MrWonderful 480 Posted December 24, 2023 17 hours ago, Deathrow66 said: He was quite big bulk on the 50th anniversary How is he so slim and. Frail I haven't looked him up at all and on this side of the Atlantic (hell, I'm near the Pacific, ha), I have no idea who this dude is. (OK, I looked him up and I see what he's famous for now, got it.) In looking at him, yes, he looks extremely frail and thin, as he is wearing multiple layers of clothing in almost all of the shots I see on this page, yet the clothes are draping him and look loose. He looks like skin and bones. Having said that, he can apparently still stand, as seen in that birthday message on Twitter, so that's a good sign, I suppose. But I don't think we have to worry about Jimmy Carter territory here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,045 Posted December 24, 2023 He’s thin Alright but I don’t think he looks bad at all. Stand still can talk properly and have some humour left. His skin is the good carnation and everything. Just look old but that’s all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted April 15 Posting this as it popped up on Facebook. If I'm right, that's this Saturday's Times under his arm, so would back up the "very recent pic" description. Still walking to the shop, not sure he's changed much since the last pics? He sure likes that red waistcoat! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smith is more likely to be a Times man. C Baker is known to read the Daily Mail. The youngest ones probably don't read newspapers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't have that reputation of the NYT, a similar paper of record, in regards to political tilt... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
