Who were you surprised to learn was NOT dead

nbt · 2022-08-19T10:13:15Z

Yesterday on Twitter, I was directed toward a thread asking if anyone remembered a TV programme called Eurotrash, as the OPs wife was convinced he was making it up "Of course I remember it," said I, "featuring the late great Jean Paul Gaultier and the very much stll alive and working Antoine de Caunes", linking to a youtube video of Eurotrash highlights and tagging Monsieur de Caunes, who I follow. I was swiftly corrected on this by a few people including forum hero @Pook as they pointed out that Jean Paul Gaultier was ALSO still very much alive and working. I was MORITIFED (I was still chuffed to bits though that Antoine de Caunes liked my tweet, I was squealing like a fangirl). Honestly, I was CERTAIN he was dead. No, I didn't confuse him with Karl Lagerfeld or Alexander McQueen, I just knew for certain that he'd died. Except he hadn't. Who were you convinced was dead until you were shown quite positive proof to the contrary?

Crikey who knew Leslie Philips was still around recently?

98 - that's a good innings

I think it's because he actually looked old back in his hayday.

I was looking for this thread to say exactly that, but as always the search failed to find anything useful

The Queen Mum. I saw her in the TV section of John Lewis last week, watching the horse racing.
