Steve

Will Camel Virus (MERS) take off in the coming weeks and months and claim a few scalps???

I have now edited this MPFC into a list to save you the hard work.

MPFC would you be able to put this into a list for me as I have done this on my phone and can't list my presumed topplers. If you could I would be extremely grateful.

Christopher Awdry Peter Cellier Lindsey Buckingham Tina Turner (joker) Rolf Harris Frank Field Thelma Barlow Jean Marsh Ruth Buzzi Andy Taylor Roger Corman Norman Lear William B Davis Jack Nicholson Nigel Lawson George Soros Ken Bates Val Kilmer Alan Greenspan James Whale (Subs) Jonnie Irwin Sidney Cooke Song Ping Malcolm Hebden

MPFC so if I decided to post my team today and one of my topplers died before 1st January 2023 am I right in thinking that my first sub would automatically move into that person's place?

My provisional 1-25 can be found on page 38 of this thread.

I wasn't been nasty or sarcastic John Key so hope you weren't offended it just didn't seem right when I read the title and rules.

John Key I think you mean 2023 don't you? Unless we are going live through 2022 all over again lol.

MPFC I am going to join in the fun of this for 2023, it seems good fun, if that is ok of course? I am not going to post my 20 topplers though until later in the month in case December 2022 brings us late carnage.

So are both of these still alive now?

Pleased to see Bamber Gascoigne on there but couldn't find David Trimble.

Where is your pick Joey Russ as I make it past midnight?

I like diego above know I can't participate but my choice would have been Milan Kundera.

I believe this is the 46th round drol

msc, are you going to update this list anytime soon? It's a great list you compiled but a few have left us this year. Maybe put in red those who have deceased or something, just an idea.

I have already included Ricky Tomlinson on my drafted 2023 shadow list.

Carroll Baker and Debra Paget are two other classic movie actresses I think are worthy of consideration. Carroll Baker (Baby Doll, The Big Country, The Carpetbaggers) turns 92 next year whilst Debra Paget (The Indian Tomb, The Ten Commandments) will be 90 next August

Thank you Diego and also to lafyfiona for your congrats messages.

I presume you mean Barbara Barrie?

Ray Clemence, Ray Kennedy, Ray Wilkins, Trevor Cherry, Emlyn Hughes, Paul Mariner and now David Johnson I believe are the 7 from this squad who have now deceased.

Hardly famous but just wanted to say that me and my partner are expecting and due in July

I am now on 10/30. Only just updated to reflect the death of Loretta Lynn.

Keith Farmer 4 time British motorcycling champion dies unexpectedly aged 35. Apologies but not sure how to post an obit from my Android phone.

Following the sad death of Leslie Phillips I have now entered Pope Benedict XVI in spot 14. Continuing the second half of my provisional shadow list: 26) Julie Goodyear 27) Rosalynn Carter 28) Yoko Ono 29) Bob Barker 30) Constantine II 31) Ethel Kennedy 32) Sonny Rollins 33) Paul Hogan 34) Vladimir Putin 35) Liza Minelli 36) June Spencer 37) George Soros 38) Burt Bacharach 39) Kenneth Cope 40) Grace Slick 41) Ricky Tomlinson 42) Dickie Bird 43) William Russell 44) Chaim Topol 45) Sandra Day O' Connor 46) Rob Burrow 47) Gene Hackman 48) Alain Delon 49) Petula Clark 50) Brian Blessed My 5 subs I would offer at this stage are: 1) Ted Turner , 2) Nigel Starmer-Smith, 3) Roberta Flack, 4) Val Kilmer, 5) Alan Greenspan. In a few days time if things remain as they are I will put this list in for Shadow Death List Competition 2023. Whilst I have suggested names others have already listed I've tried to offer some alternative suggestions which I appreciate may appear quite random but of course within any 12 months surprise deaths can happen. Thoughts/ideas I am warmly open too. Good luck to all on here as there are plenty of choices and it is difficult to consider 50 strong candidates.

Norman Tebbit I'm sticking with
