Stolen from another forum.....
t's a fun* new game to play, for 2011. And yes, it's in poor taste. Yes, it's morbid...if you're likely to be offended, then don't play, don't read the thread. We don't actively try and kill people, nor revel in their deaths**. It's a fact of life.


The Rules
1. Choose three celebrities who you think may depart from this existence during 2011. 10 points for each one.

2. Choose one additional TRAGEDY PICK - a celebrity less than fifty years of age who you think may shuffle off this mortal coil before the end of 20011 Twenty points for this one.

3. On the death of one of your team, you may pick another to replace them.

4. I'll decide who's a "celebrity" or not. I'm sure you can guess who qualifies.

To enter, post your four names below. A scorecard might be drawn up.




*Actual fun may vary.


I'll start things off:
1. Margaret Thatcher
2.Bruce Forsyth
3.Nelson Mandela

TRAGEDY PICK

Gazza.


**You can revel if you want!

  • I thought Chuck Berry was dead too originally... he's not though (not long left though surely?)

    As for Pete Doherty being a tragedy vote...no chance. If the drugs were going to kill him he'd be dead by now (Keith Richards syndrome). Only thing that could end him would be a crazed fan (Mark Chapman style)
