Hits 10 and 11 happened I believe with Clive James and Stuart Fraser

I suspect most people's email are in the spam section, as I had to retrieve mine from there...

I’m so ready for next year...

I dropped Stuart Fraser from my list. However, if no date of birth or age ever shows up, it might not matter anyways...

Hm, what about US congressman Ron Wright? Maybe he will be a good choice for 2020...

Irving Burgie, who wrote hits such as the Banana Boat Song for Belafonte is dead at 95

Well... 1. Henry Gray (3 points) 2. Tom Smith 3. Daniel Arap Moi 4. Ron Boswell 5. Catharine Denueve Yeah, I'm out of ideas...

And we have officially started. Good luck everyone.

I don't think so because I believe rules say specifically they have to mention the fact that they died in the obit. Kind of like why that one magician for Bert didn’t get a QO. But maybe I’m wrong...

And it’s full. Some excellent choices in this years batch, and it left me with a lot of names I’m surprised nobody went for. However, my choice will be none other than Willie Nelson. Now to hope everyone makes it to December 1st UK time, and good luck to all the contestants.

Just a reminder that there are 2 spots available for the pickings. Once those two are up, I will go with my choice.

Apparently he’s some French sports commentator in palliative care. Jean Pagé, that is. 4 more spots to go before I choose my pick.

By the looks of it already 18 slots filled. Keep it going, there’s still 6 slots open for you to choose someone.

Okay. Only one person actually though Errol Christie was deathlisty. Better?

I mean, I don't think anybody would've guessed that Errol Christie would actually have been deathlisty...

It’s open around 12 pm in the UK. I will be sleeping then as it’ll be 5 am my time, but keep that time in mind.

Fuck, we’re less than 24 hours from when the selection period officially starts. So make sure you find that weatherman in hospice in order to prepare for the starting line...

All things must pass, and with that George Harrison died at 58 years of age, 18 years ago today.

Terry De Havilland, shoe designer known as the “Rock n Roll Cobbler of the 1970s” has died at 81

Jimmy Carter again

Jimmy Carter plz.

Our entry total is up to 9. So far all the entries are folk who submitted a list last year. I know a lot of people who are waiting till nearer the new year to submit their list, but please. If you have never submitted a crowdsourced entry before, or if you have submitted in the past but didn’t send one to me last year, please consider sending a list this time around. The more people who participate, the better.

REPORT OF CLIVE JAMES'S DEATH...* 15/50 24th November 2019 Well known Australian critic, broadcaster, and dead pool teaser Clive James has finally succumbed to a nearly decade long cancer battle in order to make the list have the second best score to date. He began his career as a literary critic before he joined The Observer in 1972, where he became known for his wry, deadpan humor. Since then, he was able to do lots of things that lead him to higher status: from writing poetry to presenting on BBC radio, to hosting his own show on ITV called Clive James on Television, his impact on the UK was undeniable. He even once quipped that Arnold Schwarzenegger in his body building days looked like "a brown condom full of walnuts." As for his political views, he was identified as a social democrat, although his views on the Iraq War were quite strange for a social democrat, among other things. He's perhaps best known for his time as a dead pooling tease. Perhaps no name has stayed on the minds of dead pooling folk as long as Clive did, as he was fighting cancer since 2011 and was close to death so many times before. However, the will he won't he speculation finally ended as he died from the cancer at the age of 80. This was his fourth year on the list, jumping up all the way to the 8th spot. * I'm well aware this is the same photo as the Deathlist's photo, but I like it a lot so I'm shamelessly stealing it.

It’s that time of year again, where another Star Wars fan in hospice gets to see the new Star Wars film before they die.
