Personally i would like to see a few more working royals in the years ahead to replace the Kents and Gloucesters when they retire, reduce their workload or die.But people who have chosen to live abroad( and their offspring ) be publicly antagonistic towards the institution of monarchy should not have titles in my opinion.It makes no sense to have royal titles and live long term in America.

Isnt the deadline already gone? I dont want to put my potential uniques at risk!! Those are some very intriguing teams you have posted.I will google the names I dont know a bit later but no surprise that Jim Silliars is there again!

I'm not in a state to be objective and fair at this moment,I have consumed alcohol and I'm in shock Yoko Ono has been dropped and I am stunned and smarting that Julie Goodyear is not on the list. However once I have consumed some Pepsi Max and passed some time typing up my Derby Dead Pool teams I am sure I will then be able to see that despite the two things that stunned me that it is a good list!

Pleased to receive my emails confirming that all my DDP picks have been accepted and entered into the game. I have always managed to stay within the games eligibility rules for picks despite being a bit zany, out there and left field. Thanks for your hard work @Banana

Oh I hadn't realised there were serious issues in the Belgian monarchy as well?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Bassey Was quite surprised that one of the most iconic and talented British female singers indeed musical legends of the past fifty years Shirley Bassey didn't have her own thread. As an internationally famous superstar she certainly deserves one especially as she turned 80 in early January. It would be a bit of a forum travesty if we were caught unawares and she passed away without a thread already established imo! She's also quite a private person so she could well have serious health issues that we are unaware of and thus she isn't really on our radar in terms of the deathlist or predictions. A relatively recent picture of the grand Dame and Diva!

Dame Eileen Derbyshire perhaps?

I will do a bit of google research later after I've made some inroads into my YouTube watch later list!

I suppose I am the Nigel Farage of the DeathList forum and Derby Deadpool -very little actual official wins but plenty of colourful influence, scene setting and mood music!!

I thought he was released?

The O'Neals seem like a very dysfunctional and divided family. On one hand his daughter actress Tatum O'Neal reveals she was on good terms with her father by the time he died and a family reunion of his 4 children and grandchildren took place in recent years. https://people.com/tatum-oneal-speaks-out-about-late-father-ryan-oneal-death-8413778 Yet only one of his four children was invited to his funeral. https://www.thedailybeast.com/three-of-ryan-oneals-four-kids-werent-invited-to-his-funeral-son-claims

My three crumbles baked and entered into the competition! No more back and forth indecision about who to include who to not. It's done and once you press send it feels very freeing. The burden of decision is over and its a relief! I think its a decent effort and I hope for the best but it's now out of my hands and that feels great! Hope you enjoy some tasty slices when they are served on the 1st of January!

Welcome to my world!!

I'm sure you'll do well- your far too young to retire!

I've voted for the deathlist tease of 2023- Joanne Woodward.
