@Houdini - let me know if there are any I should change, although I think all are okay. I had around 40 in my original list, so have some reserve options.
The wife is still working on her list

I'll go with this I think. Change Glenda Jackson to Kurt Russell (don't want to look like I'm just copying).

Cheers @Houdini

I was going to put Prunella Scales in, but surely dementia/altzheimers is classed as a pre-existing condition?
Likewise, the Mrs was going to put Michael J Fox in, but I figured Parkinsons is also a questionable condition.

Houdini is the grim Grim Reapers head honcho followed closely by A&C as God himself.

You don't die of dementia, though, do you? It just indicates general wear and tear and potential comorbidities.

From what I have seen in my own family, it speeds up the progression towards death, but I suppose it doesn't specifically kill you.
