    Moopy Deathpool 2008

    Simple enough, choose ten names of people you expect to die in 2008, at least TWO of them must be under the age of 40. At the end of the year we'll see who guessed most correctly.
    You have until Monday to come up with your list...

    This might help... http://www.deathlist.net/?y=2008

    I'm sure Britney and Amy Winehouse are the 2 under 40 for most people.

    That master list is really boring, they're all so old!

    I'm going to go for gold here... I also think you should get your points based on how many years under 100 they were when they died.

    Pete Doherty
    Trevor Macdonald
    Peter Kay
    The Queen
    Angus Deighton
    Louis Walsh
    Katrina (from Katrina and the Waves)
    Sandy Toksvig
    Lionel Blair
    Jo from Steps

    I thought half of those on the master list were already dead (Charlton Heston, Norman Wisdom, Eli Wallach (the ugly?), Zsa Zsa Gabor). Johnny Vegas will be on my list though (when I get round to it).

    Floppet, I'm sorry but I have a problem with you. The problem is that you seem really nice and a decent enough poster but your user name is really flopsy bunny cutesy puke.

    Would you not consider something more cutting edge?

    Couldn't possibly consider anything else Meri. You could pretend it's french and pronounced 'floppay' if it bothers you that much though.

    Is there a reason I'm missing why Johnny Vegas is suddenly expected to die? Is it just because he's fat?

    He isn't in the best physical shape is he? I also suspect that he is a pie-eater and a heavy drinker.

    What a horrible game.

    OH ALRIGHT THEN, YOU TWISTED MY ARM.

    Owen Wilson (though if he dies in December next year he will be 40 - does he still count?)
    Lewis Hamilton
    George Bush
    Margaret Thatcher
    Fidel Castro
    Russell Watson
    Sidney Poitier
    Kirk Douglas
    Tom Baker
    Liz Dawn

    I nearly put Ronald Reagan in there but withdrew his name for obvious reasons.

    Oooo I didn't see you'd put him, but I nearly did as well, but thought I'd go for Bush still at the moment.

    The Queen seems to be in fairly good nick for her age. I bet she lives as long as her mum did.

    Phil's gotta be on the way out though.

    I thought I'd list her as an insurance policy. At least if she dies, I can have a small bit of joy from hitting one of my Moopy list.

    I quite agree. The idea of someone deriving pleasure or reward from her death is very very wrong and makes me sick to my stomach.

    He's not bad looking but there's young asian men that are far better looking than he. Amir Khan does it for me.

    Well I'd certainly imagine (and hope for his sake) that Davison will fuck it up if Tom Baker does die next... He still looks about 12.

    There are so many celebrities these days that it shocks me that we're not getting lots of (at least semi) high profile deaths all the time. However this does seem to be changing as of late, just not with the ones anybody expected.

    I was meaning to enter, I'd have been winning too as I'd definitely have had Suharto.

    But god knows about the other 9...
    If being myself is what I do wrong
    Then I would rather not be right
