I actually won on that one - I had picked Freddie Mercury
My OH's office played something very similar. Her boss was absolutely gutted when Mother Teresa died - he had her in the sweepstakes but the pot had been emptied the previous week on the demise of the Princess of Wales.

On the ex-GU site there's someone who scored on Farah Fawcett and Wacko Jacko the same day and yet didn't win the pool.

OK Here are my runners

David Coleman
Geoffrey Howe
Giscard d'Estaing
Brian Mulroney
Rupert Murdoch (joker)

All the croakers are now in a spreadsheet on my desktop.

We have 20 contestants, therefore 100 runners, but only between 85 & 90 individuals.

Most popular croaker is Maggie with 6 backers followed by Phil the Greek on four.

They're off! Bad luck to each and every one of 'em.

PS New entrants are welcome anytime.

No, I wouldn't think it was funny if he was assassinated. He's my joker because I think (hope) it's unlikely. I hope there was no misunderstanding.
