Ever met a 100 year old person ?

[the coming of gary]

Any memorable comments from them ?

I just read that President Jimmy Carter is 100 today

No England footballer has ever reached 100 (out of 1,285 total)
,
 

[norwaytips]

Several. I had two aunts, who lived to see 100. I also work a lot for a charity, entertaining  in residential care homes, so I see good number, who have reached the ton. 
best one though, is father of a good friend. Now 103, Bill regularly travels alone to visit his son in France and still performs at folk clubs and open mic events. Oh, he’s a Southampton fan, but he can’t help that.

The only one I knew was German and had had an 'interesting' past. He was still living independently and walking to the shops a fortnight before his death at the age of 102 but had he fallen into certain hands at the end of the war he would not have seen his 25th birthday. If his story is to be believed and I have no reason to doubt it, he had been a radio operator at the Wolfsschanze, who at the end of the war made his way west and had to 'disappear' for a while. He was highly intelligent and kept himself fit and healthy into his old age. Somewhat against what you might expect, he was polite, caring and helpful, he looked after his aged wife in her illness until she passed away, and also helped hisTurkish immigrant neighbour out by being a bit of a father figure to her children when they went through adolescence. For those who are unable to think outside of generalisations and stereotypes feel free to fire away and take the piss, but I think it's an example of how people are moulded by the environment they find themselves in.

Yep, my Nan, she made it to 100 in 2006, then died 6 weeks later, she was waiting for the card from the Queen and her party. 

She loved West Ham, Racing, and bashing the wrestlers down at York Hall with her handbag. They don't make people like that anymore.

Harder than these effeminate  gym poofs  today.
they were double hard.
 Decide to take a day off with the flu and a raging temperature?...think again.

 08:00hrs...   knock- knock ​​​​​​​" Why aren't you at work"..?
"I feel like shit nan..my temperature is through the roof and I'm  shakin  stevens."

11.00hrs... no knock this time ( the knock knock was your warning)..
"you getting up "..?...
  "Errrrhhh ..I fink I'm dying nan"

1400hrs: 
You vow never to go sick again.

I've not but then I've never been to a WHOer's drinks gathering, surely Far Cough is 100 by now? 

[Far Cough UKunt]

Reminds me of the classic:

"So how did you know that your wife was dead?" 

"Well the sex was the same but the dishes were piling up".

[Full Rug]

Never. Who would be closest on WHU?
Cough?
Eerie?

It's WHO, you senile old cսnt.

Texas Iron has known and loved a few 100 year olds, not all of them were still breathing mind you…,,,,,

I can't vouch for her noshing habits.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

A few years ago, we had a centenarian supporter called Mabel who came to games with her family. Once outside the ground, she and I made eye contact and smiled to each other. I think that was the nearest I have come (to a centenarian, not to a woman..).

Which Mabel you on about.?
The one I knew loved a nosh up

I'm 82...83 on November 9th

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Yea known a few over the yrs...they all said the same thing when the inevitable lame question that only cunts like myself can ask..."what you're secret" ..?
 
"be fucked if I know" was the general theme.

My dear old Nan lived to 96 yrs ...her diet left a lot to be desired by these so-called experts these days.
She used LARD  all her life...piled on the double - top (gold) on her Rice Krispies in her last yrs...and had seconds.
Fit as a fiddle physically  , it was dementia that ultimately defeated her.
She didn't deserve that .
I was ignorant about ​​​​​​dementia and it's cruelty.
I'm not anymore.
I don't think I'll ever get over seeing how it destroyed such a grand woman , I'm not ashamed to say it broke my heart

joyo once again revealing hie is shit scared about reaching maturity and living a long & active life.

Pulled that tranny that sits next to you at football yet? He/she might even chop one of his/her legs off, just so you can dream about your good old days again.

[One Sunny Day]

Back in the 90s, mate of mine in Norfolk used to have a 100 year old woman living next door. Used to see her digging her garden too. She was a massive psycho. Once she had to get kicked out of a church nearby for chucking chairs around, in the service and yelling that they were all devil worshippers. Was something quite unsettling about her.

She must really hate him.

Kirk Douglas hung in there
Makes me feel old when you realise his son Michael is very old too
Read that he turned 80 lately & his wife Catherine Zeta Jones arranged for Bono to sing at him

[Far Cough UKunt]

Henry Kissinger, was as old as the hills when he died.

[WHU(Exeter)]

The original Cheeta from the Tarzan films would be still alive, (and painting), and well past 100 by now.

until the story that he was still alive, the oldest chimp living and had even appeared in Dr Dolittle, in between his painting, was totally debunked.

By dream shattering cunts

I understand that he is hanging on in there so he can vote in November.

[WHU(Exeter)]

I was always surprised at how old Kirk Douglas was, still going over 100 and when he died, how he'd outlived all his peers in films by years. None of them alive anymore.

came as a shock when someone pointed out to me that Olivia De whatsherface was still alive and older than Kirk himself.

I never got to meet either in real life sadly.
