I'm alive.

The year that the Sun will explode DL will reach 50 hits.

Yeah, when he opened the presents and found the COVID he must surely have though "Who is the fucking imbecil who brought this?".

Servus, Grüezi und Hallo! Welcome everybody to a little German/Austrian/Swiss pendant to our very beloved bible „DeathList Top 50“ and to its equivalents of the French, the Canadian and the Australian/New Zeelandian DeathList, created by forum users. We, the German forum fellas frleon, gcreptile, Prophet, TomTomTelekom, WEP and Book, created a list of 50 German, Austrian or Swiss people (from the so-called D-A-CH-countries*) of who we think that 2021 could be their final year. *By the way, D-A-CH means D = Deutschland (Germany) A = Österreich (Austria) CH = Schweiz (Switzerland) „Dach“ is the German expression for „roof“. First we collected several names which came to our mind, also of people who were born in the German speaking countries or later became a citizen of that countries. Then everyone selected 50 names and put them in order 1 to 50. First place = 50 points, last place = 1 point. At the end I added up all the points and the result was the German DeathList, now called The D-A-CH-DeathList. I'm sure you'll find some surprise inclusions but also some “obvious misses!” Every obit in the German language is accepted, because dead means dead Maybe this thread could also be used for German deaths generally, like the ones for the Danes or the Slavs or the famous Belgians. So, to cut a long story short: In the next post are the 50 German, Austrian and Swiss people of our very first D-A-CH-List 2021! Thank you for your attention. Enjoy!

May I just be the first this year to ask if anyone has considered the fabulously original names of Norman Lloyd or Beverly Cleary?

Its the annual tradition. Midnight NYE, everyone: Hooray! The new Deathlist is up! 3 seconds later: The first "Where's my DDP joker? Why have you picked Valdas Adamkus and Yoko Ono's brother?" complaints.

People only make this thread so early because they get boners about having created one of the biggest threads of the year. As such, I'm gutted I left it so late this year!

Can the subheading of this thread be “Rehash all of your unoriginal ideas from 2021 and pretend we haven’t heard them before.”?

Dilip Kumar: hold my masala chai...

I have some very original ideas. How about Prince Philip, Bob Dole, Jimmy Carter, and Pope Benedict? Well, hopefully I didn’t spoil any potential unique picks for anyone...

I’d heard of the Girls Aloud singer, not the footballist. I’ve never felt less fucking straight.

Fuck you LFN. It was great to speak to you after so many years and knowing you would have stepped up to help. Priceless. And that c*** TQR too making me laugh the whole year. And SC whose love knows no bounds. And Harry Mac who sung starshine in the darkest days. They can all have a happy new year anaw with love from me and my Baby Yoda Sir Creep got me, and obviously has my everlasting gratitude.

Fuck! Coffin Lodger twat was all lined up to tell everybody what a legend you were and how many tears he was shedding over the greatest DL er in the history of, er, DL. His loss is our gain.

I always do.There is no other way to be. I feel as @Lafaucheuse stated that there is an end of a generation of deathlist picks approaching the end of the line. Betty White, Prince Philip, Jimmy Carter ,Bob Dole, Bob Barker, Leslie Phillips etc. I think we may see a repeat of 2018 were a former White House couple both President and first lady die. George and Barbara Bush then and the Carters now. Two deaths in the British royal family is also something I sense the likelihood of with the more obvious candidate being Prince Philip. A glut of big name and iconic Hollywood stars mainly born in the 1930s I sense will pass in 2021. Time will tell.

Dead.

Whilst on the subject of original names, I ran a search and Glynis Johns was only mentioned in the 2021 thread a mere 15 times. So, Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns Glynis Johns. And we’re done for this year too. Marvellous.

Happy Hogmanay from me & Navid

Gudrun Ure is her birth name too, so easier to track down in the online records!

Lightning is striking again?

former canadian PM Brian Mulroney had emergency surgery recently. we can treat 2021 as an opportunity to see how he’s coming along. he’ll be 82 in march similar with Eric Carle (“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” author) who was in hospital earlier this year for unspecified reasons, but i’m guessing is okay (no update on his website but the previous message about his hospital stay has been removed). turns 92 in june. June Lockhart: not sure how obit-worthy she is in the UK, but will be 96 this year. seems to have been active right up until the pandemic so didn’t think it was worth putting forth to the committee as a 2021 contender. (you’re welcome for offering unique picks)
