2023 Celebrity Death Pool #5 just die

[Sir Lancelot]

*sigh*

Nul points.

 

[Serene Serena]

My concern is one of the lesser-known names on The List will pop their clogs and we'll not notice!

I'll notice. I have my google alerts set up. I will try not to update the thread with news of the tragic deaths of Slovakian hockey players, German golfers, unheard of American filmstars, lesser spotted z list reality stars and Lithuanian pop singers so you don't have to spend all day typing NUL POINTS.

 

[Amoo]

I'm waiting for any of the 88 year-olds on the list to go, so we can swap 'nil points' for the coveted 'DOUZE POINTS!'.

 

[Fifah1907]

I think his sad demise will be announced after Eurovision. Every news broadcast is full of happy people in Liverpool, all excited about the final tomorrow. Announcing the death of a renowned child sex abuser would bring the mood down somewhat.

Sunday morning headlines will be all about Ukraine winning again, then by teatime, we'll be told old Didgeridoo is now Didgeridon't.

THREAD TITLE IF HE CARKS IT

 

[Sir Lancelot]

NUL POINTS

 

[Tryger88]

He had a stroke back in 2012, he's going nowhere at this point, he's a rebel

 

[thenorthremembers]

He was looking.

This is why no one is dead he’s off enjoying the coronation

 

[LByrne74]

This is what I do every morning as you never know you just may know someone. I’ve done it for years I’m only 34

I do the same. Take after my mother. Used to be the newspaper back in the day but now I look on RIP.ie. Have found out about quite a few local people from my old hometown and been shocked at some of them, especially the younger ones. Was a strange experience seeing my own mother's death notice on it though, back in October. I helped word it but still. Made it real. Couldn't look at it for ages.

Back to the thread - yep I reckon you're all right about Rolf Harris. It'll be a late announcement.

I've set up an email alert thingy for the (small) town I grew up in. I only did that after my mother died as she was my death reporter. When I get an email I'm like 'oooh!'

My late uncle Vincent used to be the one to tell us about any local deaths which hadn't yet appeared in the paper. So much so my father nicknamed him "The Angel of Death" and it stuck. We'd see him opening our gate and coming up our footpath and think "Who's dead now?"

I'm usually a lurker (and reader of everyone's hilarity!)..

But just seen the DM have a story about Rolf Harris at the top of their website.... I think news about his dirt nap is coming soon.. fingers crossed!

 

[Meangirl815]

I have a good feeling about today. Bank holiday, crap weather, just after the stress of the coronation.....great day for a death

 

[InkHeart]

This is Tim Curry now. I had no idea he was in such rough shape.
Also. Not on anyone’s list?!?

Poor man. No one else seemed to notice, but on the Rocky Horror revival they did a few years ago, he played the narrator, and they had dubbed his voice. It wasn't acknowledged by anyone in production, but I'm 100% sure that isn't him. So probably the stroke seriously messed with his voice and he doesn't want it known.

 

[Mrs Fluff]

I still think Linda Nolan will be a point scorer this month. She’s arranged her funeral so only seems like a matter of time now

Those poor sisters have been riddled with cancer

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Nul bloody points

 

[LByrne74]

I think I might put the assassin Cliff Richard on my 2024 list. He's 82 in October and looking decidedly more frail. Was never the same after the police raided his house re the allegations.

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

Love it. Since we're all so shite at this all thread titles from now on should be variations on that.

"I Will Survive (just to spite you)"

"I'm a Celebrity and I'm Not Going Anywhere!"

"Fame - I'm Gonna Live Forever!"

 

[Serene Serena]

How many points if Philip Schofield tops himself this weekend?

 

[TruthTeller1036]

One good thing about being a parent is you’re up at the crack of dawn to see any new deaths.. but of course there aren’t any

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Camilla is reported to not be at the reception at the palace tonight ... Maybe she's 'unwell?!'

Equine sexcapade gone wrong. Called it.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

It is barely worth me saying it, but NUL POINTS

 

[MLE007]

Look I've given this some (about 10 seconds) thought. This is the year of adjacent deaths. The List is worthless (sorry)

Russell Crowe's dog was a big shock this year

 

[hol20x]

Deaths today?

Just the UK at Eurovision
