I am quite happy to run the deadpool again next year, but there was talk at the beginning of 2013 that bonus points be awarded for various things, age of the person, being one that I can remember.

If someone wants to step in with a different scoring system, than that is fine by me.

If you want me to continue with the current set up, please post up your 10 picks by Sunday 5 January. In alphabetical order would be a big help. Any one popping their clogs before midnight 31 December can be substituted. As usual the picks must have their own wiki page and cannot be held on death row somewhere. And of course you can't be responsible for their death.

Ok, I'll get in early this year. My clog popping nominations are,

Chapman Pincher - Journalist
Zsa Zsa Gabor - Actress
Joao Havelange - Ex FIFA President
Eli Wallach - Actor
Vera Lynn - War time Sweetheart and Singer
Richard Adams - Author
Billy Graham - Evangelist
Jake Lamotta - Boxer
Dennis Healy - Ex Labour Chancellor
Henry Kissinger - Diplomat

As a mark of respect to a local legend I don't think anyone should nominate Wilko Johnson. We all know he wont see 2014 out but he is a local man and some of us might have had the pleasure of meeting him.
 
Here are mine; one or two returns from the last list, but mostly new:
Richard Attenborough
Lauren Bacall
David Bailey-photographer
Tony Benn-politician
Jack Charlton
Barry Cryer
Dalai Lama
Brian Matthews-radio presenter
Van Morrison
Prince Philip

With my record, their families should quite safely order next years Christmas presents.

Ha! I saw Van on stage last week and he looked in pretty good nick to me.Only 69 next year,isn't he?
 
I play a slightly different game than this, where you get points based on their age. I was accused during 2013 of just coming up with old and ill people (which to be fair is the point of the game). So, here are some younger people, who are ill and have the dubious pleasure of being on my list.

Albert Reynolds (former Irish PM)
Clive James
John McVie (Fleetwood Mac)
Josst Van Der Westhuizen
Sam Simon
Sandy Jardine
Scott Putseky (aka Daisy Berkowitz from Marilyn Manson)
Tammy Lyn Stich (Sunny from WWE)

I did originally have Wilko but removed him in light of Mr Grout's post earlier.

Think this is a good idea, Wilko is still out and about, see him often in and around Leigh. Appearance-wise he's showing no further deterioration, he's still Wilko, still out there being involved. As long as he's keeping himself active and busy then hopefully that will help in his chosen battle.
 
Wasn't there going to be a rule this year where age/diagnosed illnesses as of 1/1/14 were subject to a handicap system?

For instance Greek Phil isn't worth as much of a score as Joey Essex!
