Bruce Forsyth?

Incidentally, what happens if someone croaks that is older than 100? Do you lose points?

Err, not sure, I'd guess just zero points? What have you guys done in the past? (This is the first year I made the spreadsheet, others have done it in the past, but I Think whoever did it last year hasn't been around, so I volunteered to do it instead...)

I'm not sure. All I know is that I have a habit of making people immortal.

Right. After a dead loss (groan) in 2014, with only the ubiquitous Ariel Sharon scoring points for me, the 2015 runners and riders are up. My picks are Phil the Greek, Rob Ford, Jean Chretien, Clive James and Bashar al-Assad. the erstwhile Mayor of Toronto is my joker.

Edinburgh is hardly worth the points, but he's been on my list since we started the dead pool, so I feel honour bound to keep him (besides, he's bound to croak if I don't, just to spite me...). Ford and James make me feel a bit like vultures circling the wounded wildebeest (or possibly hippo, in Ford's case), but you gotta be cynical in this game. And if there's one candidate for assassination at some point in the year, president of Syria must be fairly high up the list. Chretien is a further sop to CanCon regulations...

Ghomeshi must be a fair bet as an auto-croaker (and he's young).

Hadn't thought of that. Good call.

Forsyth and yes Hawking. Will be glad to get my phone back .. The auto text on this is all over the show!

I thought Ghomeshi but he's too arrogant to do himself in, although someone may have a pop at him !
