Following the degeneration of the last dead pool posts into pseudo ironic reasons for fatality, I thought you might like to play with my own list for 2012.
I've taken out Maggie (ooh, how I wish) and Zsa Zsa Gabor as they were dealt with on the last list, and I do like the idea of one Royal (but not Phil or Betty), but here's my list for you.
Vera Lynn
Abdelbaset Ali Mohamed Al Megrahi
Cliff Richard
Harold Camping
Nancy Reagan
Andy Williams
Billy Graham
Jim Callaghan
David Bowie
Anthony Worrall Thompson
I'll start you with AW-T: The Isobel Barnett manoeuvre.
