I’ve had Tim on my list for years and years, uniquely I think. I considered dropping him several times, but I always stuck to my guns. This year loads of people had him, though, so that’s slightly disappointing. But it’s okay, I still get some points! ---

Bob Hawke, former Australian PM, at age 89. He was on my list because he was quoted in December as saying he wouldn’t make it to the election, which is in two days. Let’s keep this on record for next time someone wants an example of a politician keeping their word.

Nope, can’t get negative scores. People who die at 100 or older count zero points, regardless of how much older. They can, however, count towards the “Quantity Not Quality” award. Also eligible for counting towards the “Inside Track with the Grim Reaper” award if they are unique picks.
