Celebrity Death Pool 2011
Pick 10. Points per hit = 111-age at death. Celebrity = death reported (not just an obit) in National newspaper/TV news in your country.
I'mm'a start with 1) Michael Douglas 2) David Hasselhoff 3) Margaret Thatcher 4) Prince Phillip I'm working on the rest -Loch Aberbie bomber had 3 months to live? coughbullshitcough

I might be the most naive person in the world, but I hear so many stories about people given X amount of time to live, who live far longer. Often ascribed to the prayers of the local community - which spooks me, as it means God's plan is not ineffable, and also that those who die young just didn't get together enough petitions to bother Him.
Anyway, naif as I am, my list is pretty static. This is the reason I buy Lucky Dip lottery tickets - I'd hate to play the same numbers regularly, and then miss it one week - and find they'd WON! So I can't really abandon my staples - they'd cark in 2011 just to spite me. The main exception is Clive Dunn, as he is apparently going to live forever. Ronnie Biggs Fidel Castro Margaret Thatcher Patrick Moore Mickey Rooney Kim Jong-Il Nancy Reagan Zsa Zsa Gabor Kirk Douglas Betty Ford

Yeah, I muted Walken -he's not looking too good is he? That'd be some good points....

Again the Brits have all put Maggie there. How much of that is us looking at the evidence, and how much just wishful thinking? :P

She's been in hospital a lot recently.....
I have a soft spot for Maggie, mostly because she was the first female PM and she was strong. She may have been wrong, but she did a shitload of good for the image of women in politics, right or wrong. Some bad too... but I think she forced the UK if not the world to take female politicians seriously.

If I am drunk enough that's a point I will generally concede.
