Death lists!

[flick]

You talked me into it, but doing a poll is too much of a pain to enter the names.

Comments screened: you know the drill, ten names each, they have to be listed on either the BBC or CNN website when they go, number of points inversely proportional to the number of people who have them.

Go!

Well it looks like I'm being johnnyeponymous this year -- just read about Ronald Searle. Do you want me to pick a replacement?

I'm not seeing any indication that he was notably terminally ill, so no, I think you get points for him!

And despite my technique for picking names, which makes him approximately 26 times more likely to be picked than someone random, he wasn't on my list.

Oh, arse, sorry: just seen that he actually died in 2011!

In which case, yes, please pick someone else. That does mean that you get points last year, though, taking you into second place!
