2024 Celebrity Death Pool #6

[Sir Lancelot]

Ah true, what if he’s found in July and they can’t tell when he died?

If they say a rough estimate that he died in July, you'll get points.
If they say they're not sure, then nul points.

 

[Serene Serena]

Nobody has mentioned Harry Styles' Mum for a change

I would have nominated her but the bollocking I got last time (not to mention the death threats from Directioners) traumatised me

PS: She’s still a celebrity in many ways

 

[Turmeric123]

Guilty. Then realised I was thinking of Wendy Richard!

I juat had to Google Wendy Craig as I thought it was Wendy Richards too

 

[Lovegossip]

Watching England win a major tournament.....oh wait that would be a dream

 

[Reality_tv_lover]

I misread that and thought you'd been in Heat magazine.

 

[Miss Begotten]

I will genuinely be sad when Mel Brooks dies.

Are we pitting Mel and Dick against one another to see who lasts the longest?
Place your bets!

I’m prepared to sacrifice Farage and Rees Mogg in their stead.
But much as I love Dick, Mel Brooks is a whole other level of genius.

 

[Miss Begotten]

Watching England win a major tournament.....oh wait that would be a dream

So your choice is immortality?

 

[Miss Begotten]

Bunch of perverts, the lot of you

Surely you have to admit that being run over by Tom Hardy, Jason Momoa and Chris Hemsworth is a much better way to go than being run over by a bus.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I came here to ask this after seeing he has a wiki page

For the bonus round, anyone 'known' will count.
Jay Slater, Harry Styles' Mum, Larry the cat...

 

[MLE007]

I'll have bubbles the chimp please boss

RIP Bill Cobbs, actor, who you'll know from the Dick-featuring film Night At The Museum.

nul points

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Kenneth Williams
Carrie Fisher
Freddie Mercury

He was an interesting and complicated man, wasn't he? Shy and introverted yet made a living from being hugely outgoing in public.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

I know this is really not in the spirit of the thread and it’s potentially doing myself out of points, but the fabulous Mel Brooks is 98 today.
So suck on that Dick.

I will genuinely be sad when Mel Brooks dies.

Are we pitting Mel and Dick against one another to see who lasts the longest?
Place your bets!

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Nobody has mentioned Harry Styles' Mum for a change

 

[Buntu]

I’m also going for Jay Slater because I need some points to boost me up!

 

[bracrumbs]

I always watch that clip of Sir. Nicholas Winton when it pops up and then can’t stop crying for an hour. I never learn.

[Shesaidwhat?]

For the bonus round, he would count.
However, do you think he is currently alive and will die in July?
That's a bold take on it all... is he your choice?

Well there is the theory that he’s hiding until his GFM raises enough to pay the Moroccans back but now everyone seems to know this they might have no choice. But I think I’m going to go for Ben Affleck please @Sir Lancelot. Thank you.
