2024 Celebrity Death Pool #7

[Swinging Pineapple]

Dead serial killer.. Peter Tobin anyone?

 

[Duchessofmanchester]

I've a feeling Philip Schofield won't make it to the end of the year.

He died in 2022.

If Dick is dead, we all need a day of mourning.

Definitely need to hold a Dick's Dead Day.


I typed that very carefully.

 

[WickedThread]

There’s a winner in a recent post. I really hope what I’ve been told and have read is wrong. It won’t be a jolly holiday if it’s true.

That could either mean a major impact on calendar sales, or having to listen to certain seasonal songs even more than normal.
Or, we are definitely not getting any more Xmas specials of a certain long-running sitcom?

Notable deaths on this day (Oct 9th) in history include:

1967 Che Guevara, revolutionary and beret wearer
1973 Sister Rosetta Tharpe, gospel and R&B singer, and a huge influence on Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Elvis The Pelvis
1974 Oskar Schindler, businessman and responsible for saving 1200 Jews during the Holocaust
1988 Felix Wankel, inventor with a funny name

He died in 2022.

Ah it came up saying he died of prostate cancer I didn’t continue reading, just thought another arsehole is dead.. hurrah!

I don’t see the point of informing us what he died of I just hope he suffered tbh

Footballer George Baldock is presumably a nul points. 31 though, no age.

I wouldn’t be surprised but I don’t expect it. He doesn’t seem to think he’s done much wrong and seems hellbent on “setting the story straight”. If he weren’t around, who’d defend him or shit talk his enemies.
No, I think he’s as likely to try to launch his own production company making documentaries about bullying, homophobia, ageism etc, basically anything that gains sympathy for himself

2013 Mark "Chopper" Read, Australian criminal

Chopper the Whopper may they Rip (Iykyk)

 

[Reality_tv_lover]

I think; hear me out - that if Dick has popped off this mortal coil - anyone with him on their list should donate their points to us zero pointers Surely you wouldn’t want to gain from that massive loss (but I would )

Ooh me too

 

[Lovegossip]

D husband has given me his man flu, despite my attempts to stay away from and avoid contact

Oh no, I hope you feel better soon

 

[Lovegossip]

Oh no, I hope you feel better soon

Thanks, I was fine yesterday and today woke up with scratchy throat and I'm starting to feel blocked up now, still I have stuff that should help

Not going to lie Cry To Me is one of my all time favourite songs.

If Dick dies I will 100% go into mourning

Sorry about my quietness I had a family member in hospital earlier this week with a suspected stroke (thankfully it wasn’t) then my little one split his head open last night and had to have it fixed under general anaesthetic this morning

 

[Sir Lancelot]

@TruthTeller1036, much like Mary, loves Dick.

 

[Amoo]

I saw 'Mary Poppins' trending when I glanced at Twitter earlier and was momentarily . That was very inconsiderate of the Twitterers!

Nul points for Bobby Kennedy's widow Ethel. I thought she might've been someone's slightly obscure pick.

Ethel Kennedy: Kennedy family matriarch dies, aged 96

Ethel Kennedy was known for "a lifetime's work in social justice and human rights". She witnessed her husband's assassination in 1968 and tragedy stalked her family throughout her life.

Might have been but for the fact I'd have assumed she died years ago.

The stories she must have been able to tell.
