Very strange seeing Liz Truss and succeed in the same sentence.

Marian Fuks is a hit for @Great Uncle Bulgaria and @John Key CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Polish historian Marian Fuks (wiki) has finally fuk’d off at 108.

Ancient Chinese politician and hydrologist Qian Zhengying dead at 99.

The political situation is not the best right now, but don't lose hope yet. Your country is a great country. Soon the sun will shine after the storm, @Sean.

The comment that no one asked for, but I feel like typing and sharing. This has been a learning curve, I've enjoyed hosting this competition this year a bit even if I've taken breaks due to real life workload. Respect to those that make hosting competitions on Deathlist look easy. I started this because I always tracked how well my Shadow Deathlists did on my profile page. I like making lists for myself. Out of everyone I've picked since 2018, 68.3% of them have died. I like keeping track of this for my own sake. This list is a bit of a combination of all my picks since 2018. I forget when I made it, at least a couple of years ago, but it's just quick maintenance now whenever someone dies. List of Everyone: 2018-2022 Dead 110/161 - 68.3% First Year 2018 (Original name count: 50) Dead: 42/50 (84%) John McCain 1936 - 25 August 2018 (81 years old) (1) 2018 Leah Bracknell 1964 - 29 Sept 2019 (55 years old) (2) 2018, (1) 2019 Herman Wouk 1915 - 18 May 2019 (103 years old) (3) 2018, (8) 2019 Roberta McCain 1912 - 12 October 2020 (108 years old) (4) 2018, (6) 2019, (13) 2020 Linda Nolan 1959 - Living (Living, 60 yo) (5) 2018, (36) 2020, (4) 2021 Stefán Karl Stefánsson 1975 - 21 August 2018 (43 years old) (6) 2018 Gay Byrne 1934 - 4 November 2019 (85 years old) (7) 2018, (15) 2019 Kirk Douglas 1916 - 5 February 2020 (103 years old) (8) 2018, (2) 2019, (15) 2020 Olivia De Havilland 1916 - 26 July 2020 (103 years old) (9) 2018, (10) 2019, (30) 2020 Vera Lynn 1917 - 18 June 2020 (Living, 102 yo) (10) 2018, (*12,45) 2019, (28) 2020 George H.

Louis Gigante Dies at 90.

I don't know who or what you mean... On the other hand, it's also interesting the twist that such a simple game can take, even if it's not to my liking. This game is inexhaustible. Imagine, for example, we would play a KoS with all the singles releases by Elvis Presley or Elton John - that would certainly take forever!!! But why not, we all hang out here in the DL-forum anyway, so let's play...

Five years and a few days ago, Fats Domino was looking great and sure to see 90

F. Murray Abraham, American film, stage and television character actor who won an Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for his splendid portrayal of Antonio Salieri in "Amadeus", is 83 today. Abraham was raised in El Paso, Texas, near the Mexican border, and he was a gang member during his early teens. Martin Campbell, New Zealand film and television director and producer who is the director of such films as "Criminal Law", "The Legend of Zorro", "No Escape", "GoldenEye", "The Mask of Zorro", "Vertical Limit", "Beyond Borders" and "Casino Royale", is 79 today. He moved to London during his early years and initially began a career as a cameraman.

Absolutely ecstatic to see him there. Got me a bit teary, I must admit. This article confirms the scene was shot in Autumn 2021, and William was able to give Radio Times a few words over the phone! https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-classic-companions-interview-exclusive-newsupdate/

The acoustics in that room aren't great, but it's yer Michael Jayston and Colin Baker at a fan event yesterday.

Canvassing? If anything it’ll have the opposite effect  Kind of agree with Harrison’s dirgy shite but honestly I think it’s better than some near the top…70s is a very hit-and-miss decade for my tastes, which if anything makes this game more interesting.

I didn't realise we were able to canvass for and against songs to try and influence others. As we are I'd like to thank GUB for joining with me in keeping George Harrison's endless repetitive dirge out of the top 10 - it's not the worst song on the list but I find it almost impossible to listen to without thinking 'Oh Sweet Lord when is this fucking song going to end'.

Erasmo Carlos hospitalised again.

On this day 72 years ago yesterday (October 23rd) in 1950 american comedian, actor and vaudeville act Al Jolson died aged 64.

No idea when it was filmed, looked a while ago, but surprised and delighted to see a TV legend make one more appearance like that.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!

A further disclaimer:Should the monarchy be abolished the game will still continue until King Charles III dies.Also there are no draws so it goes to sudden death if there are any ties on the leaderboard.

Composer, diarist, pulitzer price winner Ned Rorem, oldest living survivor from this list, as mentioned in the birthdays thread turned 99 today () but he still seems to be quite active and in good health. Here's a picture taken three days ago, posted in Facebook/Meta/Zuckbook/Zuckerbergia: Ted Bloecher doesn't have a wikipedia page anymore. As far as I know he's still alive but has been quite frail the last few years.
