Hope this is ok to post, it seems to be in a suitable forum anyway. Not supposed to be in bad taste, just meant to be a bit of fun. Got the idea from another forum I use and thought it would be fun to get it going here too, for anyone who's up for it. . .

Celebrity Deaths 2020 :
1. You must pick 20 celebrities who you think will die during the course of 2020.
2. You can't pick anyone who's famous purely for being old.
3. No changes to lists are allowed once they're posted. The only exception to this is if someone on your list dies between you posting your list and the game going live at midnight on Wednesday 1st January 2020.
4. If you can include what each person on your list is famous for, then that'd be appreciated. Nothing libellous, mind.
5. I will keep the scores updated as and when someone from anyone's list croaks. You get a point for each death. Most points at year end wins, its that simple!

Ideally I should have posted this a week ago, so to allow time for more entrants, I will allow you to post your list up to the end of Tue 7 Jan 2020. I will of course kick things off with my own list. If you could start off with your username as I have done below, it will help. Cheers, and best of luck, everyone!

She will still be dead in 2020, does that count? :p

Make another pick. Thanks for participating. Opinion is often split on topics like this. As stated, it's not meant to be in bad taste, just a bit of fun. I'd like to think that people can enjoy something like this, and as with stand up comedy, ‘if offended stay away' ! It is posted in NSFW after all
 
This is my new, updated list, they're alive as far as I know. :rolleyes:

A very British list.
 
Lol, sorry. I didn't word it very well. I didn't mean neccessarily British born, but culturally a "British" feel. Im not sure how internationally famous David Jason or Tony Blackburn are!
 
As stated, meant to be a bit of fun. The world is serious enough as it is. Its not like we are playing the game for money or sending hitmen after these people. If a topic doesn't interest you, don't post in it. Thanks to all who are participating
"Doesn't interest you" I don't if it's not of interest but if I find it in bad taste I will say so lots of people doing it doesn't make it a good thing to do. If any person on the lists had a illness they are dealing with someone predicting their death is not good. Make a list with good out comes not the end of someone's life!

By all means start such a thread, I'll participate in that one too.

We all have opinions, and we should all respect others opinions, but remember that sometimes you have to agree to disagree. Just because you don't like the color red doesn't mean that I can't.
