Sean 6,348 Posted January 19, 2017 Was thinking about this idea that isn`t officially a pool but might be interesting.Imagine you have been given a job as an obituary writer/programmer at a mainstream national news network and you are responsible for updating and adding obituaries to the news networks files to be used when someone notable conks out.Then imagine you have the capacity to oversee 25 obituaries a week.If you were in that situation who would you choose?You can post the names on this thread each week.Bear in mind that you can only pick names your hypothetical boss wouldn`t question.You can pick whoever you like each week but of course, it is embarrassing the more high profile they are.If someone falls ill list your changes but if someone dies not on your list then you would have to write it up there and then.Not a pool as I say but a good way to be smug if you get timings right.Could be good to share ideas with a twist that wouldn`t give unique picks away.Here would be the ones I would be working on this week: George H W Bush Barbara Bush The Queen Prince Philip Donald Trump Charles Manson Jimmy Carter Pope Benedict Pope Francis King Michael of Romania Nobby Stiles Billy Graham Tony Booth Vera Lynn Theresa May Douglas Hurd Peter Sallis Leslie Phillips Denis Norden Desmond Tutu Jacques Chirac Helmut Kohl Gord Downie Leah Bracknell Stephen Hawking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
