In Rikers Island, sharing a cell with a muscular, tattooed, lonely, skinhead called Bubba, hopefully.

Somehow, it's slipped the attention of NSC that the aforementioned Gertrude Weaver, newly crowned oldest person on Earth, died on Monday, a mere six days after being crowned Queen of the Pensioners. Gutted. A 115 year old lady in Detroit now holds the title. She's probably feeling a bit nervous.

Only four people (verified) left on earth who were born in the 19th Century: three Americans and an Italian. Only two out of the top 50 oldest living people on the planet are men. Oldest now is Gertrude Weaver, aged 116 years and 271 days, born 4th July 1898. Imagine what she's seen in life :ohmy:

She hasn't been the oldest for that long, has she? I guess that's an occupational hazard when you're a professional ager.

I doubt anybody picked Deirdre, unless they were glued to the latest Coronation Street gossip. I had no idea she'd even left Corrie. Last time I watched it, Ken had just returned from- ahem- an "extended visit to his sister in Canada" and she was there to welcome him home.

Good thread. Of the official list, I'll take punts on George Bush (Snr, though Jnr would be fine too), Doris Day (I thought she died years ago) and Cliff Michelmore.
