John Humphries looks as old as the hills..

Sometimes when you haven't seen a pic of someone for a while it takes you aback when you see that the years have taken their toll. JH (of Today fame - a well respected BBC radio news show) is doing some stuff in China and his pic appeared on the BBC web site. This is it. :o

Dunno about that. I wouldn't have said he looks more than 67. Bit less if anything.
Is he older than Keith Richards?

I have bags under my eyes like that, so did my dad...

Slowly, one simply starts falling to bits...

I think Rum's point is the apparent suddenness of the change in appearance.

"Apparent" is the key, I do agree...

I am tending to dwell morbidly on mortality, these days, especially in the wee small hours...
