2017 Celebrity Death Pool

[sir albion]

Sir David Attenborough

That would be horrific news

I fear that if Guy Martin goes back to the IoM to get that elusive TT Win he will buy the farm, he just doesn't quite have the pace of Dunlop or McGuinness...

 

[maffew]

Barrymore, Elton John, Sylvester Stylone, Brucey, Trump would be a bonus

 

[happypig]

Wiliam Roach (Ken Barlow)
Prince Philip
Billy Connoly
Justin Bieber

Thought the same, although if he did manage even a single win he'd stop. Done it then and he'll find another challenge. Think he may be back this year.

On topic though I fear Brucey yet "hope" for want of a better word that Hatey Cockpins and Nigel Farage die in a hilarious fashion.

 

[dazzer6666]

Prince Philip - not the Queen, I reckon she'll make 3 figures.
Dick van Dyke
Vera Lynne (100 this year)
Kirk Douglas (already 100)
June Brown

 

[Pinkie Brown]

A slightly left field choice but celeb (of sorts): Leonard 'Nipper' Read. The copper who nicked the Krays. Still kicking along at 91.

Phil, the Duke of Athens. I have a hunch this could be his year.

Jack Charlton. Now the wrong side of 80. Supposedly been in poor health in recent times.

President Edogan of Turkey. So many enemies its hard to know where to start. One of them will attempt to bump him off in 2017 I suspect.

Uncle Bob Mugabe would cause me to raise a glass or two, I'm not sure that anyone that comes after him will be any better of course...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Prince Phillip

This - 100%

 

[burnee54]

Music star Peter Green

His brother lives locally. I know someone who knows him, Peter Green has been seen in Seaford. I think you're being a pessimist, as long as he can dodge the cyclists on the promenade.

I'd give you Dave the Gorila hugger, that will REALLY disrupt BBC schedules.

I chucked him out of my pub once in Richmond, Surrey (Peter Green NOT Sir David). I thought he was just another one of them that lived on the riverbank. I kicked myself later.
And before anybody gets all selfrighteous It was my job. As Landlord and Licensee I had to refuse entry to anyone that was or appeared to be drunk, and he smelled like week old cider.

Still wouldn't wish him dead though.

[Albion my Albion]

EDIT: Oh yeah, the real reason I had this here was to say it doesn't count as a 2017 celebrity death even though it was 2017 in the UK.

The Queen, and for a slightly more left-field choice, Bernard Ingham.

As a wild card I'm going to go with Jodie Marsh. She looks a bloody mess

 

[Meade's Ball]

A Chuckle Brother (dressed as a hound)
Tim Allen (looked up some famous Tims, as I felt one of them was nearing their end, and this perpetual grinner looked to be running out of pleasure)
Steffi Graf (will be destroyed through her Achilles beak)
