years ago, now you complain that John McDonnell is Marxist? Meantime, Corbyn is making a hash of re-stating Labour's long standing nuclear weapons policy. Emily Thornberry made a damn good job of patronising the Scots on the Edinburgh Question Time last night with her "we know best for you, stoopid Jocks" attitude. Tim Farron - here's our policies for proudly boasting we will not win, but second would be good. I'm with the guy on the street who was on the BBC news the other day who just despairs at the state of the lot of them.

Ok, I've calmed down enough. Portugal through. Still predicting a top ten finish for them - might even be a contender on the night. Still my personal fave. Poland, Armenia and Azerbaijan? Seriously, with apologies to anyone supporting those countries, they should not have got through imo, but it was always the weaker of the two semis, so anything was up for grabs. Roll on Thursday, we in the UK don't have votes, that is the tough semi. I'm still strangely addicted to Romania's entry. If anyone here has their country performing, good luck! It literally could be anyone....

Pretty good year for celebrity deaths 1988. For fans of tragic child stars you get the Heather O'Rourke/Judith Barsi twofer, a great week for the counter-culture as both Divine and John Holmes drop dead in the space of seven days, the only occasion on which Trevor Howard, Valerie Solanas and Adrian Adonis will ever be mentioned in the same breath.... Enzo Ferrari span out, Emeric Pressburger was red shooed off and Kenneth Williams pondered what was the point. Music provided by Roy Orbison and Sylvester.

Not a death, but the news of Krushchev being overthrown in the USSR broke during the 1964 general election night coverage. Iirc they have updates and discussions on it, and what it will mean to the "next government".

There isn't really much chance of that though is there? That said if he does it brings us back to six living Prime Ministers with a high chance of reaching 7.

Also statistically picking a 90 year old man is more likely to die in a given year than a 90 year old woman.Also though as more public figures are disclosing illnesses of course more female candidates will emerge. Here are my suggestions of 50 new women who could be on future deathlists: 1)Charlotte Rae 2)June Brown 3)Fenella Fielding 4)Cleo Laine 5)Judith Kerr 6)Baroness Trumpington 7)Lilianne Bettencourt 8)Glynis Johns 9)Diana Athill 10)Baroness Mary Wilson 11)Ruth Bader Ginsburg 12)Marion Ross 13)Sheila Mercier 14)Diana Serra Carey 15)Clarissa Eden 16)Joni Mitchell 17)Linda Ronstadt 18)Christianne F 19)Daniella Westbrook 20)Elaine Lorden 21)Patricia Knatchbull 22)Heather Chasen 23)Betty Boothroyd 24)Shirley Williams 25)Gudrun Ure 26)Toni Morrison 27)Vanessa Redgrave 28)Eva Marie Saint 29)Joanne Woodward 30)June Whitfield 31)Glenda Jackson 32)Virginia McKenna 33)Sylvia Sims 34)Jane Campbell 35)Angie Dickinson 36)Shirley Bassey 37)Liz Fraser 38)June Spencer 39)Ysanne Churchman 40)Jane Powell 41)Dorothy Malone 42)Doreen Mantle 43)Josephine Tewson 44)Patricia Routledge 45)Ethel Kennedy 46)Barbara Bush 47)Rosalynn Carter 48)Tippi Hedren 49)Joan Plowright 50)Cloris Leahman

Trump will get him out of that chair and back to work in no time.

I never thought I'd see a deadpool more confusing than the Kentucky Derby. I have now.

Just listened to an NPR report about how Dole has been very active in facilitating communications between the Phillipines and Donald Trump during his campaign and since. Thus he is presently active and lucid and likely not on the ropes. I'd get him the hell off of DL for 2017. SC

So we have a spare in case one dies.
