    Well, no time like the present to drag out that infamous pic of the launch of Radios 1 and 2 and see who has copped it.

     

    1967-DJ-group-1_1476482i.jpg

     

    Back row (l to r): Tony Blackburn (1943), Jimmy Young (1921), Kenny Everett (1944-1995), Duncan Johnson (1938), Programme Controller Robin Scott (1920-2000), David Ryder (?), Dave Cash (1942), Pete Brady (1942), David Symonds (1943). Middle row (l to r): Bob Holness (1928-2012), Terry Wogan (1938), Barry Alldiss (1930-1982), Mike Lennox (1940), Keith Skues (1939), Chris Denning (1941), Johnny Moran (c1943, last heard of 2007?), Pete Myers (1939-1998). Front row (l to r): Pete Murray (1925), Ed Stewart (1941-2016), Pete Drummond (1943), Mike Raven (1924-1997), Mike Ahern (1942-2009) and John Peel (1939-2004)

    I see only 22 people on the picture. You count one person too much in the middle row.

    There was no surprising big death in 2015. So I choose C. Lee.

    So if there HAD been a surprising death that would have been the 'biggest' death?

    SC

     

    No. Death can be suprising and death can be big. There were big deaths and there were suprising deaths, but there were no suprising big deaths.

    Well the good news is that he is also the 25 point pick on my inverse deadpool so win-win.

     

     

    Speaking of being smug...is there an award for this sweepstake, and when do you stop cheating bastards from putting in a late entry to steal my glory?

     

     

    Nobody could enter after 2015. And as for award? When you visit Estonia, then let me know. But before of that - try to win.

    I actually aren't very optimistic about this years list. Max number of hits around 12-13.

     

    Me neither.

     

    I think last year the whole thing with not being able to get past 14 hits despite waiting nearly 2 months for a death was partly karma for not including Sir Nicholas Winton on the list. I would have had him at #1 on the 2015 list with Zsa Zsa second.

     

    Lee Yuan Kew should also definitely have been on last year's list.

     

    This year? There are some good picks on this year's list, but also some major omissions and some iffy picks as well. Some of these "iffy picks" are new blood, further down the list, and some of them I don't actually know that much about. So I agree with you. I don't see this year's list as being as good as last year's, but who knows, time will tell!

     

    Yes, they missed huge chances last year. Though I mostly have King Abdullah on my mind. Lee Kuan Yew right at second place of missed chances. They were both already going down in December 2014. And the list got a fluke with John Nash, so the necessary luck was there.

     

    I think this year's list still has good potential. Still too many very old people waiting for death. Joao Havelange is a lock this year, in my opinion. Zsa Zsa however might have another year, simply because I think it's now obvious that she inherited her mother's longevity genes. And her mother lived to 101 (or 102?).

     

     

    Zsa Zsa, Havelange, De Havilland, Graham, Wouk, Douglas, Reagan, Lynn, Castro and LaMotta have been " a lock" also for 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005... They don't live forever, but to believe that (all/most) of them will die in 2016 is very optimistic. Maybe one or two of them will die. Only dog knows who.

    I don't know, he's like a placeholder so that the committee fulfills the rule the replace 25 people each year. I think Eddie Large would have been a better pick.

     

    Nope. Eddie Large and James Randi are both bad picks.

    forgot to explain what I was doing. I am talling up how the success rate of each spot on the list for example only one hit happened at spot 40 that short of thing.

    I have read this five times and I have absolutely no idea what it means.

     

    What he means is that person who has been listed for example position nr 14 has died 14 times in the history of Deathlist.net.

    Fucking hell. Six (!) members of my DDP 2016 team died in December 2015 :banghead:

     

    06.12.2015 - Holly Woodlawn

    19.12.2015 - Jimmy Hill

    19.12.2015 - Greville Janner

    28.12.2015 - Lemmy

    29.12.2015 - Pavel Srnicek

    31.12.2015 - Howard Davis Jr

     

    And after 01.01.2016 nobody dies from that list...

     

    Should one or more of your choices croak it before 31st December 2015, then a substitute will replace him/her.

     

    Does this mean that Howard Davis Jr is replaced by my subtitute or no?

     

    How many substitutes did you provide? I only submitted my list yesterday as too many had been dropping dead.

     

    I submitted my team today before Howard Davis Jr death. I had 3 subtitutes. Helen Fawkes should take his place, but did Howard Davis Jr die before 31st December or did he die on 31st December? Is there a difference or is it just badly phrased?

    Will Howard Davis Jr obit in 2016?

     

    I'll say no.

     

     

    Makes it fourteen DDP squad candidates to have died early now.

    Shit. I sent my team in 1:05 PM with him in the list. He will be replaced by Helen Fawekes now... god dammit - 6 of my DDP 2016 list members have died in December.
