He's got birthday cards off the Queen. That doesn't mean their friends. She (her office) sends them to anyone reaching 100 each year and then one for 105 onwards each year.

Guesses on what the speech is going to be about? The Queen of Denmark did the same thing a few weeks ago which basically was a: "Take this serious, you little shits, and do what you're told."

The Queen to address the nation on Sunday night.

I don't disagree these 2 are very old, but stating the life expectancy of a country like this is not really that helpful. The elite in these places have resources not available to the plebeian class, so the life expectancy of the country doesn't apply to them. Unless that was your point.

I assume you are all aware of the death of 108 year old British immunologist William Frankland, but I thought I would just note it on this thread anyway https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2020/04/02/william-frankland-global-authority-treatment-allergies-obituary/ Edit- I see it was in fact allready mentioned in this thread. Must look more carefully in future ! Sorry.

He was the oldest British male 'famous' centenarian, only beaten by Eileeen Whelan as oldest British 'famous' centenerian, so let's pay tribute to him. We needed him now more than ever ! PS his place as the oldest British male 'famous' centenarian has been taken by the footballer Arthur Smith, who turns 105 next month.

From Fleming assistant to pioneering allergist, Dr. William Frankland led quite the remarkable 108 years. Though Frankland dodged multiple close brushes with death (such as while a WWII POW), in the end it was old, old age that forced the Grim Reaper to get over his allergies and knock the doc out. Pedro67 was alone in picking Frankland on the main team, and his total is nothing to sneeze at: 45 base points plus 18 unique ones for a total of 63. Additionally, Clorox Bleachman had Frankland on the subs bench and is prescribed 25 points.

Oh you!

Innit good to have Lardy back This place has been dull without her.

I always have a heart attack whenever I see someone post on this thread or tweet her name. Please God don't let Donald Trump appoint another Supreme Court Justice !

A physically fit tiny Ashkenazi Jewish woman like RBG will probably live long enough to see President PewDiePie or Willow Smith

I hope she dies soon.
