Yeah first and only time so far I have lost DDP points due to a death not being reported.

Yeah but Coleen Rooney would be a deathlisty name if she was ill I would say as she is known in her own right through extension of the profile her marriage . Similarly Sharon Osbourne would be a famous enough name for the Death List but wouldn't be if she had never married Ozzy. None of the first ladies of the US on the list over the years would have been famous if it was not for their marriages and if Prince Philip had never married the Queen he would have just been an obscure foreign Royal and if it wasn't for his daughters social media skills we would never have known who Tom Moore was. Draper was an influential lobbyist who was a key part of the New Labour movement and had a number of notable scandals.Just because his wife kept his plight in the spotlight is irrelevant he is still more famous in his own right than say Bill Gates Dad or Elizabeth Edwards and most political and royal spouses. I didn't even pick him for my shadowlist as I partly overlooked him but also when his name came into my head I queried whether he was deathlisty enough but there was merit to his inclusion.His obituaries cover all the things he did behind the scenes for the Labour party.He was famous for reasons other than his impending demise and was always going to get obituaries from every major paper and news station.Which by the committees own definitions is enough. Never known so much anger over the committee being bold rather than just stuffing the list with seemingly healthy A list nonogenarians as they have been criticised for in the past.The committee have had 2 hits in 2 days I say good calls.The Deathlist has never looked stronger this early in the year since I followed it.

I think it is because she overshares however I can see why she does.As a journalist she probably sees it as a duty to share her husbands story which was importantant.I do think at times it was very intrusive and uncomfortable but as is life.I remember Barbara Pointon received similar flack for showing her husband with Alzheimers on his deathbed and before when he was ravaged with alzheimers.I get the educational value but would hate to be filmed or film anyone I loved in such a condition. I still like Garraway though from what I have read of her.I would hope she stops sharing now though and focuses on her and her children's grief.She has shared more than enough.

Thomas P Stafford in to replace Derek Draper as third sub.

Well I don`t think Kate would wait a day top announce it so I reckon it was today.

Jimmy Carter

She said she looked good for any age I believe. Her voice was bad towards the end and she was clearly very frail buy less so than your average 100 year old and she still had all her marbles and looked like someone a fair few years younger ( not under 90 though) .

Her son is a sports writer for the mail and wrote about his father's death 3 years ago so It seems inconceivable he wouldn't announce his mother's death.

Eileen Derbyshire dying off radar won't happen.Even her husband got a QO and had no claim to fame.Her son would announce it plus she is known to be close to many of her Corrie colleagues especially William Roache who can't exactly keep a secret.

Hence why I didn't pick her.Picked Carter as still don't see him making 100.I also picked June Spencer but only on a theme team as she was a possible but not too likely Drop 40 pick .Also picked William Russell on a theme team but he is still in his nineties until November plus again it's a theme team so different thresholds.

Jimmy Carter

Derek Draper as my new sub following Glynis Johns death please.

I went with both.

Jimmy back to being the oldest on the list.

She looked good when interviewed for her birthday.Im glad she was still good for her age until at least near the end.

At least she was rightfully put on the DL just in time though. Brilliant actress though absolutely should have been a Dame.

One of the "I'm entitled to care " brigade who doesn't realise that Doctors aren't obliged to work as Doctors so if loads quit the care he receives will be in danger.

So what does he want the Doctors to do?Just work until they burnout or all leave as they are unable to carry on?

Tom Moore in 2021.

I would hope the Doctors discussed his case with each other. In all seriousness though what a dumb cunt he is.

Nailed on QO from all the big sources when he dies though.

True.Surprising there haven`t been any big sources covering this.Big name in F1 although less so of course than his younger brother.

True but Walters is higher than her on the list.

Surprised she isn`t higher on the list.

If this was announced before the end of the year.Would have been on the Drop 40 and maybe the Death List.
