Devastating news. The machete coming out was a truly unique sight, barely topped since.

Ideas and possibilities for 2024
Octopus of Odstock replied to Paul Bearer's topic in DeathList Forum
There's not a lot extra about his health than earlier in the year, but he does finally reveal how old he is, which helps with DDP selection (52). He's in the final shortlist of 20 that I'm trying to shoehorn in a DDP team that I've already selected 18! 38 in 20 doesn't go... -
Or the Sky documentary on his life which didn't feature him talking at all.

Who Should Be On The 2024 Deathlist
Octopus of Odstock replied to Joey Russ's topic in DeathList Forum
Jonnie Irwin Duke of Kent Linda Nolan Rob Burrow George Eastham Shane MacGowan Esther Rantzen Roberta Flack Simon Cowell (wildlife) Franz Beckenbauer Michael Tilson Thomas Nigel Starmer-Smith James Whale Are all famous, solid picks in ill-health. If you want to add an aged sportsman, then Parnelli Jones is getting increasingly frail. -

And Ruth Langsford's mother too! -
Ryan Minor, DDP pick, has entered hospice - https://eu.oklahoman.com/story/sports/college/sooners/2023/11/19/ryan-minor-former-oklahoma-sooners-star-placed-in-hospice-care-stage-iv-colon-cancer/71635450007/ Would imagine it's more akin to a Rosalynn Carter than Jimmy Carter timeline here, sadly.

Tbh, I wasn't expecting any of the racers to have gone, but good to know. I have checked Scotland's People recently, so I'm pretty happy that list is up to date. If the namesakes - with the full names - were almost correct, I think it likely they are the ones (especially with the rarer names). This is really good, you've save me lots of time. -

Brilliant, so is it just the 2 from the entire 2022 GRO? Wood and Griffiths?

Thank you. To be honest, all the information we have is there. If you scroll along on the first post, you can see their full name (if known). I appreciate it's not the clearest table, but it's the best I have with the forum restrictions. The dates of birth are relatively solid, although the odd year may be different. I'll have to look into this .html business as there's racing drivers I want to check too. -

GRO okay is up to 21 (haven't seen 2022 uploaded yet) and means there is no-one of that name dead in GRO. Alive.means they're alive (for certain) X means not sure. -

Relatively good, bear in mind the data on Hugmans comes from data compiled for over 40 years. Of course, though, some people fudge their age. I'd say it's 90 per cent accurate -
I recently read about a reunion for the Shadow F1 team employees. Most significant team members were there, but one missing due to 'ill health' was former team boss and Grand Prix driver Alan Rees. Might be worth considering, especially for a theme team. He'll obit With a QO without too many issues.
