this is mad

Born in 1896 and still going: meet the world's oldest man (probably)

Jaramillo was born in the town of Río Bueno, around 30 miles south of the regional capital of Valdivia. It was the year of the first modern Olympics, when Utah became the 45th US state, Victoria became Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and Ford produced its first motor vehicle.

Exact details about his youth are now hard to ascertain as communication with him is limited. All that’s known for certain is that he always found employment as an agricultural labourer, and for the past 30 years or so of his working life for a landowner called Ambrosio Toledo.

When Jaramillo turned 80, Don Ambrosio wished him well, patted him on the back and informed him he was being replaced by a younger field hand, and please could he vacate the estate house where he was living. The farmer had been paying Jaramillo’s contributions, so at least he had a small pension to live on.

He moved into the nearby coastal village of Mehuín, renting the ill-fated and rundown shack with a dirt floor and a fireplace in the middle, over which he would hang his fish to smoke (it was a loose ember from the fire that set the house alight). The local kids, now long grown up, remember him as an elf-like figure, due to his diminutive stature, always walking around the village with a sack slung over his shoulders. He supplemented his meagre pension growing vegetables and selling the surplus to the local shops.

HE'S SO OLD

PRIESTS cut one of their sets in the Hague short by two songs over a heckle from an audience member ("Play a song we can dance to"), that's a bit of a strong reaction.
 
That's completely hilarious and totally mental.

If his solution is to nationalise Google then i'm all for it.
