I don't get why d000hg imagined that I might be first to post any link relating to some ancient penguin shuffling off her mortal coils!!

It would be a major novelty if he ever did (or provided any entertainment come to that).

It was a more innocent time, when clergy could offer sweets to children without being accused of slipping them a Finger of Fudge.

A time when boys wanted enter the priesthood, rather than the other way round....

Beating Shaun to it...

BBC News - Oldest person Eugenie Blanchard dies at age of 114

French nun Eugenie Blanchard, certified as the world's oldest person, has died at the age of 114 on the French Caribbean island of Saint-Barthelemy.

On Saint-Barthelemy, she was known for giving out sweets to children.

she acquired the nickname La Douchy - a Dutch Creole word for sweets - from the tactic she used to draw children into Bible readings.

"She would offer the children sweets, saying 'douchy, douchy', and the name stuck," nephew Daniel Blanchard said.

It was a more innocent time, when clergy could offer sweets to children without being accused of slipping them a Finger of Fudge.
