Celebrity Death List 2009

[Bish Bosh]

Anyone want to play? Rules are 5 points for each. If you hire a hitman you'll be given a red card btw.

Here's five to start. Nothing too controversial and the choices aren't bad taste ones...although the whole game is of course. Three chosen on age grounds and special circumstances apply to MJ & HK.

Dick van Dyke
Fidel Castro
Sir Norman Wisdom (one of our BHA own so hope not)
Hamed Karzai
Michael Jackson.

Happy Christmas!!

 

[Mendoza]

Bobby Robson
Britney Spears
Maggie Thatcher
Amy Winehouse
Seve Ballesteros

 

[Taybha]

O J simpson please

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"I'm so ronery
So ronery
So ronery and....oh shit I'm dead".

I should add that I'm staking my claim based on when he actually dies, not when the North Korean officials announce it, which could be some time later.

 

[The Large One]

How queer! I was thinking of doing just the same...

Margaret Thatcher
Michael Foot
One of the England 66 team - oooh, let's go for... Ray Wilson
Barry Cryer (bloody hope not)
Ronnie Corbett

 

[simmo]

Mohammed Ali (Hope not)
Gazza - suicide (Hope not)
Patrick Swayze (hope not)
Osama Bin Laden (Yes Please)
Robert Mugabe (Yes Please)

 

[Jesus Gul]

Iraqi shoe thrower
4 others

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I think perhaps a Rolling Stone too, and, following Norah Batty's tragic recent passing, probably Peter Sallis, as Last of the Summer Wine is practically a living version of Celebrity Death List.

 

[Barry Izbak]

The Duke of Edinburgh
Bobby Robson
Pete Doherty
Nelson Mandela
Kelsey Grammer

[Lady Whistledown]

Hmmm, looking at that list, Patrick Moore could be a good shout.

Cause of death: total eclipse of the heart
