Dead Pool closed last week for December 2016. I’ve just got round to the data input and it looks like this:

Top Five of the Month:

1. Bruce Forsyth (9 votes)

Too ill to attend Ronnie Corbett’s funeral the other month. Brucey has been heavily backed for most of 2016 but is still turning the cards.

2. David Attenborough (6 votes)

Snake’s gonna catch him sometime.

3. Donald Trump (6 votes)

A candidate for being ‘fired’ (on).

4. Prince Philip (5 votes)

Perennial dodger of the reaper.

5. Kirk Douglas (4 votes)

… is literally going to turn 100 in a few days time. That’s his plan, anyway.

The Rest…

Unusual to see the Queen not inside the top 5. Is her popularity finally waning.
