    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    Anyone given much consideration to the few remaining senior member's of the American Kennedy political Dynasty from the "Camelot" era? The only remaining sibling of JFK Jean Kennedy and Bobby Kennedys widow Ethel? Would be a shame especially for the deathlist if they die without being on anyone's lists? They would be a bad miss if that happened imo.

    Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

    Actually, I was right the first time. Scottish second sight, you know... Who to replace him with now?His brother and successor Raul...Other alternatives include the recently abdicated King Juan of Spain, The Duke of Kent, Mikhail Gorbachev, Robert Duvall, Sean Connery.... Anyone still alive then really. Well not anyone..... I was just trying to give them a bit of variety and choice! it was the ..... But back on topic i'm hearing Mike Yarwood as a possibility. Really? Someone made some interesting posts earlier this week charting the poor health of famous author Philip Pullman? Seems he's worth considering.

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    On the contrary I think there's many reasons to reckon that in 2017 the Derby Dead Pool and the Deathlist will have a"bumper" year boosted in part by lots of "overdue" long termers finally departing.

    The 10Th Death Of 2016

    I voted Billy Graham. I feel he's a strong contender for a late "hit" in 2016 for DL

    Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

    That's a great list Shaun! I was trying to remember a particular female author and now you've spared me having to rack my brain -It was Diana Athill. I see I haven’t been able to persuade you of the merits of 96 year old aristocrat The Dowager Duchess of Grafton.....

    Class Of 1937

    Am I right in thinking that his father was assassinated thus didn't have a natural death? Or was the Prime Minister of Norway? I definitely know there was a political assassination in Norway but not sure if royal one. His father Olav V died in 1991 of heart attack. Maybe you are referring to Prime Minister Vikdun Quisling, who was executed after the war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Olof_Palme No I was getting mixed up between Sweden and Norway -The Swedish Prime Minister was assassinated in 1986.

    The 2Nd Crowdsourced Deathlist (2017 Edition)

    I'm sure lust messaging is blocked by the filters (and if it isn't it should be). Now corrected! Well spotted!

    Please not the lovely Betty White the last of The Golden Girls! Some excellent picks in there although Val Kilmer has denied publicly he has cancer for what it's worth I like Betty and hope she doesn`t die but she is nearly 95 now.Well do you believe Val Kilmer is telling the truth?I don`t! I have no idea what to make of Val Kilmer to be honest with you! His public correcting of Michael Douglas on the cancer claim was definitely put across as giving the impression of being "definite"

    Class Of 1937

    I tend to agree with that, rumours of dementia and ailing health been circulating for years and hinted at in the press. If anyone can think of names I've left of please post and say although I'm not sure if it's possible to re-edit the poll and add them as I'm a bit of a novice!

    Class Of 1937

    I certainly don't think she's a contender for an early departure so to that extent I agree with you. I could see Warren Beatty having a decent amount of longevity and being a contender for last one standing.

    I'm glad that so far your not prioritising Olivia De Havilland as I've got a feeling she's going to make it until she's at least 102.Shes in better fettle than Kirk Douglas imo.

    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=the+dowager+duchess+of+grafton&client=ms-android-sonymobile&prmd=inv&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjSg7-JkcLQAhXiJ8AKHWMsDb4Q_AUIBCgA&biw=360&bih=512&dpr=3 I definitely think 96 year old aristocrat The Dowager Duchess of Grafton should be considered for the list. Whilst not a household name and slightly obscure she is guaranteed an obituary in a couple of UK broadsheets (I think she used to be a lady in waiting or some other royal patronage type role to The Queen not 100 percent on that!) ... And well she's no spring chicken...
