    Did Berniece Baker Miracle (wiki), Marilyn Monroe's half-sister die off radar? Yes, in 2014 (aged 94–95). Photo there of her grave "Berniece Miracle" with her husband's (Paris Miracle). Other sites online mention her husband by name and its an exact match. Residency sites like Spokeo and Clustrmaps also have no record of her residence beyond the mid-2010s, where she was last recording as living in North Carolina (which neighbours Kentucky) so that too would back up the FindAGrave page, even though the picture itself is strong enough evidence in itself IMO. Oh dear. Just shows why you shouldn't trust clickbait "news" sites like this, which claim she's still alive without first hand confirmation. Bad news for @John Key who has her in the Centenarian Deadpool this year, and to anyone who may have picked her on the DDP.

    You're buried in dead pooling and still have time for multiple wanks DI - you utter athlete, much respect!

    Well, Truss has had a ringing endorsement from a top-ranking Tory.

    Van Tam stepping down in March. Looks like he would rather work at a University than have to defend the indefensible. Smart move.Can`t help but think after yesterday he just said "yeah fuck this"!

    In 1989, I randomly chose a random passage from TULoB (played backwards like in that psychedelic Beatles song that Oasis borrowed their entire sound from) for the 'lyrics' of a song called Quicksand (which has nothing to do with the Bowie song). That's about as obscure a Kundera-related anecdote I can offer at this time. For the record, I enjoyed both Being and Zen, and yes, the odd committee member has read a book or two.

    Looking at their list, I want to know what Justin Trudeau and Al Gore's are. (I would not consider Trudeau for another 40-something years)

    I rather see her mentioned here than in the thread of that creep ex-husband of hers. Her death means the Ronettes is now down to only one surviving member; Nedra Talley.

    As tragic as her death is, I think we can at least cheer on the fact that Ronnie was able to outlive that abusive prick Phil who pretty much destroyed her career.

    If this doesn't start soon, half of them will be dead! Only joking....bit of a massacre going on though...

    I've knocked out a few of the quicker ones already ready to go when the DDP is up - unfortunately they've had to be the backburner first because of the new celebrity data entry. But that's all done and we're in the home stretch before the DDP is up. The privilege of writing Ronnie's DDP obit might be the only good thing from her death, which I imagine is similar to msc's feelings on his own heroes who died 2020/1 such as Diana Rigg! If Alex Trebek's death was during my tenure the poor DDP would crash due to the 5 terabyte obit...

    Rest in peace, Robert Durst. Don't know anything about him, but I reckon he should have been knighted. Edited to add: Whoa, just read about who this man actually was. I completely take back what I said about knighthood. He wasn't British.

    A very close friend of my late Grandparents was admitted to Hospital on the 18th or 19th May and died alone (not from Covid) on the 21st May 2020 aged 100 alone having reportedly been distressed in her care home not being able to understand why her family had stopped visiting for the 2 months before her death as she was deaf eyesight wasn`t good and general health was in decline both physically and mentally. This is why so many people are angry and will never forgive Boris. I am guessing almost everyone knows of a similar case up and down the country. When he apologised I nearly threw my coffee at the TV screen. He holds us all beneath contempt and I think the feeling is becoming mutual among a lot of people. Wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire and no amount of explaining away will change that (and I am a Tory ,well was).

    I note that the Health Secretary has said it was an honour to work with him but Van Tam hasn't echoed the sentiment!

    Let's be honest, it's being politically on the left (at least what passes for the left in the US/Canada) It's a very interesting list is all I'm saying, and definitely feels more like wish fulfillment in sections than actual predictions. Which isn't necessarily a wrong way to deadpool, but it's definitely not the way to determine the main list.

    What is Joe Biden's illness?

    I really don't care who you suggest or about your opinion. Pretty obvious Joe Biden is miles different than Jimmy Carter or Kissinger. Hell or even Clinton with his health issues.

    And we have a good example today. Ronnie Spector.

    Jaqueline Wilson is in declining health and was someone I did consider a few months ago adding to my Dames team but forgot about last month. But I can see her on the list perhaps.

    I've got more than 50, but I'm not at liberty to release their names at this time. Because if I do, my lawyer has to be here.

    Let the committee do their job! No whining at the tough decisions that they have to make. Let's not make this a bitch fest!!

    So was Ronald Reagan at that age, and he survived another 15 years after. Dont get me wrong, he's not a completely terrible pick - as he could be assassinated by someone who hates him or he could get Covid etc - but it is very unlikely he will die this year. If you put Biden next to someone on this years list; say for example the Queen, who has become a lot more frail in recent months and may also be less willing to live now that she's lost her husband last year. Put her in comparison to Biden. Biden is out and about all the time constantly doing stuff. Biden does not meet the criteria to be put on the top 50 whereas a lot of people on there are terminally ill, very frail and/or in their 90s.

    Confess had no idea who he was 10 days ago - seems I needn't have wasted time finding out.
