Another cracking headline from the BBC: Read next: Who is Adolf Hitler? The downfall of a talented painter

Alright, I have submitted all the teams that I am going to submit for 2022 (except for my not super-competitive shadow list, which already exists in my excel file). So I am now going to add the already submitted teams to my 2022 database, starting with the publicly posted ones. Depending on my speed and headache intensity, I will probably reply to the PMs tomorrow.

Assunta "Pupetta" Maresca, beauty queen-turned-Camorra figure, dead at 86. Made international headlines in the 1950s when she murdered the man who killed her husband, Camorra don Pasquale Simonetti.

There's no room for sentimentality in Deadpooling. Agreed

Wow, this could be big. This could be very big indeed!! US lawyer/politician Harry Reid has decided that he has seen enough of 2021 and has clocked out a few days early. He is a hit for two people in this pool. One is Nantonian who scrapes into a tie for 10th. The other is me and the huge points total for Reid sees me over-take the long-term leader Drol with only 3 days to go. An Fear Beag (2799 points) 12 hits [Belinda Sykes*, Bernard Tapie, Bob Dole, David Gulpilil, Dilip Kumar, Harry Reid, Jimmy Greaves, Larry King, Leon Spinks, Lilian Priest, Rush Limbaugh, Yoo Sang Chul] Drol (2716 points) 15 hits [David Gulpilil. Dilip Kumar*, Dovid Soloveitchic, Emmanuel Evans-Anfom, Ernie Moss, Florence Alice Lubega, Frank Worthington, Gerd Muller, Greg Gilbert, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Mikis Theodorakis, Norman Lloyd, Ruthie Tompson, Toko Shinodam, Vittore Bochetta ] Can Drol muster up one more hit from his list of crusty old world leaders, or can I hold out for 3 days to win my own competition, in true Fr. Ted style? I think my screen time is going to shoot through the roof for the next 3 days as I check Drol's remaining picks every 5 minutes!

Sent a team in yesterday.

Mikey 'Mao' Chung, who played with Sly & Robbie & Black Uhuru, as well as Peter Tosh and a plethora of other notable names, has died aged 71.

WinterCake? More like FruitCake. There's nothing wrong with her.

I do not think Queen Elizabeth will die in 2022. I think her demise will be long and slow (remember the Viz Queen Mother memorial teatowel joke). I think there will be at least one Christmas where she does not deliver her Christmas message before the end. However I do see her along with Carter and Pope Benedict as too big to miss so understand her continued presence on the DL

Oh, nope! I'll only be including the list you submit here and won't be cross-checking lists in that way! Because of the laxness of the rules, I'm barely checking them as is I'm sure you have your reasons for making the two lists different!

Curious,do you know any other French celebs over 70 who are unvaxxed? Asking for a friend who doesn't play any deadpools at all.

I presume so. I've been following this rule since I started.

I play with that rule personally.

Babes.

Guilty on five of the six counts with which she was charged.

OK so of my 2021 List, 18 died, so that leaves 32 names. Of those, I think I'm going to drop Caan, Bacharach, Necro Butcher. and O'Neal, though I really do think O'Neal doesn't have a ton of time left. So 28 are still in. That means we need 22 more. I'll start with my 28 holdovers and go from there... Bob Newhart--frail enough that I'd be surprised if he makes it to '23 Ayatollah Khamenei--conflicting reports about how ill he might be, but I'm keeping him Yoko Ono--hanging on for now Jimmy Carter--extremely, extremely frail, and quite frankly I'm shocked he's still with us Rosalynn Carter--have to play the Carter daily double Jerry Lee Lewis--tick tock Harry Belafonte--old and frail enough to keep, although he's still doing video messages Betty White--she hits 100 next month; let's see if she can hit 101 Joanne Woodward--has been in the end stage of her dementia for a really long time Linda Ronstadt--playing the odds of her PSP diagnosis in 2013 Bob Cousy--is 93, not a lot of info here but I'll keep him on my list The Berzerker/Nord The Barbarian--the first of my ALS entries Tom Parker--would have to live 4 calendar years with glioblastoma if he sees '23, so I'll keep him Sidney Poitier--very old and frail Nichelle Nichols--seemingly in the end stages of dementia Barbara Walters--the end seems near Teri Garr--sticking with this one, as she's likely had MS since the early 80's Mikhail Gorbachev--surprised he's still alive, will keep him until he dies Superstar Billy Graham--none of the wrestlers should be a surprise, really Jake The Snake Roberts--COPD and other health problems Alberto Fujimori--survived the year but still very frail Samu--had stage 4 liver cancer and had a transplant Eva Marie Saint--Hollywood legend is 97 Bob Barker--longtime Price Is Right host just turned 98 Pope Benedict--could have another year or two in him but he's very frail and 94 Fay Vincent--former MLB commish said he was dying in '19, so damn it, be a man of your word and die! Tom Weiskopf--looks like he'll make it to '22 but the likelihood of '23 is not good Dick Cheney--going to keep him on my list until he croaks; '22 marks 10 years since the heart transplant With that, I have two returnees from my 2020 List, so this gets us to 30 names... David Crosby--got through another year, but he can't have a ton of time left, so back on he goes Olivia Newton-John--at some point, the treatments are unfortunately going to stop working, a la Valerie Harper with stage 4 cancer OK, so we need 20 more. I unveil these names for your reading pleasure... Pele--from everything we can gather, seems like a dire situation. a must-add. Jiang Zemin--honestly, I don't know anything about this guy other than he's old and he's a drol must-pick. OK, then. Tony Bennett--my favorite of the old crooners, it seems like he's deep in the throes of Alzheimer's now Charley Trippi--NFL Hall Of Famer just turned 100 Steve Gleason--has suffered from ALS for longer than normal and is extremely gaunt in pictures Jacques Delors--96-year-old missed a dinner in his honor due to poor health recently Robert Solow--going with him over Greenspan since Solow is 97 and Greenspan doesn't appear to be overly frail for his age Shannen Doherty--is relatively young, but the whole stage 4 cancer thing Kris Kristofferson--get the sense he's in grave health, we'll see Leslie Phillips--I mean, he's 97 Don West--when brain cancer returns, that's obviously no bueno James Lovelock--at 102, too good of an opportunity for a hit Philippe de Gaulle--is 100, so another great opportunity for a triple-digit hit George Alagiah--another whose cancer has metastasized Estelle Harris--former Seinfeld and Toy Story actress is now 93 Stanley Baxter--many of y'all seem to be shocked he's still alive at 95, so I'll go with it David Graham--the actor is 96 and appears quite frail June Brown--looks like a female crypt-keeper Henry Kissinger--turns 99 next year, and although mentally still there, is overweight and a bit frail Imelda Marcos--is wheelchair-bound and 92 There you go, there's my list for 2022, although I reserve the right to make changes in the next 24 hours or so as more info becomes available. I couldn't bring myself to add Queen Elizabeth II or Angela Lansbury because I simply don't think it's their time. EDIT: After seeing how the Queen looked in her Christmas message, I'm putting her on the list in place of Imelda Marcos. Begrudgingly, also. What can I say, I'm a fan of the old woman's steely resolve.

An outsider for 2022 maybe. If she enters a plea bargain to name others then it gets interesting..

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10354063/The-Duke-Kent-publish-memoir-just-Princes-bombshell-book.html This is an interesting and to my mind unexpected development. The Duke of Kent, a very close confidante of his cousin the Queen , is set to release his memoirs in May next year. Certainly a sign that in part he is looking towards his legacy and getting his perspective, thoughts and feelings on public record while he still can. Might be of some relevance to those picking names for deadpools.

Not really sure you want him at spot 50, as every person since 2017 has died the year they took that coveted 50th spot!

Don't forget a lot of his law firm's earnings came from their work for Microsoft (i.e. via his son). So while as joint of owner of a law firm he would have had a few mill to give away in any case, this would be pretty small scale philanthropy compared to what he was able to do because of his son.

Unlikely he would have got a QO through.

Well, it's not bloody obvious to us , is it! For all we know you could hum like a wrestlers jockstrap and the assistant was just trying to be helpful, or summat. Just sayin, like..
