Wasn't there going to be a rule this year where age/diagnosed illnesses as of 1/1/14 were subject to a handicap system?

For instance Greek Phil isn't worth as much of a score as Joey Essex!

It was certainly mooted, but was left too late to have in place for 2014. Definitely feel it would make for a more interesting contest (but until that time,I'll continue to fill my list with the old and infirm)

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

George Bush Snr
Kim Jong-Un
Kim Kyong-hui (Aunt of the above)
Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (King of Saudi Arabia)
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Dick Van Dyke
Bob Hoskins
Eli Wallach
Pat Rice
Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky (Russian Oil Baron recently released from prison, who will surely eat a Polonium salad in the coming year courtesy of Uncle Vlad).

If someone wants to step in with a different scoring system, I am happy to pass the deadpool to another person.

Ok guys, I don't mean to sound stupid here but could somebody explain to me the purpose of it - I am being genuine here as I don't understand it. Thanks.

We all make a list of 10 people we think are going to die this year, and the winner is the one with the most right.

It's also generally considered bad form to aid in their death, so it's all ok and above board

Hi Tinks

Just come up with a list of 10 people (who have a wikipedia page) that you think will snuff it during 2014. Get them correct and you will win points. The winner at the end of 2014 will win bugger all. The only rule is that you are not to arrange the death of your nominees. Good Luck. If you need a pointer in the right direction ask Lord Football. He is an expert in this matter.

I've a sneaking suspicion that if he does, he'll make a recovery.
