Just popping this in here for clarity in case of any confusion. I have Sarah Kennedy in my list, and Wiki has disambiguation for her name, one to a US actress of advancing years, one to a voice actress on Peppa Pig! I mean the Sarah Kennedy - former Radio 2 presenter and somewhat a fan of turning up to work drunk.

OK, here's my 'new' list, with Scargill on it. (at #23) Michael J Fox as a late sub. 1. Vlad Putin 2. Frank Field MP 3. Clint Eastwood 4. Jimmy Carter 5. Henry Kissinger 6. Norman Tebbitt 7. Rob Burrow 8. Vlad Zelenskyy 9. Jean Marie Le Pen 10. Mitch McConnell 11. James Earl Jones 12.Ray Reardon 13. Yoko Ono 14. Sarah Kennedy 15. .Rolf Harris 16. . Richard Wilson 17. David Hockney 18. Dennis Skinner 19. .Ozzy Osbourne 20. .Ester Rantzen 21. Paul Gambaccini 22. Andrew Tate 23. Arthur Scargill (was Pope Benedict) 24..Cliff Richard 25. David Jason 26. Henry Kelly 27. Shane McGowan 28. Dick Van Dyke 29. Sandy Gall 30.Cleo Laine 31. Noam Chomsky 32. Douglas Hurd 33. Tony Blackburn 34. Chris Denning (former Radio 1) 35. Jonathan King 36. Engelbert Humperdinck 37 . Wenche Myhre 38. Phil Collins 39. Diana Ross 40. Robert Plant 41. Diane Fienstein 42. Dan Quayle 43 James Addison Baker[ 44. Nicholas F. Brady 45. Eric Burdon 46. Steven Berkoff 47. Debbie Harry 48. Tina Turner 49. Mel Brooks 50. King Charles III Sub - Michael J Fox

I edited out Pope Benedict and entered Arthur Scargill and added in a sub too, in case something happens in the next 12hrs or so. Hope I've done that right

First attempt at a DL of my own, even though I've been knocking about on here since the noughties. 1. Vlad Putin 2. Frank Field MP 3. Clint Eastwood 4. Jimmy Carter 5. Henry Kissinger 6. Norman Tebbitt 7. Rob Burrow 8. Vlad Zelenskyy 9. Jean Marie Le Pen 10. Mitch McConnell 11. James Earl Jones 12.Ray Reardon 13. Yoko Ono 14. Sarah Kennedy 15. Rolf Harris 16. . Richard Wilson 17. David Hockney 18. Dennis Skinner 19. .Ozzy Osbourne 20. .Ester Rantzen 21. Paul Gambaccini 22. Andrew Tate 23. Arthur Scargill (was Pope Benedict) 24..Cliff Richard 25. David Jason 26. Henry Kelly 27. Shane McGowan 28. Dick Van Dyke 29. Sandy Gall 30.Cleo Laine 31. Noam Chomsky 32. Douglas Hurd 33. Tony Blackburn 34. Chris Denning (former Radio 1) 35. Jonathan King 36. Engelbert Humperdinck 37 . Wenche Myhre 38. Phil Collins 39. Diana Ross 40. Robert Plant 41. Diane Fienstein 42. Dan Quayle 43 James Addison Baker[ 44. Nicholas F. Brady 45. Eric Burdon 46. Steven Berkoff 47. Debbie Harry 48. Tina Turner 49. Mel Brooks 50. King Charles Sub - Michael J Fox

Not to forget that Jeremy Beadle was only 59 and pneumonia carried him off. And in case anyone thinks I'm being awful, I was hospitalised (aged 51) with pneumonia in February 2020 and it looked a bit dicey for me for a moment. Took a long while to recover too.

That might be a record in itself. Though, I'm sure someone will inform of the most catastrophic period of time....

Has there ever been 3 in a day?

The Universe has a balance - nothing for months, then a rush, and now 2 in a day. It is the way....

4 Deaths all year and then 2 in 2 days. A bit strange.

Clint Eastwood will be 93 in 2023.

An open goal.... as it were.

Oh dear, how sad.... nevermind.

Card in, clock out.

18 is remarkable. But even better is now not having to see 2017 and 2020 share the title at the top of the DL, for the next decade or so...

One of those celebs who I didn't know were still alive, I only looked him up the other day after hearing a mention of him on the radio and thinking 'surely he's already dead'.... Is there any charity shop vinyl section anywhere in the UK that doesn't have at least one Des O'Conner album in it?
