Pope Benedict?

100% agree

And Loretta Lynn and Honor Blackman need to stay! A return for Pope Benedict and Jill Gascoigne would be wise.

Also Pol Pot in 1998.

He was a favourite of mine eccentric but benign but yes his decline was too obviously chronicled in real time.I had three big bereavements in 2011 so a lot of news events etc in 2012 just never really lodged themselves in my mind and memory during that period as I was all consumed by my own situation. I only started death listing in 2014 and 2016 was the first year that felt epic or big in that sense. Pre deathlisting 1990 and 1998 to me felt like big years from my perspective. 1990 Barbara Stanwyck,Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, Sammy Davis jnr ,Roald Dahl, Rex Harrison. 1998 Linda McCartney,Tammy Wynette,Frank Sinatra , Sonny Bono, Roddy McDowell, Ted Hughes. 2005 also felt big when the Pope ,Prince Rainier of Monaco , Jim Callaghan and Ted Heath all died in quick succession in an almost cluster.

Gosh thanks.Much more extensive than I was expecting. I as a former big soap fan had forgotten about Bill Tarmey

Arr Whitney of course

Brilliant!!

Also if Kirk and Olivia went that would be a milestone in terms of the golden age of Hollywood?If enough legendary soap icons also passed away eg Barbara Windsor, Julie Goodyear, June Brown that too would feel watershed and notable in terms of popular culture.

Oh I didnt realise 2012 was one of those years?Just trying to enter the recesses of my mind to think who died in that year?I know Margaret Thatcher was 2013.

What a wonderful way with words @Spade_Cooley has!

Only 3 days to go but yes you could very well be right.

I must have missed the precum metaphor which shocks me a little as I'm not normally one to miss precum!!
