Carter could even see off both Le Pen and Woodward, at this rate.

Le Pen in hospital. Woodward at the very least nearly a decade with end-stage dementia (and possibly worse). Jimmy C in palliative care. Charlton too ill to do family funerals. Starmer-Smith practically on his deathbed. Delors meant to be quite ill. Ackland said elsewhere to be in frail health on this forum. Kundera with heart issues. Faithful with COPD/in a care home. Rolf (allegedly) in deathbed. Willie Nelson frail after being gravely ill last year. Linda Nolan cancer spread badly. Dennis Skinner MIA and "not doing great" years ago. Al-Fayed allegedly dying in court documents. Sonny Rollins just about hanging to life somehow. You know, for a list which looked mediocre, I can't recall a time we've got to the end of the first quarter and we've had quite so many obviously frail good picks on the list suddenly.

Emperor Otho died on this day 1954 years ago, aged 36. - Otho was known for being vain- the first century historian Juvenal wrote that he would look at his reflection before going into battle, and that he would use dough as makeup. - Otho married the mistress of Emperor Nero, Poppaea Sabina. Nero wanted to marry her, so in the year 59, he forced him to divorce her, and appointed him the governor of Lusitania (modern-day Portugal) to get rid of him. - Otho would ally himself with Galba during his rebellion in 68 AD, and succeed him as emperor in January of 69. - Yet another rebellion began as soon as Otho became emperor, with legions in Germany allying with Vitellius. - Otho would commit suicide by stabbing himself in the heart. Some believe that he did it in order to avoid a full-scale civil war. - Otho was the second emperor of the Year of Four Emperors- Galba (January 69), Otho (January-April 69), Vitellius (April-December 69), and Vespasian (December 69).

We mortals do not know his secrets.

He managed to become over 4 years older than Bush.

… and given Joe Biden is now back in DC he’s got to make it until May when Joe jets off to Japan. Poor Jimmy.

He's under the care of the folk looking after Frank Field, I'll wager.

If we add all of them + the 4 picks that've already died, this would be the second must successful deathlist in history, and that's not counting all the old as dirt picks like Kissinger, Lear or Barker who could die at anytime. Honestly, what you said at the end is really accurate, I remember being dissappointed with this list at the beginning of the year, but it's looking really promising as time goes on.

Dave Edmunds is 79 today.

A couple of weeks ago I was told I passed my final research paper, which means I have obtained my bachelor at university! It's something I'm quite happy with. And all of that while taking part in deathpools, talking about having priorities And this evening I got the news we'll get a kitten, she'll be welcomed in our home in May if everything goes to plan. It'll be the first time we have a cat since our last one passed away aged 17 at the end of 2021. It will be quite a change to suddenly have such a young animal at home but I'm looking forward to it.

It’s almost his second month in hospice care. I don’t understand how he is still here

Ron Perlman,I love him,but it's the name that came to mind for this game,for no apparent reason,just to participate

Mary Quant.

As I'm not running any pools next year (I've earned the rest I feel, plus it'll give me more free time to be really bad at Slay the Spire), I might run a Crowdsourced Wrestler Deathlist. I think we have enough learn'd fans of the graps here to make that worthwhile.

Prince Hitachi hospitalised again .

Salim Durani dead at 88.

A small group of Steve Jobs’ family, friends and former colleagues have collected his bits of wisdom into “Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words,” available free to the public online starting on April 11. Somewhere between a posthumous memoir and a scrapbook album, it is told through notes and drafts Jobs emailed to himself, excerpts of letters and speeches, oral histories and interviews, photos and mementos.

Doyle Brunson and Jack Binion (and some Texas furniture guy/gambler Mattress Mack) six days ago: They all looked and sounded quite frail in the 20 minute video posted on facebook, couldn't hear what Brunson was saying.

Elvy Olsson, from my first candidates list, dead at 99.

Rudolf Schenker is 73 today.

Rangers are now a third division team due to being put into administration. (I'm not going into it in any detail, I'm sure you've all read about it) All the rats (decent/semi decent players) deserted the sinking ship leaving the up and coming players to play for them. The Rangers of old no longer exist leaving a new team calling themselves Rangers to start from the lowest division. Taxi for McCoist?

Whatever happened to Lynne Perrie for that matter? Haven't seen her around for a while.
