    Thoughts and Opinions on the 2021 Deathlist

    Glad to see the defence of the inclusion and to put them into some context but in a list like the one above they are names I did not recognise. I understand why with Fontaine and Gehry but I accept that I should have known Kunedra. Still less famous than Stanley Baxter who needs to be in next year to have a race off with Her Majesty

    If you win you get all five - so why not I suspect the US posters might gulp a little at trying to understand the difference between Union & League

    Very Blue Peter

    Mentioned him to my wife earlier - not a flicker of recognition. That would have been our era Janet Ellis, Simon Groom & Peter Duncan

    Rugby does seem to get a disproportionate consideration Surprised no-one has picked it for Scavenger Hunt yet

    Queen Elizabeth II

    My Auntie was told by her Doctor that he had detected a potential cancer when she was 88. She already had a number of health issues. She asked him straight out "Is that what is going to kill me?" he replied that other health concerns were more pressing so she said lets not worry about it then.

    For someone who complained about Stanley Baxter there are some pretty obscure names on this list.

    Thoughts and Opinions on the 2021 Deathlist

    My only thought re Willie Nelson is that he has been quite active and touring and campaigning for charities. This is where it gets difficult because you see people like that and think they look frail but there are probably a lot more frail people who you don't see. However he does strike me as one who would want to go whilst still working

    Dune is absolutely fantastic. The normally picky Mrs Biblo said she could not fault it.

    No I think they were expected to only grope their own arses. This was quite a few years ago though

    Queen Elizabeth II

    The calendars and diaries will all be printed already so it would be difficult administratively but all bets would be off because we do not know what the mourning arrangements will be

    Unless there is any evidence of ill health I would not go anywhere near Andrews or Cleese. I don't even think Cleese will be the next Python to go

    John Prescott

    Interesting though that he has outlived three of the five people who followed him into his Shadow cabinet roles
