ASH BOARD DEAD POOL 2008/09

[INTERNET MALE]

for those of you who have never taken part in a dead pool competition before, the concept is simple. you pick some celebrities (up to 15 in this competition) who you think are going to die in the year to come, and earn points for any correct guesses. This time next year, the most succesful morbid cunt is crowned the winner and there will be a prize of some sort offered.

RULES
1. Up to 15 celebrities may be selected. If you select less than 15, you can add more at a later date but the rules are stricter - you can't pick anyone who has just gone onto life support, just had a heart attack, just announced their struggle with cancer in a touching article in the Mail on Sunday Supplement etc. In short - you can pick anyone to start with, but after that you should only really pick if you couldn't think of 10 to start with.
2. Competion commences at midnight tomorrow, ends exactly one year from that date.
3. Your choices don't have to be unique - if someone posts before you and selects Bobby Robson, there's nothing to stop you picking Bobby Robson. Obviously you're best off with at least one or two unique choices though, otherwise you'll just end up in a tie with someone.
4. POINTS SCORING. For every choice of yours that croaks it, you earn 100 points MINUS the age of your celebrity at time of death. I.E if Maggie Thatcher dies in a fortnight, age 82, you'd score 18 points. If Maddie McCann turns up dead (and it has to be confirmed, no 'missing' or 'legally declared dead', Manics fans) you'd earn a whopping 95 points.
5. you are also allowed to select Ash boarders. Obviously these are not likely to die, so you will earn double points if you correctly predict a boarder death.
6. Wishing AIDS, Cancer, SARS, chicken pox etc with the power of your mind IS allowed and in fact positively encouraged.

guess away, corpse-fans

[Quid Squid]

everyone can pretty much choose Amy Winehouse as a sure bet.

[Miralice]

1) Gary Glitter. If he keeps coming back to Pompey it will deffo be death by mob justice.

2) Dexter Fletcher. I have no reason to suspect this, it's purely wishful thinking.

3) Pete Doherty. every reason to suspect, plus a healthy dose of wishful thinking.

4) Amy Winehouse. though I think she's misunderstood. I'm guessing this will be a popular choice...

5) Christian W Chandler. He'll die of rage and thwarted ambition. And possibly strangulation by sex toy.

6) Jade Goody is deffo worth a punt.

7) Gordon Brown. He looks knackered.

8 ) Jake Gyllenhaal. after Heath Ledger, you never know...

9) David Attenborough. am basing this on advancing age PLUS the Steve Irwin factor.

10) Stu. Drowning in piss. He's the only one who'll die happy.

Fingers crossed, peeps!

EDIT:

11) Rose West.

This is digusting! How horribly morbid. Im just thinking how awful it is to imagine up to 15 people dead and im finding it really difficult to get a list together but hopefully if i have a good think about it all day i should come up with a list by tonight!

[Glurve]

Jade Goody would be in with a shot if she ever had cancer, and not one bit of me believes she does.

hmmm

[Stu]

For now I'm just going to go with Pete Dohery, Amy Winehouse and me. I just have a feeling I'm going to die before the end of the year, have had for ages.

[amplifiedAnt]

Jade Goody would be in with a shot if she ever had cancer, and not one bit of me believes she does.

Me and Angela were cynically discussing the possibilities of this a few days ago. Let's face it - if she was faking, it would be a bloody good PR move. All of the ridiculous celeb rags have gone from saying "RACIST PIGGY WHORE" to "brave girl needing our support." At the end she can say "yay, full recovery" and nobody would ever be any the wiser.

Er, anyway, I might come up with a list later if I have nothing better to do.

Stu! Please tell me your not serious. Are you abusing your body with copious amounts of drugs and alcohol or is it a premonition type thing or do you just feel a bit ill?

I don't really think Stu will die! I just put it in as an outside bet cos it would generate lots of points. I LIKE you, Stu!

[Sam]

Ok, here are mine
1. Paris Hilton - wishful thinking
2. Amy Winehouse - a safe bet I think
3. George Clooney - just think it would be funny
4. Tom Cruise - even funnier
5. The woman from the crankies - she fell off a beanstork last year and think this years panto will put the final nail in the coffin
6. John McCain - obvious really
7. The kid from 2 and a half men - I want a young one to bump up my points
8. Meg Ryan - her new film The Woman just annoys me by exsisting, I don't even know what its about and I hate it
9. James Cracknell and/or Ben Fogle - I think they are treking up to the North pole this year so maybe one of them will clog it
10. Margaret Thatcher
11. Kerry Katona

[Wilkesandliberty]

my list:


good Argyle mate Michael Foot

I am suprised to find out he's still alive, however noting earlier in the week that he was going be at some conference thing it really shouldn't be that suprising. Maybe i thought he'd had taxidermi done on him.

My Choices

1) Tony Blair - His hearts a bit dogdy and i'd love him to get a state funeral just like Maggie, if he doesn't i'll be writing furious letters in the Mail on Sunday.

2) John McCain - He won't even last out til the time they make him president i reckon the cold snap in the winter months will take him out.

3) John Cooper Clarke - He didn't turn up last night for his gig, and last time i missed a gig by someone or they didn't turn up they died so sorry Clarke.

4) Bobby Robson - Got to die....I think he's been dead for the last 5 years but no one noticed.

5) Bobby Charlton - Awaits mass state funeral in Manchester for one of the great servants of the City.

6) Henry Kelly - I just have a feeling

7) Noel Edmonds - Firstly he stopped paying his Tv Licence, now he's found god he'll be a sure fire bet.

The Queen - Had a good innings.

9) Robert Mugabe

10) Terry Wogan

11) Matthew Alwright....He'll die whilst confronting a rogue trader.

12) Amy Winehouse

13) Ann Winndecombe - Will die when confronting some teens.

14) Sir Alex Ferguson - Go like the great Jock Stein.

15) Ray Stubbs - Will get so angry on 606 he'll have a heart attack.

[Punk Girl]

Okay mine so far:

1) Camilla Duchess of Cornwall
2) Harry Redknapp (to be honest any football manager is probably a good bet...)
3) Paul Daniels
4) Andy Ridgely
5) Ken Russell
6) Geraint (may explode in a cloud of pure arrogance...)
7) Gazza

[Miralice]

6) Geraint (may explode in a cloud of pure arrogance...)

see my theory is that he'll outlive all of us and be this smug git chuckling into his umbrella at the back rows of all our funerals. Cos a lot of us will die at the same time when Marktheevildude opens fire on us at a meet up...
