John Key

True, maybe I should broaden the New Zealanders I know... just as long as they're not common people.

Maybe I should be knowing some of these NZers, but I don't know either of these nobodies Good job Torva on leading the month!

Oh, right on. I didn't dig very deep on my search obviously Interesting discussion that followed, to share information or not to share? That is the question. In the past I've occasionally just posted any list I make to the competition thread, but because this one is 1v1 you might be catching me not doing that

I'm a NZ history student (third year) and I've done some work on my genealogy (not deep research, more googling and attempted compiling). Let me be clear, I've never heard of her and google comes up with very little, but what I did read makes it sound like she's worked for some good things and has lived helped others. Famous, absolutely not. But that doesn't mean I think she should be excluded. Other than being 81 years old, is her health actually a concern anyway? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/history/news/article.cfm?c_id=500832&objectid=12182899

Reminder to self: Specify joker Taking my #1 is fair enough, Bracknell's not too lively anyway. Cheers msc!

Was sleeping, I'm on it!

Is there a thread for posting shadow deathlists or deathlists of any kind and having them rated? I always thought it would be interesting. Comment here with your shadowlist or review someone elses shadowlist at the risk of your own being reviewed if its in the signature! Categories up for review could be: How many names are actually notable/household names How many are actually likely to die Any other major flaws / strengths you can think of

Taken too soon

What kind of road was he driving on, a public road or a private/semi-private road?

That was majestic, got any more words about this?

My #50 is usually meant to be a terrible pick lol. Last year it was Grace Mugabe, because she had crazy in her eyes. Coincidentally in 2018 there were rumours that her health was declining. Kevin Spacey I chose just because he seems to be going batshit crazy, if he wasn't already! I'll keep having my #50 as a bad pick for as long as I do deathlists! If he dies I'll come back to you for calling him a terrible, terrible pick though Definitely too many oldies though.

Queen Elizabeth II 45. Vera Lynn 46. Stirling Moss 47. Norman Lloyd 48. Hugh Downs 49. Hal Holbrook 50. Kevin Spacey It's in my signature but perhaps I could start off with my list. Off the bat, I've got names like Kevin Spacey, Queen Elizabeth II and Jimmy Carter who are notable and household names but in all likelihood won't die this year. I've also got a few that I've gotten because they were discussed here / my personal research made me inclined to believe their health could be at fault despite me never hearing of them (e.g. a few Indian names on the list this year, and this site is very western/British orientated) Also just about every second name was chosen just because of their advanced age rather than actual odds of dying from a terminal illness, which can make for a boring Deathlist. Anyone else can feel free to take a stab

I getchu guys, but I thought his feet were more interesting than the top half since he could just be sleeping. Looking again, his fingers are also bloated - if it's not normal for him, it's definitely a circulation thing which could be happening at the end of his life - if you could call a regular day anything else for a 111 year old.

His feet look swollen. That's something to do with circulation or blood clots, not a good sign at all. Or for us who have put him on our deathlist, a bloody good sign.

I'm in Because it's monthly I'll have to try my best to remember, if luck has it I'll be eliminated early

The rules weren't very specific on how to do the list If it's an issue I can of course add more in good faith, I just saw that the names and number of deaths predicted were marked separately and the rules didn't specify!

Kirk Douglas Herman Wouk Olivia de Havilland Leah Bracknell (JOKER) Robert Mugabe I predict 11 deaths.

Sweet, how does next week Thursday sound?

It would have to be someone of clear mind, can speak English and of historical significance, if I only had one choice. Jimmy Carter - I'd love to talk to him interview style. Prince Philip - I just want to dig in and see how racist he is, have a good laugh at some of the things he says. He seems like someone who will be forever mumbling racist nonsense under his breath. Henry Kissinger - Just to stare at evil right in the face. Bob Hawke - if only to drink a quick beer with. I'm not even a beer drinker, but I can pretend to be. Wouldn't want to seem uncool in front of the Hawke. Jacques Chirac - no idea how fluent his english is, but his politics are both very interesting and boring. He'd be interesting to talk to about his Presidency. Mikhail Gorbachev - same with Chirac about English, but man I'd wanna talk to him about Putin. He's spoken about it, but I wonder if he could go back in time and do things differently how he would do it to stop the dictatorship Putin has created.

Another 30th deadline My bad for coming here on the 31st. Good luck all, and may you take away my title!

You're welcome! My heart skipped a beat when I saw a 2019 thread too, hope you're not too bothered by the double threads
