Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) R.I.P http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21973505
But it was his role as the predatory Uncle Monty in Withnail And I - which has become of one of the biggest cult classics in British cinema history - which made him a fan favourite.

In a message to his co-star on Twitter, the actor Richard E. Grant said: "My beloved Uncle Monty Richard Griffiths died last night. Chin-Chin my dear friend.

I saw Tony play many times and just missed out on the Charlton era I think. I remember him playing for Leyton Orient, Brighton and WBA. Not sure what happened to him after that. A red headed midfielder. Every team needs one. Sad to hear the news.

Nope, ever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_men).

Just not the oldest person ever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_people).

That last list shows there are just (still?) two people alive from the 19th century.

Taking the safe middle ground between yourself and Osarusan, BS. The Beeb reports him as the oldest recorded man in history. So you can both be right.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22851848

I can't imagine what 116 years must feel like, the sense of being present before any other living memory, of being unending, of the slow, interminable decline as the modern world catches up and, finally, overtakes you. A bit like Trap's reign, I guess...
