A little off topic, admittedly, but: If you look at the DL from 2007, I find the most interesting that the top 3 consists of a re-entry and 2 newcomers: re > 1 Fidel Castro new > 2 Ariel Sharon new > 3 Ruby Muhammad At that time, that was not unusual at all, for example in 2006: new > 1 Lou Rawls and new > 2 Alfred di Stefano 2008: re > 1 Charlton Heston and new > 2 Sydney Pollack But my favorite is definitely the DL from 1993 (Caution: The figures from the previous year do not match on the homepage!): new > 1 Doris Speed new > 2 Kim Il Sung new > 3 Victor Borge re > 4 Clive Dunn new > 5 Audrey Hepburn re > 6 Alistair Cooke re > 7 Richard Nixon There will probably never be anything like that again! And finally: The last new entry at number 1 was Wilko Johnson in 2014. It is very unlikely that this will happen again on the next DL, but it would be desirable. In recent years, the top of the DL has been very static, which is what I expect for 2025 as well (unless the entire top 20 dies by the end of the year ).

The 21 I would drop at this very moment are: 10. Robert Wagner 18. Patricia Routledge 19. Clint Eastwood 21. Vanessa Redgrave 22. Desmond Morris 26. Hans Blix 27. Julie Walters 31. Louis Farrakhan 32. Norman Tebbit 34. Daniel Barenboim 37. Dick Cheney 38. Prunella Scales 39. Robert Duvall 41. Brigitte Bardot 42. Raul Castro 43. Imelda Marcos 45. Buzz Aldrin 46. Sonny Rollins 47. Sly Stone 48. Tom Baker 50. Joe Bugner I would keep the Pope just because they missed Benedict XVI back in the days. Also Linda Nolan and James Whale because they are terminally ill and relatively young compared to most of the other candidates. Mel Brooks is too big to miss imo, I would not dare to drop him, although he doesn't seems to be near the end. If there are a few more deaths before the end of the year, I would put Norman Tebbit, Sonny Rollins or Desmond Morris back on the list. All in all – it's tough to drop 21 names!!!

I will contact you via pm.

Just a quick question: Are there any other* Germans, Austrians or Swiss people in this forum? (*apart from the usual suspects )
