In under the wire…

I'm letting most of my list ride again with the one casualty duly replaced. I quite like Billy Graham and he isn't worth many points anyway, so he gets a reprieve.

Which gives me:

1. Margaret Thatcher (if I take her off the list she'll die to spite me)
2. Fidel Castro
3. Hosni Mubarak
4. Peter Stringfellow (long shot - but I personally have a theory that he's dead already and just hasn't stopped moving about)
5. Ronnie Biggs
6. Hakimullah Mehsud (big cheese of the Pakistani Taliban)
7. Silvio Berlusconi
8. Paul Daniels (just because)
9. Bashar al-Assad
10. Michael Douglas
11. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
12. Hugo Chavez
13. Ben Jonson (Olympic cheat and famous anabolic steroid abuser - bad for the heart)

Large chunks copied and pasted from last year, including the panicked note... I did finally get some points on the board, but Megrahi had to go some day, so hardly a surprise

Right, as ever, suddenly realised it's the last day - eek!

1. Aretha Franklin
2. Hugo Chavez
3. Rush Limbaugh
4. Sharif Ahmed (Somali President)
5. George H W Bush (same grounds as Megrahi last year which, I quote, was "I'm going to get a bloody point if it kills me!")
6. Jimmy Armfield
7. Michael Douglas
8. Paul Gascoigne
9. Hilary Clinton (can you tell I'm desperate, given today's news?)
10. Alan Stanford
11. Bernie Madoff
12. Tony Blair
13. Jerry Lee Lewis (can you tell that I was getting a bit desperate towards the end...?)

He was the perfect antidote to Henry Blofeld's idocy and I spent many a happy summer's afternoon listening to him on TMS. He will be missed.

In other news, my rather spectacular failure to keep the results web page up to date in 2012 has precipitated a change in how things will be run this year. Stepping manfully into the breach is The Rogue, so many, many thanks to him. I'll let him describe how things will work, but I'm sure it's going to be great.

Thanks, iF.

One difference between 2013 and previous years is that I don't have any web space so will be posting results here. In summary form, I hasten to add, as the hosts won't want great long posts with zillions of zeroes.

I am keeping my records on a spreadsheet and if you want a copy please pm me.

To make sure that I have got the correct people on each list I will pm everyone with who I think they have picked. This will be over the next few days. I'm doing this because no matter how careful I am there is still plenty of scope for cock-up!

To summarise the entries (subject to correction - see above) there have been 45 lists entered. One has only ten names and one twelve so there are 581 nominations for 269 celebrities. 207 (77%) of the names are male and the rest female.

Margaret Thatcher has the most nominations (27) and the Duke of Edinburgh is next with 22. George Bush snr and nelson Mandella share third place with 19 nominations each. 193 celebrities have only one nomination.

If all the celebrities had all died today maleveque would have won, assuming rule five did not come into play.

There are three pairs of nominees born on the same day - one of these pairs actually are twins. There is also a trio. Paul McCartney, Roger Ebert and Thabo Mbeke were all born on 18th June 1942.

I'm not aware that any of the nominees are Shippies.

I could go on but once they have shown Spurs on Match of the Day I will be switching off.

Please ask me any questions you have about how the Pool will be run and please do give me feedback on how it's going as the year progresses. Any corrections will be gratefully received.

Hahahaha. I like that better than my answer, which I suspect is the true one (they're all under 30 if I am guessing correctly so would be high points). Bynes might be an excellent sleeper entry, she is as much of an addicted wreck as LiLo.

Not vampires (as far as I know, anyway), and their age *does* have something to do with it, but there's something more specific.
Some clues: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse.

Memories! For some reason my dad - not a lover of sitcoms at all - really loved that show. It used to be on during the all-important 'teatime slot' as I remember.

Great Baltimore Oriole manager Earl Weaver has died. While on a baseball fantasy cruise. I suppose there are worse ways to go than being surrounded by adoring fans.

So far this year nobody on anyone's list has died.

Wow. Rough couple of days for baseball. Cardinal great Stan Musial has died, the day after Earl Weaver.

I had the good fortune to see Stan the Man play a couple of times toward the end of his career. There was a joke at the time that if you were a father taking his son to a Cardinals game, you would send him to get a hot dog every time Stan came up to bat, so he wouldn't be tempted to imitate his (extremely weird) stance.

Apart from a few people who either have opted out of PMs or whose PM boxes are full I have sent confirmations to all coffin anticipaters.

Well done, Tree Bee, for getting the Inside Track With The Grim Reaper award. I should add that this is subject to there being no other deaths which are still to be reported or discovered.

In fact, at the moment you are holding all four awards on offer...
