Congratulations to Uncle Dickie who correctly identified that there would be a nip in the air today after the dead of the Japan’s Prince Mikasa Takahito. Mind you, if they Yanks had done their job properly in 1945, he’d have been gone years ago never mind at the ripe old age of 100!

So we wipe the slate and move on to Dead Pool 42…

A reminder of the rules (especially the first one):

1. Nominate who you think is the next cunt on the way out. You can have up to five choices.
List your nominations in the comments of this post. It’s the current Dead Pool. Comments not in this post (e.g. in the previous one or other posts) will be ignored. Please wait for the reset when a pool is won and we move on. That way, we all know where we are!

2. You win if your Cunt dies first.
Then the slate is wiped clean and we start again. Of course, you can always be a cunt and steal someone else’s dead cunt candidate from the last Dead Pool.

3. It helps admin if you nominate one name per line, no numbers in front or comments afterwards. Comment what you like after your five names! A request – not a hard and fast rule – but it speeds up the list making if we can do a straight cut and paste to a spreadsheet.

Any cunt who tries to cheat by nominating the World’s Oldest Man or Woman is a cunt and will be ignored. Any anonymous cunt who can’t be bothered to make up a name for themselves will also be ignored. Oh, and the usual “Our Blog Our Rules” thing applies.

I’ll stick with the Dioclese “5 Go to the Coffin Shop” lot I had last time round : Javier Perez de Cuellar, Richard Adams, Peter Lord Carrington, Bob Dole, Jacques Chirac and The Eye and Sir Limply can fight it out over who get Olivia and Zsa Zsa this time round – unless they win in which case I want them back!!

So nominations are now open. Off you go and good luck
