Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 1, 2017 That’s why the queen should be number 50 next year. If I was honest, I personally wouldn’t care if the queen wasn’t on my list, but because I know this is a UK site, and that she’s at an age that she could be a cult pick like Hugh Hefner was, I think she should stay, cause I know a certain amount of people from the UK would complain if she wasn’t on the list... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted November 1, 2017 I think these people are the most famous/impactful and should be on next year's list and stay there until they die: - The Queen - The two popes - The two 90+ US presidents It will be a colossal embarassment if the list misses any of these 5 people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not if they don't die.

msc 18,436 Posted November 1, 2017 Default "it's their list, they can put who they like on it" here. That said, I like the historical element of the list. You know, the folk who are on the list for nearly a dozen years and then one day go in their sleep. The way some folk graduate over the course of a decade from "they've picked who", to "they've picked them again?" to "they keep picking them" to "damn, RIP to a Deathlist legend" as does happen. The Queen strikes me as the sort of person with 7 plus appearances on the list and a lengthy write up one day, but then, so did Christopher Lee, and he ruined that by randomly dying out of the blue to pnuemonia. Room for both them and folk "likely to die" on a list which has never really been about the numbers. (Otherwise, a whole host of names would have been on it...) But you know, if they want to put the Queen on it 15 times, more power to them. If they drop her and she immediately snuffs it on January 2nd, well, d'oh. But that's life. It's their list, not mine or ours. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathbysnoosnoo 28 Posted November 1, 2017 I agree that it would be a massive miss if she wasn't on the list when she pops it but I don't think people should be an automatic pick just because they are Super Duper Uber Famous and it would be an embarrassing miss if left off it. The list will just be full of 85+ year olds that would be perceived as too famous to miss Saying that she was ill last Christmas and this year is supposedly going to be a bad winter so it might not matter.

He alluded to his approaching death many times during Mass (I was actually present during some), and he also has only one functioning lung. I think he's up for consideration ( I will not be too surprised if Benedict survives him). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't forget Prince Phillip of Edinburgh Phillip, yes, as he's 96 and probably in worse health than is being officially disclosed, and has been officially retired recently. Still should be quite low down though. The Queen is healthy enough to be a wasted pick though IMHO. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's see: missing the Queen's death would indeed be an embarassment, but she has no life-threatening health issues, so her death would be quite a shocker (well, as shocking as the death of a nonagenarian can be). Pope Francis is much younger than anyone else you mention (80), and while his one lung could be an issue, I don't think that he'd be a particularly good candidate, unless we get some new info on his worsening health. The two presidents and Benedict should stay on the list (although Carter can likely survive into 2019 if his cancer can be kept in check). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She shouldn't be on the next year's list; she could maybe return to the 2019 or 2020 list - Francis is only 80 and is extremely healthy and active; he shouldn't be on the next year's list, either - Carter, Bush and Benedict must return next year, I agree with you on that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 15, 2018 Some health contingency plans and morbid facts about the Queen: "... This isn’t the only odd tradition that the royal abides by, and according to a recent report in The Telegraph, she never leaves Britain without packing some of her own blood and taking a royal navy doctor. Her trusty team also make sure they’ve researched all hospitals in the area, just in case something were to suddenly happen with the Queen’s health. Another sombre item she must pack when travelling is black clothing in the event that someone passes away. That tradition is said to stem from the Queen’s trip to Kenya in 1952, where she was informed her father, King George VI had died. Unfortunately, all she had with her was a summer dress so she had to wait on her plane on the tarmac until a suitable black outfit was brought onboard for her to wear in public."
