Prince Andrew: You did, didn't you?

Japan recently had a "Day of respect for the elderly", or something like that. Kane Tanaka was celebrated, too: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190916_28/ Soeur André got a package of chocolate last week: http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/preghiera-e-cioccolato-io-decana-deuropa-1753230.html She doesn't move anymore and her main happiness is being able to pray daily (and chocolate). America now has another super-centenarian World War II again, so the new Richard Overton is Lawrence Brooks: https://www.warhistoryonline.com/news/veteran-3.html Switching to the oldest people with fame beyond age: Cecilia Seghizzi celebrated her 111th birthday this month: https://www.rainews.it/tgr/fvg/video/2019/09/fvg-Seghizzi-Cecilia-111-anni-75d28743-f1ef-49e1-a6fd-a22ecc36a010.html Still looking stable, sitting in that chair there. Renée Simonot turned 108 this month. Her daughter says that she's been living in a "maison", so I guess, a care home, for 2-3 years. But she isn't ill and there is still energy: https://www.programme-tv.net/news/cinema/239077-catherine-deneuve-ses-rares-confidences-sur-sa-mere-renee-agee-de-108-ans/ EIleen Ash got a picture of herself last month, she's still walking and looking pretty well even though she feels like 200: https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/1316483

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49783147 I fear a big death is coming.

Peoplekind?

Did they recover the ring?

He knew what a terrible mistake he made and what was in store for him.

He's also fond of flaunting his approachability - not always the safest option

Ash said "she felt like 200" because she had a portrait as a historical figure, I think. Physically she look amazing. I've already posted about Seghizzi's birthday. Her health has considered worsened since last December.

Internet meme circulating about that:

A Boy Named Su

Artistically, that's about right ( ba-dumm-tshh...).

Jim Croce stopped singing on this day 37 years ago, aged 30.

No more camping to set up for Dr Himmler after this day 73 years ago, aged 49.

Fuck knows what happened but I saw the post and started craving a plate of fish fingers!

Karl Popper thoughts were put to rest on this day 25 years ago, aged 92.

QO for Princess Christina, ending a 12-day long dry spell: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/princess-christina-netherlands-who-lived-18947522 Thanks and congratulations, Predictor.

Even Joan of Arc left a carbon footprint.

(1) I never addressed the question of charitable donations. Not my point. (2) I'm not a chef. I think my point wasn't particularly well made. These chefs make up recipes, serving tiny portions at exorbitant prices to idiots who have too much money and not enough sense. In other words, these chefs are merely pretentious parasites feeding on other mainly pretentious parasites. Clear enough? I gave an example of how a celebrity chef may garner more respect from me. It's not an exclusive example. My personal respect for someone one way or another shouldn't bother you. You may have a different opinion, which I shall respect, rather than launch an immediate attack on someone to attempt to shut them down. My opinion remains the same. My mother used to mix milk into the mashed potatoes to make it go further. She didn't invent that, neither did this French chef. So he cheapens the product, makes it go further to serve more customers and gives it a fancy name. We are expected to be in awe of that?
