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

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

I'm in. New tactics this year:

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

Novocastrian
