[Guest Ferguson]

Can anyone tell me who has been on The Death List without actually succumbing to the Grim Reaper for the longest?

[Stayin Alive 26]

Sounds like something that be fairly easily to get from the death database. Maybe we could provide this on the main page for future reference, along with the drought periods too.

Ok, Ferguson, people, listen up! I'm the new Stats Daddy around here now (swings snooker balls in grey lined nylon sock - you know, the really itchy type)...

Does this mean my services are no longer required? My solicitors will be in contact shortly regarding a breach of contract claim

 

Meanwhile just for the sake of it I thought I'd mention Bob Hope (13 lists until his death in 2003), Don Bradman (10 until 2001), Katharine Hepburn (11 lists until 2003 death) Barbara Cartland (11 until 2000) and of course the Queen Mum (14 lists until 2002)

 

If Ronnie survives the year surely the record will go

Okay Stayin' Alive, you've been in the stats seat for a while now, so how about an update to kick the year off properly?

[Josco 49]

I notice Ozzy Osbourne in the 1987 list. He has been in some scrapes recently, and mentioned in these forums within the last month. His degenerate lifestyle must be a cause for concern.

Our friend Markusdragon did a few good statistical postings at the start of the year.

Shame he hasn't really been heard of since.

I'm tellin' ya now, Reagan's safe at the top for a few years yet. His nearest challenger can't possibily rack up another four years on this list. Especially since he's barred next year after two consecutive appearances. For the Pope to hit 15 years he'd have to be alive for a nomination in 2011 - NO WAY!

[Larry Pestilence III 6]

Erm.

 

12th nomination in 2005.

13th nomination in 2006.

14th nomination in 2007.

15th nomination in 2008.

 

Sorry for the pedantry. I think he'll meet St. Pete before then though.
