I've always thought the best point scoring system for this is (100- stiffs age) every year you have a few bankers, the more random should be rewarded for example Ms Spears would be a 75 pointer and you would have actually lost points for the dear old Queen Mother!

One of my mates did this years ago where she used to work. She had Frank Sinatra and when he died she won about £1700. Well, needless to say we went out on the Saturday afternoon to watch the footy and got very merrily drunk. :sweeeet:

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Tue Jan 08, 2008 11:56 pm

I was in one at work about 4 years ago, I had Jimmy Savile. It had been going for a couple of months paying a pound a week. The organiser kept the money in her drawer, and some bastard pinched the lot. rage

A few years ago, probably over 10, I had a 'friendly' wager with someone at work, we drew up a list of 5 names. I lost touch with him, and my copy of the lists, last thing I remember we were drawing 2's a piece, we both had The Queen Mum, and he had Frank Sinatra, and I had Peter Cushing. Another one of mine was Michael Jackson, it was around the time that the 'alleged' kiddyfiddling first emerged, I thought he might be a prime candidate, one way or another.

I was just working my way down a list off people over 90, who I could honestly say I had heard off, and The Alamo is one of my favourite films, my Dad took me to see it in the Odeon when I was 6.
