    6I laughed so hard, I almost choked on my beer watching this last night on the Late Late show.

    Fair play to your man, if I ever reach 100, I'd be happy enough if I was as fresh as this man.

    Enjoy.

    This link will take you direct to the 100 year old appearance.

    Basically listen to the old dudes answer when cliff tells him he looks like he could play tennis. :)

    You went looking for something sensational and what you got was a real Irish answer from an old man.

    The world must be an awful disappointment for you.

    He'd pass for early 70's imo, barely a wrinkle on his face :eek:

    I'd be very happy if I look like that at 100. He looks about 30 years younger
    It's amazing to think that he was 26 when WW2 started.

    But I heard it was the best answer ever?

    Some theories you're coming up with there, keep going!

    Planting potatoes is a euphemism for having your spuds drained by Twink.

    That man does NOT look 100! Amazing, and glad to see he still seems to have joie de vivre :)

    Followed by in brackets, (given by a 100 year old man)

    If you've better retorts given by Irish 100 year old men, throw them up.

    I for one thought it was a quick witted reply, answered in an Irish fashion that he'd sooner plant his spuds.

    But the fact he's one hundred years old was the cherry on the cake.

    What's not "to get" :confused:

    I thought he was actually been genuine in saying he would prefer it, not been sarcastic!?

    Now if he was been sarcastic and extracting the urine from cliff, then yes what a man.
