Interestingly he seems to have been very private about his personal life/relationships. His Telegraph obit simply contains the single sentence paragraph "He never married." at the end. I thought it was because he was maybe gay. Then I read on wikipedia he's a bit crazy and lived several lives (including that of a prostitute in the time of Louis XV), to have known Jesus in a previous life, to have seen God three times, to have been visited by extraterrestrials, to have murdered Tutankhamun and believed to be 75,000 years old. No wonder he remained unmarried. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am Marine ! no but the real thing is When you’re on a foreign site such as this one, it’s hard to be accostumed with another culture and way of Life and you have this kind of proudness for your own country and culture that you want to share. Not to talk about the fact that you’re the most able to relay your own countrie’s News and deaths 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,337 Posted February 3, 2023 I think Valentino is probably the one deadpoolers should keep in mind. Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein seem to be still full of zest for life and in decent fettle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,130 Posted February 4, 2023 19 hours ago, Ulitzer95 said: 21 hours ago, Toast said: My all-time favourite perfume was made by Paco Rabanne. Métal. Sadly long discontinued. You can still buy a bottle online for about £90. I know, there are still a few that have been hoarded away. I'm still eking out the last bottle I got on ebay. Just wish I could still go into a shop and buy some. It was never as well advertised as Calandre (which is still available). Métal was rarely on display. I remember looking for it in a Paris department store and thinking that they must have discontinued it. Luckily the sales lady asked if she could help me and I said oh, they don't make Métal any more, do they? To which she replied with an emphatic "Si !" and produced some out of a drawer. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I couldn't find any information on her in December, I dropped her in the DDP. The picture* makes me think it could be the right call, but she's coming up on three years since the diagnosis. She had chemotheraphy, but resection (resection = surgical removal) of the cancer gives the best outcomes - which I can't determine if she had. This matters, as the five year survival rate is zero for non-recected cases. Additionally, I can't determine what chemotheraphy agent was used, which would give some indication of the severity/progression. *Note the whites of her eyes - they are not jaundiced, which is a good sign 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
