It seems very unpatriotic to have Vera Lynn on the list.

I am not very patriotic (I would not be heading to Canada if I was) and I am being realistic, she is 95 !

100 points minus age of celebrity at time of death. Double bubble for the Joker.

There is an awful lot of goal poaching going on this year, but as Oink said, last year most of us got nul points.

When a person dies, their age at the time of death is reported by the BBC. This number is subtracted from 100 (Imperial) yielding a number of points. If the dead person was nominated as a joker then the number of points is doubled. So, if Vera Lynn croaks tomorrow and she's 95 then 100 minus 95 is 5. 5 times 2 is 10. So, Vera Lynn as a joker is worth 10. No fractions are allowed. Points for all nominees who have died are added together forming a total for the player. Unborn children and centenarians count zero.

Have you been in Canada a long time or something?
