I find it hard to take part in Deathlist as I don't like predicting fatal harm to harmless people, still less people I approve of (e.g. I hear Mark E. Smith of The Fall is in poor health, but could never predict his demise).

I was considering a list of people nobody would miss - and Mugabe would have featured if you'd not got him first!

I must admit I'm not comfortable with the under 40 section, I nearly didn't bother.

You'll certainly feel guilty if ISIS send a suicide bomber into Prince Harry's wedding reception, won't you? 

I'd actually be a bit upset myself, despite not being a great royalist. He comes across as a genuinely decent bloke, though that may be naivety on my part. Now, his uncles Andrew & Edward, however....

Likewise. Before Xmas he was still performing with The Fall but from a wheelchair with one arm apparently immobile, looking very ill yet in surprisingly strong voice.

A US tour for the New Year has been cancelled. Here's hoping he can fight off whatever's up with him. Certainly not a man to give up easily, you'd suspect - Satan would have to take him kicking and fighting all the way....
