I'm sorry I missed the start of this...is it too late to join?

BTW, speaking of classics, Bill Pertwee (Warden Hodges from Dad's Army) has just died at the age of 86!

I don't think it's too late to join but you've missed almost half the year, in order to win you need a bus or train load of famous people to all perish at once. Youngish famous people no one else has chosen. I suppose you could name a bunch of Manchester United players and hope history repeats itself.

You could always gamble on a few suicides from the Celebrity Kiddy Fiddler gang.

They're knocking on a bit though, if there are Celebrity Fiddlees, they'd be better. At this point something spectacular is needed, terrorism perhaps, one might take a punt on The Unborn Child of Prince William and Katherine, along with his or her potential parents.

:rofl:

As a confirmed "ABU", that has a certain ring to it!

Maybe I'll just keep an eye on this and get on board next year.

Well, Prince Harry is one of mine - joker, even, I believe - so fingers crossed for another tour of Afghanistan for young Hazza before the year is out. Or a particularly raucous weekend in Vegas with lots of expensive vodka and a swimming pool.

I'm waiting patiently for the Lohan to have another car accident. All of my other croakers are on the older side...

Who's your joker? (you get double the points if they kick the bucket)...

Room mate now with perennial disappointment Pete Doherty, they might have been a good double.

What the hell....I'm no worse off at this point than those who haven't "scored" yet!

I will go for:

The former Pope (now retired)
Prince Philip
Muhammed Ali
Roger Moore
Shane McGowan (joker)

If I get any points in 2013 (I was going to say I'd be happy...but that doesn't sound right!) I will be satisfied with my first entry!

Assuming I'm in too...is this like Fantasy Football where you can change your squad from time to time (as long as nobody has shuffled off yet)? I think I want to add another already...so will drop one in exchange.

Only if one pegs it, otherwise you might be accused of ambulance chasing. :)
