WTAAS...

[skully]

[DJ_Smerk]

Turn it up. I'm backing Zat's option on this one.

[skully]

Oi Smerks. Get your @rse over to the 2011 thread and give us 6 celebs thanks.

If I were a professional comedian - or even an amateur forummer - I'd try to write a decent sentence!

[PeterCS]

Aye, get yerselves back to the ghoulish 2011 thread!

[skully]

Seeing Petey was good enough to start this thread some time ago, time to start thinking about next year's noms.

The Rules:

Choose six celebrities:

- At least one must be under the age of 30 at the end of 2012 (no 30th birthday in 2012)
- At least one must be from the world of sport
- At least one from the world of politics
- No repeating previously nominated/listed celebs i.e if someone else was quicker than you in 2012, bad luck
- You cannot choose anyone from your 2009, 2010 or 2011 lists (see below)
- No sooking about anyone's selections - first in best dressed.
- Late entry will be at the behest of the thread starter.*

* Pete can take the honour of decision-making given he started the thread.

Here are the previous noms everyone has made in the 3 previous threads. You cannot choose them in your 2012 noms. And no bagsing. As I said, first in, best dressed. If any of these previous noms are now dead e.g picked in previous years but not in 2011 and I have missed them, please let me know.

[JGK]

sh!t. when did Bobby Robson die?

[JGK]

When can we get our first noms in again?

[skully]

Around midnight on December 2011.

Robson died 31 July 2009.

[skully]

Just realised Columbo is dead. That nom list may get edited a few more times for the dead ones.

[lardbucket]

So are we not allowed to nominate ANY of the living celebrities on the list above, or just not the ones we've previously nominated ourselves?

[skully]

No, no. You can't nominate anyone you have previously nominated (see the list on page 1), nor anyone that has already been grabbed for 2012 (nobody yet) i.e. no two people can nominate the same celebrity in 2012.

So pick the eyes out of the list, as long as you haven't picked them before.

[skully]

Honours for biggest ghouls on the Forum are currently shared by Zoggy and qmy, each having nommed 4 now-dead celebrities. How the hell Al Megrahi is still breathing is beyond me.

lardy is going great guns. None of his celebs have yet kicked off.

Ace. I'm so bad at this, in a couple of years I'll be nominating dead people and they'll be coming back to life.

[PeterCS]

You are way too life-affirming for your own good.

[Allan D]

Around midnight on December 2011.

Robson died 31 July 2009.

31st, you mean by inference, and EDT rather than GMT, I presume. Although you did allow late entrants this year as well as some swaps and amendments, if I recall, to which I have no objection although I appreciate there has to be a cut-off point to keep things sensible.

[Allan D]

As a lot of my noms get pinched, esp. by Skully, I'll put my five pennyworth in early for a change. I don't think these break any rules but will be open to amendment if told otherwise. So here goes (assuming all make it to firework time):

Bob Appleyard (Lancashire & England)
Bob Dole (would-be ex-POTUS)
Dom Mintoff (Malteser)
Olivia De Havilland (Tinsel Towntress)
Ravi Shankar (Sitar Fan)
Lewis Hamilton (Racing Driver).

[skully]

Rules clearly state, no bagsing allowed, ol' bean. And midnight Dec 31 is in the eye of the beholder. I hardly think a few hours and a few noms being snapped up is gonna make a difference. Otherwise I'd be winning this year by a mile, and, as you know, I'm not.

And I'm not interested in any of your current 6.

[Allan D]

I apologise, thought you meant 31 December was closing date not opening & closing date. All forummers feel free to select any of the above as I'm not interested in them either any more.
