Well he's not been looking well lately. A bit peaky I think.

Sadly, I came in with a "nul points" last year, so there's no real reason to revise my list. Maybe one of them will actually croak this year...

Duke of Edinburgh
Thatcher
Jean Chretien
Nicholas Parsons (joker)
Tony Bennett

I *think* it's this. Pick five people. You get points if they die. Points = 100 - age of person. Double for joker.

+ to count as famous, their death must be noted on the BBC. It's no good picking some iced hockey player who's world famous only in Alberta.

That's about it. I think the only exception to the iced hockey rule might be Garry Wetski.
