A 38(!) year old cat? There’s NO WAY he didn’t switch in a replacement at some point!

What puzzles me is how seems like people don't even consider how easy it is to fake something like this. I've owned cats and I've known tons of people who've owned elderly (15-23) cats and dogs and some of those claims on the internet are clearly as fake as all those Indonesian 150-year-old grandmas. 

 

Creme Puff is verified  by the Guinness World Records. I wonder how exactly they verify pets...

Among the many people showing up to pay tribute to the Queen, Dame Joan Bakewell appeared on Channel 4. She is 89 nowadays but looks and sounds two decades younger.

 

 

Joan Bakewell has colon cancer;

They got most of it out though. Some "cleaning up is left to do".

I actually considered her at some point last year for my dames team but didn’t even put her a sub depsite the fact she is 90 in a few weeks. If she makes 2024 she will be on it for sure. 
 

In fact depending on her health she could be a contender for the main list - she is famous enough

I can see Jane Fonda making it to 100. Hope I haven’t jinxed her

Who will be around for a while.

 

Henry Kissinger - Thee Henry Kissinger is someone who is very with it as one would imagine.

David Oreck - The founder of Oreck products (reach deep inside the closet and who knows) well, I think he's doing fine.

Nelson Mandela - Centurion.

Nancy Reagan - Despite her recent fall, Nancy may become the oldest living former first lady.

IM Pei - The architect behind the rock and roll hall of fame may outlive a few more inductees.

John Glenn - Astronaut.

Oscar Nimeyer - Conspiracy in Brazil but Oscar thinks differently of this.

Carl Reiner - You know it.

Abe Vigoda - How old is Abe?

BB King - Still active and performing.

Hugh Downs - He's not Brazilian but he's obviously someone who will be around for a while.

Fidel Castro - Watching TV.

After the death of Oreck, Kissinger is the last survivor of this 2012 Banshees list.

Hmm. Bess Truman is still the oldest US First Lady by longevity, and she got to 97 and 8 months.

 

By my quick calculations, Rosalyn Carter would have to get to April 2025 to beat that? Seems unlikely tbh.

3.  8th July 2006 - Dr Hack picked Jimmy Savile (died in 2011), Queenie and Colin Bean (died in 2009) to live 60+ years more between them.

A few gone, others still trucking but imo if a name suggested in here at pension age was still alive a decade o more after the suggestion it was a good call. The early Parsons, Lansbury and Bennett calls for example.

 

Also John Woodvine is still alive. Shortly after Mary's suggestion above he had a heart incident and made a full recovery. Legend. 100% DLy in my book. Very much a face most who watched UK TV from the sixties to noughties will recognise.
