Apparently I am one of the few here, but from my point of view the list is not so bad at all. Maybe some pros (+) and cons (-) from my first perspective: + A lot of big famous new names like Yoko Ono, Frank Williams, Castro or Walter Mondale. + It is the first time that I know everyone from the list or have heard before ------> no obscure picks like Bill Gates Sr., Gord Downie,.... + On the other hand the comitee have to go against people like James Whale, Turnbull, Parker (maybe they might be dead certs and good DDP-choices, but after all they dont seem to be deathlisty and famous enough. and thats fine for me. tbh I never heard of Whale or Turnbull outside this forum, but thats probably just because I`m not from UK. - More than 80% of the list inlcudes celebs from only two countries, not really representative from a global perspective. I know and absolutely accept that this is primarily a UK focused list. But if I had a wish to the committee so shortly after christmas, it would be a little bit to open up to the rest of the world. - The biggest surprise for me that Tom Smith was kicked off the list and some one like Shane McGowan is still on it. not really plausible to me, but who knows...? Thats all! Happy and healthy new year to all of you here in the forum!

oh, sorry, you`re right. thats even more difficult. Spontaneously I dont know even one famous people from Liechtenstein

to be honest, I hardly know any celebrities from this small country. Maybe Jean-Claude Juncker, the foreign minister Jean Asselborn, Ranga Yogeshwar and Desiree Nosbusch

Wow, well done, Vaagheid. 129 points are amazing !
