2 points"All my old friends are dying, so I'm making new and younger ones!" Frail and forgetful but still with a huge zest for living, and spending her birthday with her 85 year old niece eating cake. There are worse twilights...

1 pointA new centenarian this year who appears to have gone under the DL radar, tennis player Bill Sidwell turned 100 in April 2020. He attributes his longevity to eating lots of veg, and presumably playing lots of tennis as he was still playing into his 90s. As a 2 time Wimbledon mens finalist before most of us was born, and a US Open winner, he'll get a QO as and when he goes.

1 pointGreetings,everyone! Finally made an account after following the Deathlist for years!Always a pleasure to see the new list,each year.
-
1 pointHello there everyone. I came across the Deathlist several years ago in a high school health class (no, it was unfortunately not part of the curriculum). Nonetheless I was immediately engrossed, despite being told off for not paying attention. Since then I have periodically returned to satisfy my sick fascination with celebrity death. After a particularly long browsing session, tonight I decided it was finally time to make an account. Looking forward to taking part

1 pointI think an informal "Rookie of the Year" gong has always existed. Maybe it could be recognised in Facts and Figures as well, idk. Maybe also a prize for the highest-scoring team who have at least 15 people more than 50% of the British population have heard of.

1 pointI haven't been to any famous funerals, but my Mum knew someone who used to gatecrash wakes ... for the beer & vol-au-vents. Family members would assume he was a friend of the deceased & friends assumed he was a relative of the deceased. Sounds like a nice easy way to get some free food & drink. I think I'll try it sometime.
