Death Impends 7,986 Posted April 9, 2016 I reckon it might be tough to gauge Michael's progress when you consider, as mentioned upthread, he's retreated from the public eye after his diagnosis. Though there still may be the occasional press release on his health to go by. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted April 10, 2016 Just started watching The Night Manager and thought 84 year old John le Carré may be a decent idea, the Deathlist loves an old English novelist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_le_Carr%C3%A9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scraggy Taters 290 Posted April 10, 2016 Meh, you say potato, I say chips, crisps & taters. If it wasn't for 'us Brits' invading 500 years ago, you'd be an Indian, like Pocahontas. So there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really sorry to hear this. Back in the day, we had to read aloud plays and my English teacher gave me a part in Chicken Soup With Barley. I was the only one to try the accent. Suddenly I was in the drama group and went on to have a fairly successful amateur theatre career. Wesker awakened me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted April 14, 2016 Why is there a lack of information about former UDM leader Roy Lynk? He does not have his own wiki page and I still cannot find a birthdate for him but the role he played in the Miner's strike is so important I imagine he would certainly obit. Also should Arthur Scargill be in consideration for next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted April 14, 2016 And the Queen Elizabeth for 2017?? No way is she going that soon. Pope Benedict a good choice though, if he survives this year. His caretaker says he's slowly deteriorating. (I think he could go this year, though. He's 89, in frail health for years, and this year has been crazy when it comes to huge deaths.)

ImNotHades 207 Posted April 14, 2016 Somehow I ended up reading about Beach Boys on Wiki and saw some yogi master and of course ended reading about yogis and I found potential candidates for next year....Baba Hari Dass (1923), Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha (1933), Janakananda Saraswati (1939), Pramukh Swami Maharaj (1921), Satsvarupa dasa Goswami (1939)......took me 20 minutes to write down those names....anyway, their Wikipedia pages are quite long so I think they are relevant enough...I think 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadpool 166 Posted April 14, 2016 And the Queen Elizabeth for 2017?? No way is she going that soon. i understan waht you mean... but if people like zsa zsa, Fidel, Kirk Douglas appear in the deathlist more than a decade , maybe we can consider Queen Elizabeth, if she died if gonna be a big miss... she was in the deathlist before (in 1991 or 1992) so... why not?

People listed are twice as famous than people on 2016 list, according to Wikipedia. Take a look. I too would love to see names that I actually recognize on the Death List but instead we get a bunch of magicians, TV hosts and random people Google can't even find. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
