2021 looks like being a bad year for Deathlist with no deaths from the list since April despite COVID. Fingers crossed for a rush before the year end.

Sad news. I met him once - he was an absolute gentleman (and a brilliant Manuel!!) RIP

Still clinging on!... only reported 29 mins ago in Australia, ( http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-27/mandela-in-critical-but-stable-condition/4916654 ) which is not bad considering it's about 15 years behind in many areas!.... and I notice that this thread has been going for more than 9 years!! Is this a record for someone on the list?

A train hits a bus load of Catholic school girls and they all perish. They are all in heaven trying to enter the pearly gates past St. Peter. St. Peter asks the first girl, "Jessica, have you ever had any contact with a penis?" She giggles and shyly replies, "Well I once touched the head of one with the tip of my finger." St. Peter says, "OK, dip the tip of your finger in The Holy Water and pass through the gate." St. Peter asks the next girl the same question, "Jennifer have you ever had any contact with a penis?" The girl is a little reluctant but replies, "Well once I fondled and stroked one." St. Peter says, "OK, dip your whole hand in The Holy Water and pass through the gate." All of a sudden there is a lot of commotion in the line of girls, one girl is pushing her way to the front of the line. When she reaches the front of the line St. Peter says, "Lisa! What seems to be the rush?" The girl replies, "If I'm going to have to gargle that Holy Water, I want to do it before Tiffany sticks her arse in it".

The Jewish E L B O W A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife. "You come to the front door of the apartment. I am in apartment 301 . There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow , push button 301. I will buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow , push 3. When you get out, I'm on the left. With your elbow , hit my doorbell." "Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow? .......... "What . . . .. ... You coming empty handed?"

..which will take him into 2013!

ABC News: "Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela will spend a fourth day in hospital, and his wife says his trademark "sparkle" is waning."

It will be a sad day for the world when he goes - but obviously a good day for DL I see that we're on Page 13 and he could be number 13 this year...

Should Guests be allowed to post? Seems that when they do the threads often descend to Trollsville (or is it just me?)

WTF???

Nelson Mandela would be my guess for no.13. I agree with comments re: Thatcher; one comedian suggested that after the event her grave be turned into a urinal.
