    Nancy Reagan

    she just has to last till march 11, 2019 to beat Bess Truman and become the longest lived first lady ever. Who thinks she'll make it?Heck no. I doubt she'll be alive a year from now, let alone three. You say that but at the 2012 presidential election I was suggesting that Nancy could die to swing some sympathy votes for Mitt Romney and here we are just starting the cycle again.

    World War II Veterans

    I'm ansolutely certain that there will still be vets surviving beyond 2027. The war ended in 1945, so the youngest vets would be born around 1929, and would "only" be 98 at that time., which is younger than several DP candidates.I may be a bit optimistic, but IMO a reasonable estimate would be 2042-2044. WWI ended 26 years before WWII, and 2011+26=2037, but I think it is reasonable to expect that medical advances and greater number of WWII combatants will add a few years to that. My Dad was born in 1929. He did not see active service during the war but did his National Service immediately in the post war period. I think there may be some left after 2029.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    I get 19 points for Sheila Sim. Gets me off the mark.

    Thanks, sorted, Toast is up to 699 points And at least I have got some points on the board before it is all done and dusted.

    Mollie Sugden et al

    If true, could be to get the family mourning out of the way for Sheila Sim's sake before the press announce it? With her health, and losing her husband and brother in 3 months, I doubt she'll be about in twelve months time. Dead is where she'll be: https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2016/sheila-sim-widow-of-richard-attenborough-dies-at-93/ Sheila Sim dead at 93 - sure she's DDP fodder too. Check your deadpools too. Awaiting QO. Edit: Mirror obliges: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/richard-attenboroughs-widow-sheila-sim-7213809 Confusingly this has brought me points in both the Deathrace and The Hare's Deadpool.

    Derby Dead Pool 2016

    With my estimated 8 points for George Weidenfeld I might get as high as joint 13th. Still a way off the leaders.

    I will go for 30th Jan because that is the day I am leaving on a work trip and it always seems to happen that way. Last year I went to Vietnam and Sam Simon died.

    He played Penny's ex-husband in Just Good Friends. (Sylvia Kay is still alive.. Just sayin)

    Nicholas Parsons

    Whilst he looks a bit older than when I last saw him pictured I still still think he looks a few years younger than 92.I think it was wise to leave him off this year.Still working and walking about (albeit with a stick) and has no known health problems or even rumours of any health problems. I did read in an article that they now only record JAM at the BBC radio theatre rather than sending it touring round the country.

    If I asked you to borrow £1 and you only had 50p. You would claim to have no money.....
  22. I only recognise 4 of these names. Until I started Deathlisting I had no idea who Valerie Harper was.

    Paul Gascoigne

    Spoilsport, I'll just have to go and look it up now. Ehrm, To me neither. In this context it is the same as rounding 0.5 to 1 (or 0). The question is a big assumption that you would always round up.

    Harry Potter

    Is it worth speculating on the Curse of Harry Potter yet Richard Harris, Richard Griffiths, Alan Rickman.......

    Harry Potter

    I compared the Harry Potter films to taking the finest ingredients and deep frying them. When I say the finest ingredients I am referring to Gambon, Shaw, Griffiths, Smith, Coltrane, Wannamker etc not Radcliffe, Grint & Watson
