You seem so sure of your conclusion that it doesn’t open any discussion I fear, just like in the case of Dr Young. Anyway as I said, facts can be interpretated in both ways but I think no one is impartial enough to investigate on it unfortunately.
-
There is no proof her father and husband knew anything at all. and for the other part, saying that they prepared the switch back to a few years before Yvonne death is completely absurd. no intangible proof has been given to unvalidate her age. I have doubt myself sometimes but the two main questions remain : why would they do such a thing ? And how is it possible that no one had noticed and tell.
-
Have you proofs to support that or is it just your imagination ? And What do you make of all the people Who knew personnally Yvonne and Jeanne (they were wealthy and famous people in their town), and the ones Who came to see Yvonne’s wake ceremony (is it how it’s called ? Veillée funèbre I meant)
-
do you imagine switching identity for more than 60 years with one of your parent without anyone noticing or telling the truth ? bullshit imo

but you're talking of someone who was supposed to be 118-120 at that time : my own great grandmother who was 102 when she died, even if still mentally sharp, confused a lot of things. She talked about her mother, her daughter (who was dead) as if they were alive, mixing up dates too and sometimes referring as her late husband as her brother. It's not that uncommon to have an old person mixing informations, making mistakes about their life, dates and everything. Also, you nitpicking on details that she, 110 years after the event occurs, should remember vividly and without any mistake. I think it's pretty obvious to say that 100 years later, no one can still be expected to remember a detail of its own history with so much accuracy. I myself have trouble remembering what I ate yesterday so if I ever become a supercentenarian, don't expect me to give accurate details about my youth. Honestly, the debate could go on for years : every small detail can be interpreted either in favour of her case or in disfavour of it. I'm really jealous of those who have a strong opinion on the subject, I myself never questioned the veracity of it until recently and as time goes by, I'm more and more unsure of what I believe or not. I have no opinion on it but it's driving me crazy to not know and I just hope that one day, someone will exhume both bodies and come up with a finale answer. to sum-up : are you pro-french or pro-russian ? End of my participation on this case.
-
So are you saying you believe in the veracity of her age or the contrary ? Don’t understand
-
je viens de découvrir que Pierre Castel, milliardaire francais et exilé suisse, président du groupe Castel, est toujours vivant à 96 ans
-
yes all good thanks !
-
Does someone ever tried to contact Jean Marie Robine, Michel Allard Francois Hermann or Bernard Jeune rather than Dr. Young ? They're the experts who have validated Calment's age when she was alive and who refuted the russian claims in 2019 edit : here is their full article (for free) claiming she was really 122 after the russian claims appeared in 2019
-
Honestly, she doesn’t completely change her signature. Only small changes and not conclusive one at all. It doesn’t prove anything in my opinion : France is, as you say a country obsessed with bureaucraty and signature doesn’t mean much here. I, for exemple, can’t have the Same signature twice and I changed it more than 3 or 4 times without anyone noticing or telling me nothing about it
-
I think it’s nitpicking at this point. We can interpret fact in either ways and the debate could last for decades. The only thing that could end it up once and for all would be to have the Calment ladies exhume to see who is in whose coffin.
-
Didn’t notice that ! Interesting, this whole story is so confusing, I don’t know What to believe now
-
Don’t know What to do of these signature. What was your point ?
-
nevermind get it (i think..)
-
True but I’m gonna stick to my guts for this time. Hopefully it works well and if not, then I’ll make some changes for next year
-
Just add a finale category to make it 10 awards : I have split "biggest death" into "biggest female death" and "biggest male death" to look more like Oscar, Cesar or others… and also to add a little suspense because her majesty the queen ruins it all
-
the thing is, I don't feel like making those kind of award for previous years would be as interesting as no one is interested in searching for old infos and I think this has to be one in the moment, when the year wraps up
-
You're right though, it's more an opinion than a prediction ! the goal is not to predict whoever will be on the 50 spot but much more who, in your opinion, is deserving of it.
-
I understand that it's in the busiest period of the year but I doubt postponing it at the end of january would change anything : I don't think anyone who could appear on any category would be announced death one month (or more) after the closing of the poll. Plus, it doesn't have any sense to have an "2022 award" thing one month after the end of the year does it ? Furthermore, "most promising one" category would be quite distorted... if everyone wants to postpone it at the end of january then we can do like that but I really think it's easier closing the thing on the 2nd at midnight. It's not like you need to have a full list of people, just a few categories and a lot of them can already be completed (we're not waiting someone who could top her majesty in december for example). Feel free to send a primary list when you want and to correct it in late late december or early january (I will post a reminder here) if a recent death comes to mind
-
You’re right. I’ll change the date to 2nd of january 20pm for the closing. That way people dead on the 31st and only announced on the 1st or the 2nd would have a chance.
-
I should have thought of that award idea last year, I fear her majesty will win a lot of them…
-
Yes of course you’re able to change your submission until the 31th of december !
-
feel free to answer "no one" in a category if you don't feel like someone is deserving of the award or if you don't like to answer. The "no one" will be counted.
-
I just thought of her, I always thought she was famous enough to be on the list wasn’t she ?
