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. |

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).

So it is. Counting was never my strong point.
Bali, can we agree to drop Betty? I am not sure whether as an investment manager who can't count I should be more embarrassed than dbd for his ringtone:lol: |

Re: The 2012 Celebrity Croakers Thread.
Way back when I was a student, I worked as a barmaid (as many do) and in the pub I worked in, we played a game similar.
It was called "pick a stiff". You paid a quid a week and picked a celeb who you thought would die. if your celeb died, you won the pot that had been accumulated. and then you got to pick another and the whole thing reset. I actually won on that one - I had picked Freddie Mercury |

At least two excellent choices in there. I'll await confirmation of WTF Tony Iommi might be.
