Leslie Caron 2. Alain Delon 3. Dalai Lama 4. Brigitte Bardot 5. Johnny Mathis 6. Peter Hollingworth 7. Thomas Kenneally 8. Barry Crocker 9. Harry M. Miller 10.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted May 14, 2017 Just now, Shaun of the Dead said: Long live the Queen. LOL - I think that's actually one of the things I like about this game - the fact that the Queen could drop tomorrow or that she could last ten years. It adds real randomness to the result. Â Â The longer she lasts, the less chance some of my riskier picks have. Â Who knows, though? Â At this age, even someone safe like Julie Andrews (everyone else's Number 1) may go down hill suddenly in a few years' time. Â Â It will be an interesting game to monitor in the background until the time comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I think this thread will be brilliant for the committee to study.All of us have picked names worthy of Death list inclusion.I only had to google one name on anyone`s list.This isn`t surprising though as obscurity and obit rules count for nothing whatsoever.It will be interesting to see how long the game lasts and whether my team which has the youngest aggregate picks I believe pays off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
