Not familiar with that post, can you show me where that post is?

Could the assassination of Russia's ambassador start world war three. The express said it could (though I wouldn't believe them): http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/745267/RUSSIA-TURKEY-shooting-of-Putin-s-ambassador-to-Ankara-WORLD-WAR-3-Ankara

If no one else is going to put another nomination, then I'll be the one to nominate Zsa Zsa for deathlist hit of the year and death of the year

Another case of having a BBC page but no obit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/3ea995ee-95dd-419c-8c84-dedb1362e54f

Remember that today is the last day to submit nominations for each category, as tomorrow the polls open to vote for the final results. Please remember that if you complain that someone didn't get nominated in a category you wanted them to be in, it's your fault for not nominating them. So bring more suggestions.

What is the number one person now since the unexpected demise of Zsa Zsa

Now the question is... will Zsa Zsa still have the most points when everyone lists are in?

2013 had 4 deaths in the top 5 as well. Biggs, Chavez, Kalashnikov, and Priebke, with the lone survivor being Clive James

So we are at 10 hits right now, the amount of hits there were in 2014. I do think this was a better year than 2014, even if we don't get anymore hits (and the year isn't over yet), mainly because of the quality of hits we got. Ghali, Reagan, Ali, King of Thailand, Castro, and now Zsa Zsa. The only person in 2014 that really matches that level of fame in my eyes is Lauren Bacall. Now what I want to rant about is how many of the first time picks were poor choices. Not all of them were bad, but many of them were. So let's review those picks: MTM: I hate to break it to the forum users, but I don't think she's really that ill. Sorry, but we probably would've gotten more news if she was very ill. Prunella Scales: I think the problem with her is that she was put on too early. She probably won't make it to 2019, so I wouldn't drop her. Jimmy Carter: To be fair, I think many of us thought his cancer would return. Wouldn't call him a bad pick, but more of an unlucky pick. Tommy Chong: Note to committee, don't include a cancer sufferer unless it's terminal. Doug Ellis: Literally just an old dude, and it doesn't look like he's leaving anytime soon. Sandy Gall: Same as above, although like msc said, bring in more scottish. Robert M Pirsig: He's frail, but he's not that frail if you know what I mean. Lester Piggott: Do I even need to explain why he was a bad pick? Glen Campbell: That one new person many of us hopes makes it to 2017, because if he doesn't... Boutros Boutros-Ghali: Dead Murray Walker: Again he's just an old dude. No health issues (apart from minor cancer that didn't kill him). Jimmy Greaves: His cancer is getting worse, but I think he'll see the year out. Gordon Banks: He seems more like Tommy Chong at this stage, but he's one to keep an eye out on. Jacques Chirac: Recent hospitalizations makes him a better pick for 2017 than he was for 2016. Paul Gascoigne: Putting drug addicts on deathlist is tricky, as they could die tomorrow, or they could die 20 years from now. Although I don't think he's seeing his 70s at the rates he's going at... John Noakes: Like Scales, he is a case of being put on the list too early.

Zsa Zsa is next. Six remain...

So he hired another drop 40 hopeful, Errol Christie, to do the job.

No one is celebrating the complete demise of the 2003 list?

I was right in thinking that Zsa Zsa would die late in the year... Wrong year though.

Last word sorted out?

Two down, one to go. 3 dead one to go if you include the King of Thailand.That's actually quite spooky. I hope Kirk enjoyed his party ! Make that 4 with Susan Mushatt-Jones.

Something slightly overlooked is that 2003 is now the second list to be completely wiped out, and the 1991 list is down to Beenhaker

Think again. 2012 had the top 3 all dead and so did 2013

Zsa Zsa for most people:http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-38360302

BBC, the important one, has it: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-38360302

None... unless it's Campbell to annoy us.
