    Boris Johnson

    Iain was a deeper thinking and more effective in general than Nadine fucking Dorries!

    Klaus Schwab

    You know how I've spent the better part of 12 years deploring "I don't know who this guy is and I don't care" DL posts given there's Google and everything? Well, I still don't know who this guy is. And I don't care!

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Yeah but you could have written a book about Diana in the 90s and had a similar track record based off the bloody obvious.

    Boris Johnson

    Running out of options if "every Tory is a useless cunt" tbh. Jokes aside, I am a great believer in crap governments earning the right to be sacked by the voter.

    Very Blue Peter

    Yes, duh? Kill the joke.

    Very Blue Peter

    No wonder! I believe he had the It factor.
  7. Not to distract from the general point, but on the luck matter, in 2002, she lost her mum and sister. In 2022, she's still recovering from losing her husband. And worst of all, in 2012, she had to stand next to David Cameron.

    Political Frailty

    She was also the widow of Richard Sharples, the British governor of Bermuda who was assassinated in the 70s.

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Now I have images of her using the buggy to run over Tory ministers. "Oops, excuse one, one is old and frail. Hehehe!"

    Putin vs Xi

    Pictured - the old guard, in Asia (before someone points out Kingdom was set in Korea, not China - I know, and it was great and all.)

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    He's now cancelled his entire 10 show tour from the end of 2022. (It was just one or two of them when TKOM posted this update above.)

    Only Fools And Horses

    Patrick Murray announces he has been cured of lung cancer,* and his liver cancer is shrinking. *yes, yes, Sir Creep, his word, not mine.

    Lester Piggott

    "Hopefully, he'll pull through." Not quite the message of optimism there from the son in law.

    Alberto Fujimori

    Have you ever seen a name that screams at you: at some point in the next 5 years, the DL are going to put them on the front page, we'll all mock it and sods law that'll be the year they die? Because that is Fujimori for me.

    The 100 Club

    Doesn't surprise me tbh? Angell was widely considered one of the best American sports writers of the 20th Century, akin to their Hugh McIllvanney or Brian Glanville, and I'd certainly heard of him as a result long before I knew about Deathlist. (And note I don't do baseball, at all.) The BBC's standards have gone down somewhat of late, but I'd have considered him a potential BBC name about 20 years ago too. In general sports terms. Good news for most of us then, being Thistle, Clyde, Carlisle, Northampton and other wonderfully mediocre side fans!

    You are obsessed with that tragic no name.

    Derby Dead Pool 2022

    If anyone sees an error on the website, a wizard did it. Or msc. I'm sure you did but never turn down compliments.

    Derby Dead Pool 2022

    Ah I should apologise, @Death Impends was fixing one of my own bits there. Basically, I was too lazy to remember which Grim team it was whenever I threw the original list up, and forgot to double check it. My bad!

    The Dead of 2022

    Yeah, my uncle died in his late 80s a decade ago. When the family mentioned this to one of his neighbours, their reaction was: "Oh no, and he was going to fix up my kitchen!" He remained active and healthy, right up to the day he felt a bit tired, went for a nap, and never woke up. A proper shock, yes, but still considerably preferable to him suffering from cancer or dementia for years imo.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    An ER regular, he was in it for years. Also had a recurring role in The West Wing as the DNC chair, a spot in one of the last original X-Files episodes (about an evil Brady Bunch house, it's crap but he's good in it), and more recent roles in Yellowstone, Fringe and American Horror Story. He was also in 2010's zombie flick The Crazies, as the true to life Mayor who refuses to quarantine his town as shit breaks down.

    He found his way home. RIP. DDP hit, too.

    Aaron Ramsey

    Aaron Ramsey completely missed his crucial penalty in last nights Europa League final, so look out for one of your favourite national treasures coming back from the dead instead.

    British Character Actors

    My issue is for an allegedly acclaimed stage actor born in London, she must have a paper trail a mile long. But I'd never heard of her before this. My suspicions are her imdb page is an amalgamation of 2 or 3 actresses with the same name.

    British Character Actors

    It's been wiped off the internet now, by looks of it, but when imdb was new, someone claimed that regular 60s actor George Pastell was born in 1886, which would make him early-70s in Tiger Bay, mid-70s in From Russia with Love, and 82 years old in Tomb of the Cybermen. Pictured - 82 year old. Despite this being bollocks by basic evidence (watch him scrambling nimbly down cliff faces in Dr Who, or running around in one of many 60s thrillers) some people believed this one for ages, until research pointed out he was actually born in 1923. So, he was actually 45, not 82, in the picture above. Who knew? We're not that far off the 15 year error in Jane Freeman's age either. Basically, yes, if she's 98, I'd be stunned.
