Some excellent choices in your entry @chilean way

How many so far?

Have we had an early Christmas tipple or are we just being naughty and irrevant!!

That's very possible!! I do think one of the Carters will go next year though.

Apparently his team are already mooting that he might stand for a second term...

You think Biden will die before Jimmy Carter?

Anyone in particular in mind?

I have a feeling there's going to be some exceptionally big or iconic names from the world of music to die in 2022. Names I would throw into the ring for consideration would be Bill Wyman, Tina Turner and Eric Clapton.

I take it you mean well known person rather than a well person!? I think a well balanced approach to life is always a careful mix ,blend and combination of reason, intelligence, emotion and faith.

I think you are only focused on the official deathlist whereas I am thinking more broadly about other pools and other celebrity deaths eg Derby Dead Pool. So I certainly think there will be more than two deaths! Also there are a number of noteworthy deaths in 2021 like Anne Rice that belong in DDP terms the list of the missed as not chosen but still noteworthy .

If that's a floater for you that's great!!

Because I have experienced many last minute surprises and splurges in my lifetime!!

The year 2021 isn't over yet!

Until or rather unless there is electoral reform which in reality is a very very unlikely long shot then any voters who oppose the tories( or indeed oppose Labour when they are in power) needs to get smart , follow your example and embrace tactical voting. The humiliation of the Shropshire by election last week wouldn't have happened without it. There would be far fewer safe seats were the voters are taken for granted and that is good for all parties and the health of democracy in my humble opinion. But to get back on topic I am increasingly confident that the Queen is going to be healthy enough to have a great platinum jubilee celebration in the summer of next year. I don't see Prince Harry's book ruining the year because I think more people are losing interest and sympathy with the hypocritical whining busted flush of a grandson.

Ooh Toast I had you down as a yellow lib dem!! When The Queen has wore yellow I think k it's really suited her too!

Yes but even there I think she is wearing one of her wigs?

I'm surprised Derek Draper hasn't been mentioned more on this thread.

There was a story I read online or rather an anecdote about Joan Collins. I can't vouch for its creditabilty but to me it rings true. An elderly woman got on a plane at Heathrow travelling to Los Angeles. She disappeared to the bathroom and seemed to take an awfully long time . Cabin crew were concerned and went to look for their passenger who's actually name is Joan Gibson. Super glamorous with a wig , make up and full attire Joan Collins emerged from the ladies bathroom and went and sat on the missing elderly looking ladies seat. Astonished staff and passengers were pleasantly shocked but relieved when they comprehended that the elderly lady taking 30 minutes in the bathroom who had caused some concerns and Joan Collins were the same person. When Joan Collins had a serious fire in her London apartment about 4 years ago there were similar reports of people seeing a distressed elderly lady talking to firefighters and only realising afterwards that the distressed elderly lady was Joan Collins. Her full make up , wig and full attire really is a transformative work of art.

New up to date photo of Joan Collins.

Maybe...

A brilliant genius idea incentivising the uniques. Adds a further level of interest for both players picking their own teams and reading through other players teams.

Oh I was thinking of as a bit of a punt possibly in some teams like DDP or Death by numbers rather than on the committees official formal list. Is fellow American music executive Clive Davis as active and healthy seeming?
