Dead pool predictions for 2013. You get three each, plus a 'wildcard' - I:e three that are really likely to throw a seven next year and one that's unlikely but you've got an idea they'll pop their clogs.
My go!
Prince Philip - 'Bladder infection' my arse!
Maggie Thatcher - About time the evil harridan died and gave me an excuse to drink solidly for a week or two in celebration.
Nelson Mandela - Seriously, it's about time!
My wild card - Keith Chegwin.

Have fun kiddies!

I'll go for;

Arsene Wenger - lynched by a mob of angry fans who've decided it's the only way to get the club to spend serious wedge
Russell Brand - wishful thinking really but AIDS is quite bad for you, so I've heard
Arnold Schwarzenegger - killed to death foolishly attempting own stunts on ill-advised return to moviemaking

Wildcard - future monarch, stillborn in Kate's fanny.

Or if they CAN remember thature's reign, and hate her, they were that uncle.
