Ooops we* did it again: One fine list with 50 German, Austrian or Swiss people, likely to die in 2022! *we are: gcreptile, Prophet, TomTomTelekom, WEP and Book. Our first attempt in 2021 was well received by forum members and also the list was successful in itself: 10 hits, double figues, not so bad at all– that's why we wanted to try a second time. The result will be shown in the next post. Some picks are famous outside the D-A-CH-states, some picks I had to research by myself but hey – they will all receive an official germanspeaking obituary. Keep 'em coming! Viel Erfolg, D-A-CH-Liste!!!

3 teams are in; it's always a little exciting before you send the mail... one last check-up, one last thought about your teams, one last glass of wine... ok, let's go! To the hosts: Thank you all for your great work!!!

Same here. I got 7 rejections yesterday and my 7 subs were ok this morning.

Got your list, thank you!

Oh, didn't get a list from you yet...

Oh dear, I'm sure I had 25 at first but then I deleted the numbers... and the rest is history

Thanks for joining again - and good luck!

So, I don't give any guidelines on strategy and tactics The task is actually clear: How will the Committee decide? What will the DeathList look like in 2022? The Committee has its own rules and I think it will obey them. In the past I have certainly received predictions where more than 25 or less than 25 were taken over from the previous year. This is the personal decision of the creator and is accepted by me.

What would the Committee do???

Desmond Tutu is a popular pick here by 14:22, Annami, Bibliogryphon, Book, Buffalo Phil, CaptainChorizo, chilean way, Etushispushingupdaisies, msc, Prophet, RoverAndOut, The Old Crem, ThereWillBeDeaths7, TomTomTelekom, Vaagheid and WEP, but wasn't chosen by the Committee. Maybe the last big hit in 2021? With so many (potential) candidates left in 2021 - how will the DL 2022 look like, what do you think? Well, check in for next year's DL Prediction Game!

Oh dear The DL 2022 has lost so many potential candidates (new or returnee) in the last few weeks - Anthony Sher, Ray Illingworth, James Brokenshire, Alan Igglesden, F.W. de Klerk and now Desmond Tutu.

Ah, you also do tell jokes?

One more hit for @chilean way thanks to Lucia Hiriart!

Since she simply does not forfeit her seven lives, Khaleda Zia can celebrate her birthday three times a year: https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/politics/khaleda-has-three-birthdays-6-agencies-reports-hc-343741

Unfortunately, they will probably never make the list

Lots of good ideas and suggestions! If you want to predict what the DL will look like, please take part in the DL Prediction Game:

Good idea. Probably one of the few German actors who would get a qo.

In for Lars Høgh: Russell Bishop please.

For a few minutes I was really sad and shocked. I once disguised myself as Nana Mouskouri at Carnival (glasses, wig, dress - ready!), and I still have a deep admiration for her.

I really can't explain why I hate some songs that much. I think it's a quirk or something like that

As you said before, you haven't given as much thought to the actual order as the Committee would order it, so there is certainly more in it for you! As for your hits in general: Great! So try again in the next DeathList Prediction Game, the thread is up.

Sometimes you just hate songs, one of them is definitely "Music" for me. Others are e.g. "In the year 2525" or "What's up" or "Baker Street" - I can't listen to them and my whole body shakes with disgust!

Yes of course, Bob Dole is a hit for everyone (like Prince Philip was in April)!
