Spent the end of his days in a home, stuck in a wheelchair. No matter how much money you make in life, we all get old.

Living alone makes me wonder what my final years/months will be like :Erm:

As the youngest sibling I could be the last to go?

My feelings now are I would not want to be in a home, but do we realise we are when it comes to it.

My eldest sister has just died in one, at least you are fed and watered but it it depressed me going into the place.

RIP, Richard Attenborough ... his brother, David - the great naturalist - is now the only survivor :cwm24: of three siblings, the youngest, John (an executive in the Motor Trade) being the first to die two years ago.

A decent innings for them all though. :smile:

I have a loose plan on this. If I'm knackered, no way do I want to be :censored: my pants in a nursing home watching others die.

I will spend my money on drugs, fags and alcohol and go out with a hooker banging my brains out while playing happiness is a warm gun :biggrin:

Oh, :iagree: ... ALL of them living well~beyond their biblically-"allotted span" - :olddude: 'Dickie' being almost 91!

And David, at 88, looks in fair shape for a good few years yet. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Darn good actor and director.

Folks like him will never be replaced.

I liked a lot of his movies and have them on an external drive.
A couple that really grab me and worth watching over again are Brighton Rock and Flight of the Phoenix. Plenty other great movies but these two stick in my mind for some reason.

RIP Richard Attenborough

RIP a very fine actor and director and not forgetting Life President of Chelsea FC.

Very difficult to choose a favourite as he starred in a few classics, but I did like his portrayal of Christie in 10 Rillington Place.
