Celebrity Death Pool 2014

And no, after my Secret Santa experience I have no intention of acting as administrator. Just thought that as it's half-past January, someone should kick it off...

Stephen Hawking
Ian Brady
Terry Pratchett
Terence Stamp
Prince Philip
Rev Ian Paisley
Tony Benn
Casey Kasem
Ian McKellan
Wilko Johnson

There. Done.
More Brit-centric than ever before, but these are the people I read about and know. Well, not personally, otherwise I'd put my parents' cat on there.
Except she's already excluded for being a cat.
And not being a public figure.

I've never done this before as I can't think of ten famous people, let alone ten that are about to drop off the perch. I've asked Mr Limey to contribute on my behalf.

You do realise that Mr Limey gets the points, not you, right?
Which may lead to a situation as in QI, where the audience wins. Still, who am I to bring up rules and regulations with a Mod!?

Oh and tell him next year to include at least one wild card; the younger the person the more points you get.

NB. You have heard of the Queen though?

My Mum was a Prefect, and then Head Girl.
My Dad was a mod.

Monster!
Griff is making fun of a much treasured Cellar thread!

He's not breaking any official rules, but he needs a telling off.
Just telling him he won't win with that selection probably won't be enough.
