Who'll Be Last One Standing II

[msc 18,512]

Right, so, back in 2016, folk were moaning about DL droughts and stuff (ignore for a moment so many people died in 2016 I think we all died three times that year). So I put all the DL names who had more than 5 appearances on the list in a poll, and asked folk who would be the last standing of the current crop of Deathlist legends. And some of the great brains on site... all looked very foolish claiming Fidel Castro would do it, only for him to snuff it weeks later.

 

So, three years on, more moaning about droughts, and 5/8 on the first go are no more. So in the interest of time capsuled opinions which swiftly prove wrong, and a good sense of sods law, have at it.

 

Of the eleven (!) people on the 2019 DL to appear on 6 or more lists (and thus we can safely assume are there till they die), who will be the last one alive? Vera Lynn and Olivia de H still top trumps, or are new blood in Henry Kissinger and Clive James the in thing?

And mind the words of wisdom from LFN: "I'm getting a bit fucked off with these inane threads from people who cannot contribute anything more to the forum because they are utter twats."  Oh, wait a minute...

 

 

PS Oh yeah, I've gone for Kissinger.
