Steve

Congrats on your first hit Arnold Spielberg who was in position 9 on your list, so just 249 to go!!!

I reckon 98% of these will still be alive on January 1st 2022.

Continuing with the sporting theme another couple of suggestions to consider - cricket umpire legend Dickie Bird and flat race jockey superior Lester Piggott

Joanne Froggatt (Actress in Downton Abbey, Liar, Dark Angel, Coronation Street) is 40 today, Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays lead singer) is 58 today, Willy Russell (Dramatist - Blood Brothers, Educating Rita) is 73 today,

Many happy returns!!!

I am genuinely sorry to hear your news. I was really hoping you would have been accepted.

I really do think it is safe to say now that this is all over bar the shouting and we can all get back to normal.

Bill Clinton is 74 today

Two legendary actresses celebrate their birthdays today, Jill St John is 80 (played first American Bond Girl Tiffany Chase in Diamonds Are Forever) and Debra Paget is 87

LFN it seems like you and I are never going to get along. But I will humbly apologise for the nasty comment I said to you the other day about wanting to see your obit on here. I wouldn’t, nor anybody else of this site for that matter. It seems like we come at things from different angles and that’s one of the reasons why I joined the site in the first place, the diversity and variety of comments. Well I’m genuinely sorry and no matter what insults you will hurl at me in the future I won’t stoop so low to post anything so vile.

He would be the sunshine of our lives if he makes it on to the 2021 list and delivers us a hit. We could all then say Isn’t He Lovely

Depending on how many of these have fallen by the wayside Book I may just take you up on the offer

As I am recovering from my Covid scare I’m sitting here bored so thought I would throw my hat in the ring and predict what the full 2021 death list may look like should these candidates even make it to the starting line.

Thank you very much indeed for this information, greatly appreciated torbrexbones. Even if they don’t contact me I will feel as though I have done my put putting my name forward to try and help in this pandemic.

How do you apply to be a volunteer? I wouldn’t mind offering myself as a volunteer to test the virus

Robert Redford is 84 today

I suppose you could say James has had a Whale of his time while he has lasted in his soon to be cut short life span

John Humphrys (Mastermind host) is 77 today, Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) is 71 today and Claire Richards from pop group Steps is 43 today.

Maybe he has had the care home soup but one of the care workers got so fed up of his cantankerous attitude they decided to lace it

I don’t think any of those trio of Corrie ladies you mention are going anywhere anytime soon

At least I give a list of names of those celebrating their birthdays. So LFN get over yourself. It is with such sadness we can’t post your obit in the ’Deathlisters who are dead’ thread

Do you really think I give a toss what you think knobhead

John Challis is 78 today

Sir Trevor McDonald is 81 today

Ulrika Jonsson is 53 today
