I can't get over DVD trying to fight a deadly wildfire with just him his wife and a faulty hosepipe.The guy clearly has a strong constitution and an almost abnormal strength for a man his age.I noted the reports sat he is frustrated by needing more help from others but he was still dancing recently in the Coldplay video and has now tried to fight a deadly wildfire.I mean he got exhausted apparently and had to be rescued but the guy Is 99.That is incredible.I reckon he could go on to be the oldest ever name on DL.I mean who could imagine Prince Philip ,Zsa Zsa Gabor ,Kirk Douglas ,Louise Rainer,Jimmy Carter ,Glynis Johns,The Queen Mother ,Princess Alice,Captain Tom ,Olivia de Haviland ,Joao Havelange,Betty White ,Oscar Niemeyer or David Rockefeller attempting to put out a deadly wildfire at 99.

Once again, your bizarre relationship with commas has made my day. Thank you.

I was talking to my mother this evening who had heard about DVD being evacuated on the news and reminded me how much he looked andacted like my father's late Uncle by marriage.She is right to he was basically a Welsh DVD.We reminded each other of the time he rang us up whilst on hospice.He had lung cancer and  was given 2 weeks to live and this was week 6 of hospice then .He could barely breathe  and was struggling audibly for every breath  and word but was so optimistic about us himself and the wider family. He lived over 3 months longer.He really was like DVD personality wise always singing and dancing.Im glad DVD was Immortalised whilst still alive.I would pay anything to see my dear Uncle dancing and laughing with all his family on tape.

He always said my grandmother (his sister in law ) would outlived him and he was right.I even call her the Zsa Zsa of the family.
