Celebrity death guess...

First topic message reminder :

Yes, folks...I think I done something similar elsewhere before, I know it's distasteful..my step dad was champ at this and won some money in his work,as him and other managers would put money in the kitty every week until a ' winner' pops it   

..when my mum told me he done this , I though it was quite distasteful...but then I thought..well it's nobody's family that we know, so they won't be harmed by what they don't know I guess...I would never do this with anyone on here ffs!

Lets have your bets on the next famous( most likely old) person to die...
Only rule is that it has to be someone famous themselves...not their aunty's cousin's sister...

And heard by the majority of people, my step dad had his last bet on Nelson Mandela for the past two years, since when he took retirement and recently collected his winnings.


So her looking up all the old people and lets have a bet!

Don't know who I'm going for tbh???

Bruce Forsyth is getting on, but he still looks in good shape for his age!!

I'll guess later...

I can't believe the 'outrage' this thread has created. Are some people just looking for a fight?

Loads of people do celebrity death pools; hell even flap runs/ran one (I think mattiducatti/tommy monk predicted both Chavez and Thatcher). They are a bit in bad taste no doubt, but so are many things. It is incomparable to racism.

Since everyone else is busy bitching over it I'll throw in some guesses of my own:

Bashar al-Assad
Ian Brady
Robert Mugabe

*I wont lie, on a totally immoral hypocritical Leftie note; I would revel in the news of any of those three kicking the bucket

   They're more likely to get struck by lightning in a cave!

What a miserable bunch.

I'll go for Billy Connolly.

Ah well JD got his wish and created another shite storm.

All those who think this is ok need to remember that when they are trying to deny free speech to others perhaps...

OMG!

Thanks folks, I still don't know who to go for and if Thatcher was still skive I would have went for her.


I'm going to go for Dennis Healy!

So those who are joining in are voting for people they would like to see die.

See what I mean?

My thoughts too Eilzel, I did think Brady, but hope the three of them have a miserable time left.

Oh stop it Rags ffs!, you and Nems are doing a terrible job with this fake outrage.

How do you work that out? If there was a bet on whether it would piss down with rain tomorrow, and I bet on it because I thought it was more likely than not, doesn't mean I wish it would rain!

I could have named others who I think will die but would rather didn't (a certain Prince and a certain former Cuban leader) but that wouldn't really be fair, and old movie stars and the like have a tendency to live very long.

Mugabe is in and out of ill health,
Brady has to be on his way out,
al-Assad is always one big rebel strike from going the way of Gaddafi haha

I'm just backing the most likely candidates   

Now join and stop moping    

Sickos. I'll leave you to it.

Tbh, I would also rather it came to bad people anyway!..but none of us are immune form death I suppose.

Mugabe, it's official!

I'm Dennis Healy ,well I'm not actually ,but I think he could be the next famous person to pass.

No harm? How would you like it if people were making bets about when you were going to die, or when a member of your family was going to die? How would you like it if they made money out of it?

You've got some strange ideas about what's right and what's wrong.

Big deal. Are you winning money here, now, on this forum? It's a game. Fantasy. No real money is involved. You will win nothing.

I personally feel that wishing death and verbally typing that they hope that person is in pain and dies a slow painful death is much worse than playing an online game.

My guess is one of my favourite actors: Eli Wallach

Hi JD, Theres been a few dead pool threads on flap, I guess some posters can feign outrage a lot better than others.

He's lived a good long life Joy, he'll be sorely missed when he does begin his next journey.

He's provided many great films for all to enjoy for years to come.

Good for you!

The calamitous coalition is pursuing the concept of "death dates" for our pensioners, I guess it's just another method used by the city to get their hands on all that grey filthy lucre, one cretin even went as far as telling coffin dodgers to go out and spunk their pensions on Lamborghini's, such was the terminology used.

The stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming!

...look , you e been told by many that this actually harming nobody, do to pretend you haven't seen much worse ,mor been part of much worse...

Now I thought you were going to just leave us to it?, why are you back trying to cause animosity again?..

Unless your claiming to know Harry?

Well if people had left me alone after I said I'd leave you lot to it, I wouldn't have needed to reply. If you want to play your sick game, do it, but don't have a go at me for replying to festering shit stirrers like "Harrymuffin".

Take it easy Rags...

Hey Prince Philip may be a good bet?,yes... he gets the best of care but age is certainly creeping up!, he's been in the hospital a few times now hasn't he?...

You take it easy.

Oh, you already are - you're sitting there grinning at the thought of someone dying. Sicko.   

Festers?

I'm more of a DTVer. I do read, I'm not immune to that.

Phil is a good choice, Joy. Must dash, catch up with you soon.

Do you think so?
I dont, I think both come under what it is and isnt acceptable to say.
It offends me and it is my right to be offended.
If this thread was entitled how many celebs can we out as being gay you might not be so keen on it.

I'll take a gamble on Mick Jagger.

Maybe he might be a little over zealous with his painkillers following his tragic loss.

We reside on a close btw so no chance of him doing that any way...
