Magere Hein 1,397 Posted January 15, 2013 The worlds oldest living politician Gerhard Helders has died at 107 http://en.wikipedia..../Gerard_Helders Now the waiting game starts. Will UK media pick up the story and give me my first ever Theme Team points? Damn, should have entered him. But I've had him in my personal top 50. It looks like you were quite right by not entering him. No obit yet. I'll keep looking for one, but I'm afraid he's List of the Lost material. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect Passing 277 Posted February 17, 2013 Just 13 left alive from the 19th century with the death of Terue Ashida http://z3.invisionfr...view=getnewpost We can read Wikipedia you know... Actually, I enjoyed the Guest's Victorian countdown... What odds would one receive on the chances of the last verified Victorian also been the last person still alive from the 19th century? 13 were born before 31/12/1899 & 14 were born before Queen Vic's death on 22/01/1901, all in with a chance of course.

Death Impends 7,361 Posted February 17, 2013 More often than not, when the oldest verified person dies there's at least one living person from either the same year of birth or the year after that (I just now checked every oldest living person starting with Jeanne Calment, and her and Sarah Knauss are the only ones from that time period who DON'T fit that criteria... and they're the two longest lived) so odds definitely favor those who exited the womb during the 20th century bar one of the 19th century folk becoming another Calment.

Guest Adrian Stanley Posted February 18, 2013 If Queen Elizabeth II is still alive in September 2015 she will break Queen Victoria's record as the longest reigning British monarch. If any Victorians are still alive at that point they will have to be 114 years and 8 months.old so it's just possible that a few Victorians might live to see Victoria's record broken.

I do not think QE II will abdicate because of the shadow that Edward VIII's abdication casts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
