Who Will Die First? - Second Round
'Old fat man with previous health problems dies' was a story which Leshy, Stew, Roadrunner, and Deepflow all had the insight to see would come sooner rather than later, and they all recieve a point.
For the second round, an old friend of ours enters the fray. So again, we ask the question:
Who will die first?
- Margaret Thatcher. (Reigning Champion.)
- Boris Yeltsin.
- Benedict XVI.
- George Bush Snr.
- Gerald Ford.
- Jimmy Carter.
- Jiang Zemin.
- Her Maj.
Place your bets now please.

Our resident expert on not dying, DM, says that Liz 2 is probably 'the safest'.

Benedict XVI and Yeltsin are tipped as this round's 'hot favourites'.

Yeltsin, although i still believe he died years ago and only retains his "youthful" looks by his body being pickled with his love of vodka.

The numbers game is dodgy though. Thatcher might fall under a bus tommorow or something. (Here's hoping, anyway.)

Ford has a history of falling down. Plus he must be pretty frail now so.....

Yeltzin. apparently he is "rather ill" and in communist speak that means he has been pushing up daisies for six months.

Re: Who Will Die First? - Second Round
Thatcher will probably be the first reported death.
I will, however, put down Jiang Zemin for me. First, to force qebab to change his answer, second because likely Zemin died four years ago and the Chinese simply aren't letting anyone know yet. And so no matter who dies first, I can still claim that I might be right.

Re: Who Will Die First? - Second Round
I shall be surprised (read: hillariously amused by the irony of it all) if Thatcher dies now.
The Chelsea and Westminster is an NHS hospital and I am sure that the vicious, socially destructive, evil and perverted old harridan dies in an NHS hospital: which of course she was instrumental in underfunding.
EDIT: Everyone knows that she took to whisky quite strongly before dennis died and afterwards she decided to swim in the stuff. This seems like a medical non event to me.

Chelsea and Westminster is maintained by my company.
Its a complete mess really. They spend more on Art than they do on maintenance.

Nah, funding of the NHS increased under Thatcher by something like 4% per year in real terms.

Sup demographic changes, escalating cost of drugs/staff/new treatments*, maintenance costs*, etc
