Damn, and I was expecting Taw to say "I'm older than that!" .

Good on her, but she would look much better is she'd had a glass of ginger beer every day for the past 100 years .

They say that if disease and the fact that the body turns on itself every so often weren't factors, humans would live to about 150 normally.

@taw prefer not to on TLR...I'm not a fan of moaning at the world.

Man, that lady is... um...
114 / 15 = 7.6

Wow! She's 7.6 times older than me. Man, lifes got to get boring after a while huh

8.1 for me...

No, wait, 7.92 to be exact, if you count closer to my exact age....

Word to the young'uns here. By the time you boys and girls(?) get to retirement age, your life expectancy may make 114 seem to be a tad "early."

So don't get too smug about your youth, you may end up with having to deal with a kind of "old" age that us older fogeys won't have to worry about.

lol. better get that pension account opened boys

weird though when you think about your own life in comparison to hers. she's lived almost 4 of my lifetimes. Thats odd.

she has more right than anyone to say ' back in my day, all this were fields' , cos it most likely was

or the British post-industrial version, "back in mar day, all this were factories.."

..She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love...

lol.

seriously though, I can't imagine what it must be like to have seen in your lifetime, the birth of modern photography, progressing into moving picture, then onto 3D cinema, CGI actors and home movie creation. That must be odd. Not even thinking about how the microchip changed the 20th century.

After doing a little research on her favorite soccer club, I came to find out that she witnessed the Birth of it. she was 10 years old when that club was founded in 1902 I believe. but she truely is an amazing woman, if you could hear her speak as I have (over the telly) you could hear how much spirit she has, she may be 114 years "young" but she has spirit enough to go on to reach the point where she could easily beat that french lady who went to 122.

Edit: was a bit wrong with the dates, the official club was founded april 8th 1900.
so she was 10 years old when the club was founded, still it's an amazing thing, and I don't think many people can say they witnessed their favorite soccer club start from the beginning

@Grom....

The birth of modern photoraphy? When would that be

about...1890 or so methinks

well strictly speaking they've traced photography back to De Vinci (no surprises there), but I was classing the "birth of modern photography" as being when the first celluloid box camera was produced. There were many different methods before that, but celluloid as I'm sure you know, laid the path for the future - and that camera was produced in about 1888/90. So yep, strictly speaking, as she was growing up she would have been the first generation to have seen photography slowly moving from the rich, to the every day joe public.
