I do also have some international suggestions. Some have already been proposed, some are new and hopefully obitable, most are just old: Armin Mueller-Stahl, German actor, just turned 89 Arthur Cohn, Swiss film producer, 93 next February Christa Ludwig, German soprano, 92 next March Ennio Morricone, Italian composer, just turned 91 Gina Lollobrigida, Italian actress, 93 next July Gottfried Böhm, German architect, will be 100 on 23.01.2020 Hans-Jochen Vogel, German politician, 94 next February Hardy Krüger, German actor, 92 next April Helmut Berger, Austrian actor, “only” 75, but recently retired Isabel Perón, Argentinian President, 89 next February Jacques Delors, French politician, 95 next July Jean-Louis Trintignant, French actor, just turned 89 but as we all know... Lina Wertmüller, Italian film director, 92 next August, just received Honorary Oscar... Mario Adorf, German actor, 90 next September Martin Walser, German writer, 93 next March Max von Sydow, Swedish-French actor, 91 next April Michel Piccoli, Italian actor, will turn 94 tomorrow Mikis Theodorakis, Greek composer, 95 next July Roland Dumas, French Foreign Minister, 98 next August

My team for 2020 is in! Good luck to everyone else. Unlike last years massacre, this time I only needed to make 4 replacements, the names of which I'll reveal once the new year has arrived. It would have been 3, but I chanced my arm at a really low quality pick just in case it was accepted. It wasn't!

End of the revolution for Nicolae Ceaușescu on this day 30 years ago, aged 71.

https://ru.euronews.com/amp/2019/12/26/ru-galina-volchek-dies. Russian actress and theatre director, Galina Volchek, has died of pneumonia at 86.

Geoffrey Palmer (assuming he makes it until 1 January 2020) is a must. Such a Deathlist type person and a loveable legend. It would be a shame to ignore him in the same way that Robert Hardy (another legend of a similar vintage) was ignored.

1. Stirling Moss 2. Cynthia Morey 3. Leslie Phillips 4. Vera Lynn 5. Rosalynn Carter 6. Anne Buydens Douglas 7. Richard Bonynge 8. Nobby Stiles 9. David Attenborough 10. Bill Kenwright Sub Pete Murray Larry King

...until I came along! PM'd my shower of shit.

Right. Here's mine for 2020: George Alagiah John Andretti Daniel Arap Moi Frankie Banali Bob Barker Pierre Cardin Jimmy Carter Rosalyn Carter Olivia de Havilland Bob Dole Chris Doleman Kirk Douglas Lawrence Ferlinghetti Rhonda Fleming Bob Gibson Valery Giscard D'Estaing Ruth Bader Ginsburg David Gulpilil (WILDCARD) John Hume Glynis Johns Terry Jones Lee Kerslake Henry Kissinger Norman Lloyd Sam Lloyd Loretta Lynn Vera Lynn Stirling Moss Hosni Mubarak Giorgio Napolitano Willie Nelson Olivia Newton-John Javier Perez de Cuellar Isabel Peron Prince Philip Sidney Poitier Genesis P-Orridge Eva Marie Saint Prunella Scales Pat Smullen Nobby Stiles Bernard Tapie Alex Trebek Jean-Louis Trintignant Ted Turner Dick Van Dyke Tabare Vazquez Betty White Chuck Yeager Jiang Zemin Subs: 1. Katherine Jackson 2. Hal Holbrook 3. Honor Blackman 4. Jerry Stiller 5. Pope Benedict XVI

I think Willie Nelson looks much worse...

The fact that the funkiest song of all-time was written by a tiny Jewish woman never fails to amaze me.

Longterm DDP-holics of the forum will be aware of my long running trend: dropping people who swiftly die the next year. Resume: 2019 - Philomena Lynott, Steffan Lewis, Carl Piddington 2018 - Colin Butts, Simon Ricketts (thank you Joey for reminding me of that spectacular failure!) 2017 - Keith Farnham 2016 - Caroline Aherne, Asa Briggs 2015 - Chris Woodhead, George Cole 2014 - Derek Martinus, Sandy Jardine, Jaruzelski 2013 - Glafcos Clerides, Ronald Coase So, Merry Christmas, the following people will be dropped by Pan Breed in 2020: Barry DuBois, Ozzie TV star. Kerri Parker, Playboy bunny and model school owner with the incurable brain cancer and the alternate therapies. (She's only being dropped because she feels too fringey for the co-hosts main team...) Vicky Phelan, the Irish cervical cancer campaigner Deborah James, the Sun/BBC journalist Lee Kerslake - you know who he is. Dame Carmen Callil, who seems to be on the mend, and thus is destined for the LOTL in the next 5 years...

100%. I don’t think either the Carters are making 2021.

John Romita Sr. will be 90 next year.

5th oldest in the world, Dutchwoman Geertje Kuijntjes, dead at 114 years and 158 days. https://nltimes.nl/2019/12/24/oldest-person-netherlands-geertje-kuijntjes-passes-away-114

Yeah, the morning after he shags Sinead O' Connor - bring it on!

Justin Bieber has to OD in 2020. He just has to!

I'm trying to be less impatient this time around, instead of sacking all of my survivors only to watch them succumb weeks or months later. But I really don't like giving people another chance. So will probably follow the usual pattern of mass redundancies, putting together a half good new team from scratch, making it less good by trying to be stylish and including an obscure Polynesian ski-jumper and a Latvian nun, with the final effort unlikely to meet expectations, finishing even beyond the UEFA cup places.

I support making Vera Lynn #1, then Kirk Douglas at #2, Olivia de Haviland at #3 and Prince Philip at #4 provided they all make it that long especially given recent news

I would say only a maximum of 8 of those would qualify

A good names for 2020 might be men still alive sexually harassed by Spacey.

I bet spacey can't wait for the wake.

One way to give a client a happy ending...

60 today! Years of age, not charges dropped...

King Harald`s ex-son-in-law and author & artist, Ari Behn, has killed himself on Christmas Day. Ari was 47. Ari was married to the King`s daughter and had 3 daughters. (Ari, also a MeToo victim, claimed that Kevin Spacey gropped his genitals back in 2007 at an afterparty after the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.)
