Apparently John Miles, he of "Music" fame is being reported as dead: https://www-sudinfo-be.translate.goog/id431889/article/2021-12-06/le-chanteur-britannique-john-miles-est-decede-il-navait-que-72-ans?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Hit #3 in the UK Charts in April 1976:

Short clip of her from September. I'd say safe enough to drop her in 2022.

Maybe this might be enough to induce you to watch Blakes 7

Some random and unoriginal suggestions: James Earl Jones (91- Darth Vader/Mufasa) Marion Ross (94- Happy Days' Marion Cunningham) Tom Lehrer (94- Singer/Inventor of Jell-O shot) Gene Shalit (96- Critic) Vin Scully (95- Sportscaster) Phil Collins (71- Singer) Pele (82- Football god) Buzz Aldrin (92- Moonwalker) Nichelle Nichols (90- Lt Uhura) Jiang Zemin (96- Ex-Chinese president/forum favorite) Michael Dukakis (89- Politician)- Bob Dole's replacement

Shame, I liked John Miles back in the day, and I never cared if Music was overblown self-indulgence, as it was once described to me.

Italian far right deputy Eugenio Minasso dead at 62 from COVID complications. Anti-vaxxer who changed his mind during hospitalization, but it was too late.

That would be a great pick! Big name in science, 94 next year and has been looking like he's in a state of decomposition for years. Also a great candidate to inherit Pri ce Philip's casual racist title

Can James Watson make the list already

Bob Dole.

Got bored, made a deadpool. Here's all the rules. Have a list of 10 political candidates. This includes Presidents, Vice Presidents, Prime Ministers, Deputy Prime Ministers, Dictators, Parliamentarians, as well as losing candidates. (so you can have Jimmy Carter, Dan Quayle, John Major, Nick Clegg, Kim Jong Un as well as Michael Dukakis - oh and don't forget the random MPs and Representatives.) They can be from any UN member state and from any election within said nations. Order them from most likely to least likely. You get 10 points for first place, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc etc. One extra point is awarded for unique picks. One extra point is awarded for murders/unexpected deaths, as long as you don't commit them yourselves... You can't pick someone who will be executed. (as to be expected) Pick two subs please. I never know what to put here but enjoy. Oh, and if one of the picks is dead, @ me when you tell us please. Entries don't close - join whenever.

Noticed this years version of the thread had not been opened yet and It feels time to launch it. Some of the people I think should be considered for a debut. Glynis Johns Julie Goodyear Jean Marsh Michael Gambon Duchess of Kent Duke of Kent George Alagiah Bill Turnbull Pele Frank Field For a return Liza Minnelli Jerry Lee Lewis.

Dick Cheney

That doesn't make him a Neo-Nazi either, it just makes him a cunt.

Neo-nazi is not too much when talking about Le Pen considering he publicly described concentration camp during WWII as « a minor point of detail » and refuted the existence of it.

Bob Dole (1923-2021) Bob Dole does not like this! (Bob Dole) Only king in Murica is Burger King (Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh upon receiving the news) Age at death: 98 Known health issues: Bob was a living miracle. He died at least 10 times and every single time he recovered in barely two weeks. Gravely wounded during WW2, prostate cancer, abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2001, cerebral hemorrhage in 2004, hospitalised in 2009, 2010 (pneumonia and knee surgery), 2011 (infection), 2012 for months. Again back to Walter Reed with fidelity card in 2017. Finally got diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer in February 2021. Who would have said it, he looked so healthy! After 5 months of tough battle, the cancer died. But then it came back and killed Bob. Prematurely. Cause of death: Overdose of Vi@gra Lung cancer. Alignment: Bob Dole was a good guy, says Bob Dole. Bob Dole didn't support Trump, the cunt was holding Bob Dole's family in hostage.

French painter Claude Monet died on this day 95 years ago, aged 86.

keep : • White • DVD • Dole • Lansburry • Barker • Greenspan • Kissinger • J. Carter • Leslie Phillips • Delors • Bennett • R. Carter • Elizabeth II • Belafonte • Newhart • The Pope • Marcos • Yoko Ono • Nolan • Woodward • Brooks • Le Pen • Poitier • Castro • Mcgowan bring back : • Gorbachev • Desmond Tutu • Attenborough ? • Cleo Laine • Louis Farrakhan • Sandy Gall • Jerry Lee Lewis • and maybe Nigel Lawson ? add : • Nichelle Nichols • Trintignant • Sandra Day O'Connor • Pierre Soulages • Eva Marie Saint • Buzz Aldrin • Tippi Hedren • Noam Chomsky • Robert Solow • Frank Field • Milan Kundera • Iris Apfel • Monica Vitti • Lollobrigida • Giorgio Napolitano • Jiang Zeming • Pelé • and maybe Berry Gordy, Gena Rowlands, Georges Soros or Liz Sheridan this is how I would imagine the perfect deathlist and I think it could be quite productive

I mean, it’s a fool game to think that they listen to the forum most of the time but they do seem to throw a bone to the forum every now and then. I mean, remember when Errol Christie and Gord Downie snuck onto the list? Would never have happened if they didn’t look at the thread.

Desmond Tutu Gorbachev Jiang Zemin Pelé Frank Field Larry Storch Jerry Lee Lewis Norman Tebbit Jean-Louis Trintignant James Lovelock (finally) Less DL, but still good picks: Vicente Fernanadez (most popular living Mexican singer) Christos Sartzetakis (much more than a run-of-the-mill president) Mwai Kibaki (very old and frail, arap Moi was a hit before him) Alberto Fujimori (Peruvian dictator and has been circling the drain for so much) Cheng-ning Yang (will never be picked, but likely the most important living physicist from the last century and recently gone downhill)

Norman Tebbit Bamber Gascoigne Jimmy Tarbuck Virginia Mckenna

Jim Gallagher, drummer for US based surf band The Astronauts, reportedly dead: https://www.dailycamera.com/2021/11/30/astronauts-drummer-longtime-boulder-resident-jim-gallagher-dies-at-78/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0960497/ Apparently vocalist and lead guitarist Rich Fifield also died recently.

Edit: Errm, this is definitely one of those "good idea poorly executed" jokes, lol.

Spike Heatley, jazz double bassist with various outfits including CCS above, being reported dead: He was also apparently in the house band for Play Away. Let's see a cloud through the round window. Also a couple of appearances in The Avengers! IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6805514/

Very famous german entertainer Alfred Biolek died at 87 years: https://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/leute/leute/tv-legende-alfred-biolek-gestorben-er-wurde-87-jahre-alt-77167618.bild.html That is 6th hit for the DACH-list.
