    Here we go again! It's time for another edition of that classic, and somewhat macabre, FF New Year tradition - The 2024 Dead Pool!

    The rules are easy: name four people who you believe won’t make it into 2025 and the winner is the user who gets the most correct. Unless something changes in the next 12 hours the 2023 winner is StretfordEnd who correctly guessed two out of four.

    You can not name anyone that has already been named by another user, is on death row or subject of a manhunt, or anyone who is famous for only being old (e.g. the world's oldest person). The only other stipulation is that we have heard of them.

    Name your four choices and I’ll add them to the list. If any of your choices are disqualified for the reasons above then you can name someone else.

    Once your picks have been added to the main list they can not be changed later on in the year.
