I had never heard of this guy - he was a political animal in the US.

Hopefully David Attenborough has made it through unscathed ☺☺

It's not to everybody's taste but I love The DeathList website.

They weren't particularly accurate for 2016, with only 12 of the 50 people they thought likely to die actually leaving us:

(Their record is 14 deaths).

Here's the 2017 list:

Since no-one seems to be around to upset - we used to run 'pick a stiff' at work. We chose a celebrity and paid money in each week, when a celeb died whoever had chosen that person got whatever money was in the pot.

I did clear my cache on the Puzzler problem. Both of the browsers that I use are causing problems. It doesn't need to be fixed - but it is annoying me.

That's life ;-/

Your competition with your workmates might have been frowned on by the Daily Express, Wolfie ;-)

(I suspect that quite a few people whose names appear on the list are actually rather pleased to be regarded as important enough to feature on it!)

I always read the obituary in the papers, just to make sure I'm not listed as departed.

>>> just to make sure I'm not listed as departed

People have been telling me I'm 'not all here' for years anyway ;-)

[wolf63]

That's a nice and cheerful song 1ozzy - and so true.

Of the celebs that have died this year I think only one or two impacted on me to an extent. I am just not very emotional, this could be down to a 'flaw' in my personality or it could be the fact that my daily intake of Lithium leaves me in a zombie zone. I was much more upset when my furry family all died than my parents.

My brother and his family and my pal and her family are off limits to the grim reaper.

You're not alone old mate ;-)

I remember William Christopher very well....MASH was one of my favourite TV programs back in the 70's. RIP Chris !

[Quoi]

Noticed most people on the 'deathlist' are late on in years but wasnt the 60's a popular age last year?
