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

Missed out last year, so here goes...

1. Margaret Thatcher
2. Prince Philip (Joker)
3. Nicholas Parsons
4. Bob Barker (The original Price is Right guy)
5. Macauley Culkin

Tony Benn
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
Roy Hattersley
Feddie Starr (Joker)
Marianne Faithfull

*Ellen Page
Barack Obama
*Erin Andrews
*Taylor Swift
*Justin Bieber (Joker)
**


* I have no idea who these people are
** I have no idea how to play this game

What are the rules? I didn't play last time.

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.

Clive James
Jerry Lewis
Jack Osbourne (Joker)
George Bush Senior
Aretha Franklin

+ 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.

I'm in. New tactics this year:

Stuart Hall
Donald Sutherland
Donald Trump (Joker)
Mrs T
Phil the Greek.

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

And I thought Hugo Chavez was a bit of a cheap choice.

Not that I'm keeping score this year, but how old is that particular revolutionary runner?

Holy sh*t that really did make me laugh out loud!

Well everyone knows he's riddled with cancer. Its not against the rules, I suppose.
