Just occurred to me today... Harold Wilson's widow, Mary, AKA Baroness Wilson of Rievaulx turns 101 next week. Bound to get a UK obit when she goes.

You wouldn't be a Republican at all, would you? None of my business really, just curious, but you come across as one. Protesting too much and all. But yes I can imagine the Royal iPad is spattered with remnants of Cheerios after she logged on to check the 2017 Deathlist. Her Maj must be apoplectic. Orf with our Heads!

Can you believe I have only just found the correct thread to say Hello?? Well I can. Bit scatty like that am I. lol I first found this site 2 or 3 years ago during a Google search and immediately thought it was a fantastic thing. Very British indeed. You do have to have a dark humour to properly 'enjoy' this site I feel and that seemed to fit me I think. I would drift in to read a few threads on occasion but it was rare I admit. Then in spring last year when the Celeb death rate seemed to be bizarre, I read a BBC article referencing Deathlist. I felt it was time to join and get access to those member only threads. With the end of the year approaching and a flurry of deaths after Castro, I felt I wanted to make a post of two, which I've done. I can see there are some very strong characters here and dynamics which of course I need to learn over time. I do appreciate some of you out there have known each other for a very long time. In the meantime I'm just gonna try to stay out of trouble til people know me more. I have entered the 5 names Deadpool and drawn up a short personal list of hopefuls for this year as my first ever attempt, so lets see how that goes. It's never easy finding a niche in a well established arena and I can understand when longer members go 'Oh, not another Newbie!'. But I hope you don't mind if I hang around with you guys and chip in now and again. Thanks. xx

She's got Ma'am Flu.... (I'll get my coat).

PM sent.... 1. Prunella Scales, 2 Clive James, 3, Bruce Forsyth, 4 Bernard Ingham and 5 Richard O'Sullivan.

Really good list IMHO but no Clive James this year might be a mistake. Another Harper Lee type miss ahead there I think.

I think The S*n is growing ever more away from understanding the British public as the replies to that post show. A lot of people enjoy a ghoulish giggle on the quiet. And besides, it's not like we're sticking pins in Voodoo dolls and trying to make these celebs shuffle off the coil, is it.

Bernard Ingham

You must be. I stand corrected then. Thanks I'm sure.

Has anyone suggested Richard O'Sullivan for 2017? Apols if they have... I'm new here.

We shall know when and if we see her in public any time soon, but I'd say it would have to be a major bug for her to abandon going to Church Christmas morning. She's got a very strong sense of tradition and places huge importance on symbolism. Christmas morning Church service would be the one thing she'd see as a vital thing to attend in her role as head of the Church of England. Whatever is wrong with her, I'd wager it's no small thing and that explains the rumours I feel.
