13+1 = 14

It's been very quiet this year with the perennially ill nonagenarians though. My "Big Seven" of living coffin teases: Leslie Phillips (98, survivor of multiple strokes one of which needed him to be resuscitated, seizures, other ailments and has failed to make an appearance in 5 years, and he already looked like incredibly frail back then) Jimmy Carter (97, metastatic cancer survivor who had three falls and a brain surgery in 2019, other ailments.) Bob Barker (99, long health history that includes strokes, heart surgeries, cancers, falls, memory issues. Wheelchairbound the last time we saw him) Violeta Chamorro (93, osteoporosis, already nearly wheelchairbound in the 1990s following a knee injury and spinal infection, suffering from brain tumors for more than a decade, severe stroke in 2018 and was reported last year to be suffering from late stage dementia. Bedbound) Tin Oo (95, heart ailments, severe stroke and fall in May 2017, unable to talk or walk since, on oxygen with covid early this year) V. S. Achuthanandan (99, suffering from lung&heart diseases five years ago, stroke in 2019, critical with acute gastroenteritis, kidney failure and dyselectrolytemia a year ago, survived covid early this year. Suffers from an unknown memory ailment and only rarely has lucid moments.) Henry Kissinger (99, overweight, heart ailments including bypass surgery in 1983, heart attack in 2000, heart surgery in 2014, also hospitalised in 2010 and after a fall in 2013, was wheelchairbound a few years ago but can walk again) I think I first thought of these people as some kind of a group around January after the venerable Thích Nhất Hạnh fucked off to Nirvana and none of them have died since. Very suprised the Reaper has left them unscathed. However I expect atleast two or three to be dead by the start of 2023. Especially can't imagine all the first three still alive at the start of the year. I think they could go quickly one after another. I look forward to seeing who'll be the last man or woman standing though!

...so it's you who isn't getting his posts liked by him, then...

Richard Dreyfuss, American film and television actor especially remembered for several films during the 1970s and 1980s that are now considered classics, "American Graffiti", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Jaws", among others, is 75 today. Dreyfuss won an Oscar for his portrayal of a struggling actor in Mike Nichols' classic comedy "The Goodbye Girl" (1977). Kate Jackson, American actress, who began modelling at the age of 16, remembered for her leading roles in the popular television series "Charlie's Angels" and "Scarecrow and Mrs. King", is 74 today. Jackson is also a breast cancer survivor and a prominent spokeswoman for the American Heart Association. And... to @Redrumours.

Winona Ryder is 51.

I'm surprised I don't miss some more often, thanks for pointing it out! I usually have to find those mistakes and sneakily fix them myself You're right, thanks for calling me out! Looking at the names and scores on the first page, I identified the error. I'll post it here for my own shame. Same error as I did for MariNisia, but not identified until now. This is the whole reason I keep a list at the front, so we can keep track and know where the error is!

thank you, thank you very much

Crikey he is almost unrecognisable.

Cheer's Hic!!

Also his birthday, which, somewhat cruelly, increases the chance of you being right.

I do apologize, but by my count I'm on 5? Persoff, Newton-John, Hunt, (Windsor? Mountbatten-Windsor? Lizzie?), Lansbury?

Died back on August 2nd. Sorry if reported elsewhere.

English actress Jean Marsh is really a must. She has been lingering on for years.

Imagine being a regular poster reading this who has never had a post liked by @diego

I wouldn’t bother learning his name if I were him.

If we can have football, cricket, ruggerbuggers and baseball (hell, even wrasslin') threads, I don't see why there shouldn't be a US football version. These guys are always doing drugs, shooting and raping people, organising dogfights etc, so there should be plenty of DL action for them. And we have our fair share of transatlantic members to consider, don't forget. To get the ball rolling, today saw the college football equivalent of Carlisle (or summat) beating Man Utd, as tiny Appalachian State downed mighty Michigan in one of the biggest shocks ever. No-one died, though. Go Pack, go Badgers! Edit: on reflection, this is unfair on Carlisle. A more accurate example would be Man Utd losing to the bobbins robins of Altrincham.

But is he really dead! We have had reports saying he is dead & then reports saying it was a hoax??

Bill Rodgers (right), Baron Rodgers of Quarry Bank, the oldest surviving of the 'Gang of Four' SDP founders, is 94 today. He suffered a stroke in 2001.

Good idea!

A rather belated one from Sunday, Gary Burghoff of MASH fame was Seventy Seven.

29 days later....it's a leap year.

Welcome aboard Andy. You could do worse than pick a team of just 10 people (old or ill or preferably both old & ill) who you think may die within the next year and post it in the NLDP thread Vaagy is taking care of before the the 10th of January. Also look at the Rotten deadpool - ( http://deadpool.rotten.com/ ) they allow you to enter their game on any day of the year - your game with them runs for 365 days (aim to be in 1st place at the end of your "game" and you can say you have "won") No one has yet gained 10 out of 10 in about 87,813 entries.

I'm a noob, and I don't really mind if someone calls me a cunt.... I'd like to make my own death list but am unsure about how to go about this, probably because I haven't read the relevant threads yet.
