~~Mental to think she would have been old enough to have some fleeting, early childhood memories of World War 1, to have have firmer adolescent memories of the War of Independence, and would have full grown adult memories of the Civil War. Banshees of Inisherin would have been a nostalgia flick for her.~~
EDIT: Fecked up my numbers entirely; she would have been old enough to have possible memories of the latter two and would have been alive during the first, but not remember it.
RIP Ruby. At least this bumps me a little closer to the top of the list.
Struck down in her prime
the good always die young
doesnt look a day over 85 in that picture
A tragedy
May she rest in peace
45 years on the OAP. She did well.
From spending time with internet curious elderly people in the 1990s I have a notion that industrial age education and social norms produce a more procedural and rigid way of thinking, so there is a “preindustrial consciousness”. Paradoxically its much better at adapting to new tech. So it doesn’t surprise me at all that she found what she chooses to listen to on YouTube. Unfortunately the last such people were born in rural areas around WWI. A great loss and there are very few like her in western Europe to learn from. When psychologists get round to it they will all be gone.
You only hear about the oldest person when they pass away. Might be nice to hear who the current eldest person is and get some of their stories.
Bless her – RIP 🪦 QUEEN
Gone too soon.
I read a joke where if you ever make to be the OLDEST PERSON in your country and they ask you that stupid question “Whats your secret?” say something stupid like “a small half guinness, mass and a daily bump of coke” 🙂
