Sorry if this topic is a bit morbid, but I can't be the only person who plays deathpools. It might be an idea to start a pistonheads one. If somehow you're not aware of them, here is the rules from one example:
The following is speculation:
If you want my top tip, I'd put Parkie on it.
He's done his last show... now he's been given an honour... to me these are classical signs of a terminal illness which, quite rightly, is being kept private. So he'd certainly be on my list.

Each entry is made up of 10 famous people, listed in the order of their certainty. The one you think is most likely to die should be #1 on your list.
Whoever gets the most deaths wins, but in the event of any ties, points are awarded according to position. Number 1 is worth 10 points, #2 is worth 9 points, etc. These points ONLY come into play in case of ties. The number of deaths is the primary factor in winning the game. [more detail]
The number eleven slot on each list is for an alternate, which is ONLY used if one of your other ten celebs dies, or is discovered to be dead, between when you submit your list and when the game starts. The alternate is NEVER used under any other circumstances. [more detail]
You can't kill anybody, or even try to scare them or make them sick or anything.

Only joking, Mary...
Here's our take on the deathpool theme, now in it's 8th year. 50 points for a death "in catagory" 10 points "out of catagory".
NAME- central…………………………………………
OBVIOUS OLD TIMER MALE…Nelson
Mandella……………………………………………………………
OBVIOUS OLD TIMER FEMALE…Vera Lynn………………………………………………………...
BEEN ILL FOR AGES…Ronnie Biggs……………………………………………………………………..
POMPOUS GIT…Ludovic Kennedy…………………………………………………………………………….
COMPLETE BASTARD…Sir Robert Mark……………………………………………………………………

WILD CARD…Richard Widmark………………………………………………………………………………..
MUCH LOVED…Reg Varney……………………………………………………………………………..
WORLD LEADER…Yitzak Shamir………………………………………………………………………….
IRRITATING t
t…Winehouse……………………………………………………………………….
HOMOSEXUAL DEATH…Andy Bell……………………………………………………………………
New catagories:
BEARDY DEATH – Anyone with a beard that should be dead.
HOMOSEXUAL – Male or female, plenty of scope.
Though 2007 hasn’t been a storming year for deaths the contest is still wide open with Sharon leading on a mere 160 points as we go into the grand finale. The mid season change of up to six entries continues with the same rules applying.
All entries in by December 28th, can be emailed to ************
GOOD LUCK!

Those in the know suggest she has a couple more years but is unlikely to see 28...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club
