Re: Celebrity Death List MMXII / The Death Thread 2012

Just realised Columbo is dead. That nom list may get edited a few more times for the dead ones.

So are we not allowed to nominate ANY of the living celebrities on the list above, or just not the ones we've previously nominated ourselves?

by skully on Sun 18 Dec 2011 - 21:47

No, no. You can't nominate anyone you have previously nominated (see the list on page 1), nor anyone that has already been grabbed for 2012 (nobody yet) i.e. no two people can nominate the same celebrity in 2012.

So pick the eyes out of the list, as long as you haven't picked them before.

Honours for biggest ghouls on the Forum are currently shared by Zoggy and qmy, each having nommed 4 now-dead celebrities. How the hell Al Megrahi is still breathing is beyond me. Shocked

lardy is going great guns. None of his celebs have yet kicked off. Cool

Ace. I'm so bad at this, in a couple of years I'll be nominating dead people and they'll be coming back to life.

You are way too life-affirming for your own good.

Robson died 31 July 2009.

31st, you mean by inference, and EDT rather than GMT, I presume. Although you did allow late entrants this year as well as some swaps and amendments, if I recall, to which I have no objection although I appreciate there has to be a cut-off point to keep things sensible.

As a lot of my noms get pinched, esp. by Skully, I'll put my five pennyworth in early for a change. I don't think these break any rules but will be open to amendment if told otherwise. So here goes (assuming all make it to firework time):

Bob Appleyard (Lancashire & England)
Bob Dole (would-be ex-POTUS)
Dom Mintoff (Malteser)
Olivia De Havilland (Tinsel Towntress)
Ravi Shankar (Sitar Fan)
Lewis Hamilton (Racing Driver).

Rules clearly state, no bagsing allowed, ol' bean. And midnight Dec 31 is in the eye of the beholder. I hardly think a few hours and a few noms being snapped up is gonna make a difference. Otherwise I'd be winning this year by a mile, and, as you know, I'm not. Cool

And I'm not interested in any of your current 6.

by Allan D on Mon 19 Dec 2011 - 9:23

I apologise, thought you meant 31 December was closing date not opening & closing date. All forummers feel free to select any of the above as I'm not interested in them either any more.

by skully on Mon 19 Dec 2011 - 10:29

No sweat, AD. Last year most people had their bids in by the end of January. As the rules state, late entries beyond that are at the behest of the thread starter. Petey can adjudicate. Cool

by Allan D on Mon 19 Dec 2011 - 10:41

Thanks, I shall continue to consult the casualty ward & posh retirement home lists until then Wink

by skully on Mon 19 Dec 2011 - 10:50

I'll be consulting www.sick-old-celebs.com

I will have nothing to do with counting the body bags.

That is Jeremy Bowen's job.

by skully on Mon 19 Dec 2011 - 11:40

So it is thus decreed, Petey is opting out and I shall maintain the head honcho CDL role. Thanks, thanks very much. I will do my best to p!ss JGK and qmy off with my erratic decision-making.
