    ...2022 Celebrity death pool...

    ...Going to try run a 2022 celebrity death pool- It was actually quite popular on this for a couple of years... It might not be for everyone, but it's not like it makes a difference to the world!... Would be good to get a good list of people involved... Rules.

    1. Pick 7 celebs/famous people, who you think will kick the bucket in 2022.
    2. You get points per age deducted from 100. If you pick a 94 year old who succumbs, you get 6 points- if you pick someone aged 100 or over, you get 0 points.
    3. Whoever has the most points at the end of year wins.
    4. In the event of tie break, whoever has the most picks who died wins. If still tied, split money.
    5. It's €25 per entrant, and the honor system applies. So if you don't win, pay at end of year- or else forever be shamed as a welcher.

    ... Thinking have all picks into me either here or PM by 21:00 17th January, and i'll post all of them then...

            ...Bumping this- I've only received one set of picks so far... Will extend the deadline to Friday night, and if Oleras has a death in his picks, they count ... Will spam more this week to get entrants...

                        ...We are now live- Picks below, but also spreadsheet in the 1st post... Sadly only 5 of us to post after 6 runners declared- If Hector like he can enter a small bit late (middle of wee), providing none of his picks have been influenced by our picks (or events happening from now)... So €125 for the winner... Picks below for people too lazy to look at sheet.

                            Had Shane McG on my list and subbed him out.
                            Is Shannon Doherty dying?

                                Oleras's list reads like people he hopes will die rather than people he thinks will die

                                    Yeah she's in palliative care already. So is Linda Nolan.
