The 2012 Celebrity Croakers Thread.
 
Inspired by the Iron Lady (and by plagiarism form threads on the much lamented now defunct Grauniad Talk Forum), I bring you boys and girls unlimited chortles as a New Years gift.

Process: post the five celebs you think to be most likely to kick the bucket this calendar year. I'll keep track in a worksheet.

Rule 1: If no one else has heard of your horse, it's not a celeb.

Rule 2: If one of your celebs croaks you score 100 points minus their age at last (last) birthday. Example: A 78 yr old croaks, score 22 points.

Rule 3: You may then post a replacement croaker-to-be.

Rule 4: You may nominate one of your 5 runners as a Joker. Scores double points. You can't change your Joker until rule 3 applies.

I think that covers it.

The competition is hereby declared open. Good luck.

Is this a wish or prediction list?

That's entirely up to you. If you just want to make an amusing point then make a wish list, something like Thatcher, Kissinger, Harper, Cameron and Justin Bieber (joker).

If you want to win choose accordingly.

Ah yes. I'd forgotten that there are some Scottish people on here.

Rule 5: Any suspicion of manipulating the odds will result in a point deduction and possibly a suspension.
