2023 Celebrity Death Pool #5 just die

[Sir Lancelot]

I can’t help but feel like we’re gonna have another Caroline Flack situation regarding him. He’s gonna do something because of the hate he’s been getting & then the whole world will outcry be kind when they’ve been the ones hounding him

It's difficult to 'Be Kind' when someone is a cunt.

 

[JoJo76]

In the absence of death, have some little 6 week old kittens that were rescued from a drug den that I am fostering. Let’s celebrate life when we cannot celebrate death

Is Phillip schofields this morning career allowed an honouary mention now it's dead in the water?

This Mourning

The next thread title should be celebrity death pool #6 ha ha ha ha staying alive

 

[smudge126]

I lost this thread when the old one finished, so imagine my excitement when I saw I had 18 pages to catch up on…swiftly followed by the disappointment of realising nobody’s died and you’re all just gobshites

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I have been told to make this correction by my legal team:

Musician and presenter Matt Willis is not on The List, and I wish him good health and success.

I will not be taking questions on this matter.
Thank you.

 

[JoJo76]

Younger readers might not get this, I am 46 so grew up watching him on TV. But this is my my next thread suggestion, inspired by Rolf Harris.

Can you tell what it is yet? Yes, DEATH.

 

[Tangerine Cat]

Jesus, there was no need for that.

It’s the lack of deaths. He’s been poised with his calculator and highlighter pen since January and has only moved twice since then. What’s a man to do but turn to drink?

 

[Sir Lancelot]

The Tattle 2023 Celebrity Death Pool is a list of celebrities that we think will take a dirt nap this year.

This is the continuation of the threads that can be found here:

Thanks to @JoJo76 for the title of thread #5!


We aren't wishing ill health upon these celebrities (well... with a few exceptions).
It is just a list of well-known people we think may get a visit from the Grim Reaper this year.
All in the name of fun!



Points will be given to those who name someone who dies, and will be issued as a score of 100 minus the age of the celebrity in question.

For example:
A 98 year old dies, you get two points.

A 20 year old dies, you get 80 points.

Anyone over the age of 100 gets you one point only.



The current leaderboard is as follows:

In first place, with our first hit (and still feeling guilty about it) on 33 points for nominating much-missed Paul O'Grady:

@Shesaidwhat?

In joint second place, with 7 points for nominating Mary Quant:

@Fishwife

@MillionDollarBaby

@Rockin' Robin

Bringing up the rear, on four points with a vote for Harry Belafonte:

@Bluenose70💙


We have not had a good hit rate and are worried we've actually created a list of immortality!


All point-scoring votes were placed before February 2023.


We recieved over 1200 individual votes and had over 390 individual celebs named.

The top names on the list are:

39 votes - Britney

34 votes - Ozzy Osbourne

31 votes - Dick Van Dyke

[LittleMissOnions]

Our 16yr old has recently discovered the Smiths, today couldn’t be worse for him, math GCSE and Andy Rourke dying, the whole of our road will now be subjected to There Is A Light That Never Goes out being played on loop later

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Most other death pools use "has a Wikipedia article" or similar as the definition of a celebrity.

Here is the definition:

A celebrity is what I say it is.



Happy to help.

 

[SmillieKylie]

I’m actually of Indian heritage, with brown skin and dark hair, but over time I’ve convinced myself I am actually Kylie Minogue when on the Tattle. I now conduct my business around the place as if I am her, and I believe some posters on my regular threads have bought into this narrative as well. I should be so lucky

 

[JoJo76]

Also I am not Alice Evans. Thank god.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

(Your May Bonus would put you in second place, btw, @Rockin' Robin, so I'd keep your fingers crossed...)

Jesus, there was no need for that.

Jesus died. Nul points because he came back.
The same applies to any other zombie celebrities.

I am quite drunk.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I need to start selling NUL POINTS merch

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Rolf Harris is not dead.
Any votes will be counted if such an event were to occur.
As things stand, Rolf has:
Eleven official votes
One May Bonus vote
One non-point scoring vote due to being late.

Don't question me and my spreadsheet.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

In the absence of death, have some little 6 week old kittens that were rescued from a drug den that I am fostering. Let’s celebrate life when we cannot celebrate death

Nul points.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

The irritating thing is I've a draft post ready for when Rolf dies with points, May Bonus points and leaderboard all worked out; he's going to live for a while yet and so I'll have to bloody delete it.

This is by far the worst thing he has ever done.

PS. Twenty days since our last hit, ffs

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I had a dream the king died last night

He died in 1977.

 

[JoJo76]

I am over and out until Monday. Having a weekend in Anglesey which is much needed after surgery and recovery. Not doing a huge amount, just chilling and drinking too much gin. Hopefully when I am back on Monday we will have a plethora of deaths and @Serene Serena can finally get her canapés out!
