Will you be keeping the same list then?

As usual, when I've listed mine I'll be sending it along to you

GB

Yup, lets stick with those!

Given previous form this was a duff season for Beatrice - commiserations (or congratulations on keeping them all alive and well )

"Oh dear, Mr Dreadful, only you and I still sitting on a zero!"

Looks like it! I think I may take a 'lottery ticket' approach to the 2014 game and just use the same list!

Ah, going for the "sooner or later, I'll get some points!" approach. All you have to do is outlive them.

Lawrence of Arabia of Arabia dies, and Geoffrey Barnard is no longer ill.

Peter O'Toole dies at 81.

Thanks for the alert MMF

Blimey, this is now my best year so far in this game I reckon. So long Peter.

Looks like you might have to hire a hitman, Beatrice...

don't do that Beatrice! I've just duplicated your list for the 2014 game



We now have 4 players, Beatrice, Galaxy Babe, Icy North and Mol.

Please can everyone else who is interested in playing start thinking about their list? Email complete list with your user name and user number in the title please, to galaxybabeATgmailDOTcom

They'll all pass away sometime, it's just a waiting game!

I'm not sure they will. I've had Fidel "Wowbagger" Castro on my list for as long as I can remember.

I like to change my list each year - that's why whenever someone dies I think I've got points - but oh no - she/he was on my list _last year_

I'm glad I still don't have - as someone once described him Ariel 'points' Sharon on my list - there will be a significant archeological find one day of him still alive on life-support. Fidel Castro is a mere beginner at that game.

I imagine that's how Icy and Dai must be feeling about Joan Fontaine

Just sent my additions

Received and replied with a query

We now have 4 players, Beatrice, Galaxy Babe, Icy North, logicus tracticus philosophicus and Mol.

I meant to type "5 players" (damn cold fingers)

How many guesses do you get? I'm thinking of trying my luck

15, I think, with one of them being under 50.

Must check that my under-50 is still illegible

The rules are on the Home Page, Pastey
