I've heard of him before, already mentionned him once or twice here in addition. But can't find any article or anything about him, where did you find the picture ? looks very well for his age btw

On LinkedIn. He is searching for a work as geezer.

 

Nah, some local historian interviewed him about his WW2 experience some months ago.

Still alive.

It's a case of homonymy.

Segre's carer also said that "he is fine and returned yesterday from the mountain."

In September he will be 105.

 

Bruno Segre, the dead one, is a journalist and essayist born in 1930. 

Bruno Segre dead for real at 105.

February 2024 is an interesting month for those who will turn 100. Many names mentioned quite often and few immortals or candidate immortals between them.

 

1)Omchery N N Pillai (1 February): who the fuck he is, but at least another Indian centenarian after they were cullen.

2)Vojo Stanic (3 Feb): chainsmonker Montenegro painter once suggested as an immortal.

3)Khamtai Siphandone (8 Feb): Laotian decomposing tyrant, certified Immortal and one of the biggest "How the fuck still alive?" out there

4)Charles Coste (8 Feb): French prominent cyclist who has already been the subject of a deth hoax.

5)Wu Chengzhang (8 Feb): Chinese survivor of 1948 Olympic games, seems to be a good shot at immortality

6)Woody Woodbury (9 Feb): American comedian, WW2 veteran

7)JP Enrile (14 Feb): Here he is! Certified immortal and widely believed to be by the vast majority of Filipinos

8)The Earl of Elgin (17 Feb): Oldest peer, very overweight, why still alive?

9)Zheng Tuobin (24 Feb): Chinese minister with outrageous retirement benefit. Good shot at immortality once again.

Alexander McAllister (b 19 Dec 1920) is now the world's oldest living first class cricketer. A mere youngster comapred to Eileen Ash who will be 110 next month. 

Turns out Scotland's Alexander McAllister (wiki) was never the world's oldest living first class cricketer. He died off radar in Sunningdale, Berkshire on 29 January 2008, aged 87! 

Both Cricket Archived and the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians have updated their profiles for McAllister to reflect this, and his record is in the GRO Index.

The fact that McAllister is long dead means there are no known centenarian first class cricketers currently living – this is quite rare. William Faulkner (b. 1923, wiki) COULD still be alive, but there's no evidence. Arjunrao Bharbhare (b. Jul 1924, wiki), John Stenton (b. Oct 1924, wiki) and P. M. Anandan (b. Dec 1924, wiki) are the next three names on my "possibly living" list.

The oldest first class cricketer definitely still alive that I know of? Probably Basil Rigg (b. 1926, wiki).

Edith Ceccarelli, the oldest validated living person in the USA turned 116 last week.  She is also the second-oldest validated person in the world only behind Maria Branyas as well as one of three individuals born in 1908 still alive as of today.  I am VERY happy that we still have some individuals still alive who were born in the 1900s because that was the time before the model year concept for vehicles was invented.  I hope we still have a 1908-born individual alive by 2025, 2026, 2027, and maybe 2028 as well as have the first validated person on record to pass away at 120 or 121.  I also hope that we still have a 1900s-decade born individual (most likely 1909) alive by the early 2030s so that we can still have the oldest person in the world born in the 1900s decade in the 2030s as well as possibly have a new longest-lived validated person on record.
