The only way he’ll ever die next year is if he gets euthanazied @LafaucheuseThank you for the feedback. Who do you think would be a good replacment for Delon? Dick Van Dyke? I can see the headlines saying “Dick Van Dyke dead at 97” for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny Rollins would be a decent bet, but may not be famous enough in the UK, same with Lando Buzzanca, Harry Whittington, Rosey Grier and Franco Migliacci. I didn't catch Pope Francis, Buzz Aldrin, or Brian Murphy there either, all of whom are good names for consideration. I can see Billy Dee Williams sadly and near enough unexpectedly passing away next year, too. I hope this helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what is the thing with Chaim Topol, I see him popping out every now and then but can't find anything on his health or else 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm keeping DVD for those reasons. I am deliberating whether to drop him from my unofficial list*, but I don't especially want to because I don't want him to be a miss. *As of 2023, I am going to have two Shadowlists, one "official" and one "unofficial". The Unofficial List is a 50-name list that I shall probably end up using in pools about the forum here and there, while my Official List is my yearly (est.2021) 55-name list that I enter for my own pool among friends. I would combine the two, but "The rules of this pool must be obeyed" (A School for Good and Evil reference, I recommend watching it on Netflix) and so that I may go against my own, but not necessarily everyone else's, I feel that this is the best course of action. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh completely forgot about musharraf health scare this summer that’s true thanks ! And i din’t know about topol, might consider him too now… Putin is a possibility, but I can’t make up my mind rn, I’ll probably wait for the last minute and the last updates to decide weither I should include him or not..

Topol has advanced Alzheimer’s to the point he apparently cannot recognise his son. Vladimir Putin is also an addition I am seriously considering. Musharraf has been on my longlist since the beginning, and will see both of my shortlists if he makes it to 2023. Ironically, I keep forgetting about Topol, but I can cope with that miss over Dick Van Dyke. Putin is shortlisted for my unofficial list, and Lavrov is a sub. Once the leader falls, the rest of the inner circle may follow suit (see the Nazis). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,877 Posted November 6, 2022 Constantine II is very ill, long history of ill health including severe stroke in 2018 and heart attack in 2019 and now on oxygen. I'm suprised he even looked that great in those new pictures as he hadn't been seen since around December 2021 when he was in critical condition with pulmonary edema/pneumonia. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summer in Transylvania 2,213 Posted November 7, 2022 Seeing as a few sneak peeks of lists have been revealed, here is the first draft of my unofficial list, currently unordered: Rolf Harris, Wilhelm Buesing, Henry Kissinger, Jules Walter, Bas de Gaay Fortman, Douglas Hurd, Norman Tebbit, Gianluca Vialli, Bob Barker, Joan Morecambe, Rob Burrow, Harry Belafonte, Sir Michael A. Epstein, Andres Garcia, James Whale, Clive Revill, Tony Bennett, Rosey Grier, Frank Field, Pelé, Roberta Flack, Jeanette Lee, John Astin, Bill Cobbs, Rosalynn Carter, Ted Kaczynski, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Glynis Johns, Khamtai Siphandon(e), Jon Rumney, William Russell, Brian Murphy, Joanne Woodward, Franco Migliacci, Norman Lear, Jacques Delors, Milan Kundera, Andy Taylor, Harry Whittington, Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Francis, Pervez Musharraf, Hazel McCallion, Constantine II, Jimmy Carter, Lucile Randon, Bill Roache, James Earl Jones.

Former priest and presenter who notably hosted Fortean TV on Channel 4. He's 88 in February. He's recently started a Youtube channel and is starting to look his age. Saw him on stage as recently as September and I wouldn't pick him. Granted, outsprinting him in the coffee break was a piece of piss, but he gave a conference presentation, chatted aimiably to everyone and generally still had his paranormal marbles about him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,083 Posted November 7, 2022 Few french prominent names that I'm considering adding to my French list : • Edith Cresson (b. 1934) : first woman prime minister of France between 1991 and 1992. • Jacqueline de Ribes (b. 1929) : socialit, stylist, countess. Still active and looks quite good I must say. • Pierre Perret (b. 1934) : popular singer. Still touring so probably not that frail but one to keep an eye on. • Laurence Badie (b. 1928) : popular actress, frail and rumors of dementia and Alzheimer in the last years. Has retired from public eyes recently. Makes me think of Prunella Scales a lot. • Helene David Weill (b. 1933) : mecene, art collector, part of the David-Weill banker family. Her husband died this year : can it finishes her off ? • Pierre Joxe (b. 1934) : former minister of Armed forces, of the Interior and of industry. hasn't been seen in years now but has been accused of sexual harassment recently. • Catherine Samie (b. 1933) : actress and societaire from the Comédie Française. Hasn't been seen in years too and looked quite frail in this photo from 2016. • Jean Tulard (b. 1933) : historian, universitarian, professor. Still gives conferences but always looked frail. • Pierre Joliot (b. 1932) : scientist, former director of the CNRS, universitarian, brother of Helene Langevin Joliot and grandson of Pierre and Marie Curie. Hasn't been seen in years. • Helene Langevin-Joliot (b. 1925) : scientist, universitarian, great mind, sister of Pierre Joliot and granddaughter of Pierre and Marie Curie. looked frail in recent occasions. • Claude Bessy (b. 1932) : danseuse étoile, famous figure. Was seen in public last year at Patrick Dupont's funeral and wasn't particularly frail. • Genevieve de Fontenay (b. 1932) : head of the Miss France Committee from 1981 to 2007 and miss by herself. Socialit too. Wasn't seen since last year, but we'll probably hear of her soon enough as she will trash talk the current Miss France contest as usual • Grabriel de Broglie (b. 1931) : academician and official. Hasn't been seen in years. • Yvette Roudy (b. 1929) : feminist and former minister for gender equality. rumored of dementia and frail looking. • Pierre Vial (b. 1928) : societaire and actor of the Comédie Française. Looked frail for years now. • Roland Bertin (b. 1931) : societaire and actor of the Comédie Française. Obese, frail-looking. This article is from 2015 and he doesn't look like a picture of health. • Jacques Sereys (b. 1928) : societaire and actor of the Comédie Française. retired and unseen for years. • André Lajoinie (b. 1929) : former presidential candidate in 1988 from the Communist Party. No news on him. All of them will probably get a qo in UK. I'm considering putting several of them on my French list for next year. I will probably continue this list with 1920's people in the next days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe replace Bill Roache or one of those who wouldn’t pass the famousness test (Randon, Whittington) with Constantine. Taking onboard certain advice, for my list in progress, I have now swapped James Earl Jones for Constantine and Alain Delon for Dick Van Dyke. James Earl Jones is still on standby though; not one to ignore for 2023. Buzz Aldrin may very well hold out until 2024; still quite active on Twitter even though that doesn’t say much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
