00:00 Why do you think you've lived so long?
00:03 I've no idea, love. No idea.
00:06 Have you any idea?
00:09 Lots of people loving you, is that it?
00:11 Lots of people looking after you.
00:13 People loving... It is. It's people loving me.
00:17 And you had lots of birthday cakes as well, didn't you?
00:20 Yes, I did.
00:22 I only had one piece.
00:24 Did you?
00:25 I don't want any more.
00:27 I'll tell you what you can do at 106. You can still recite the poems that you wrote when you were 11.
00:34 What about the French exam poem?
00:36 Oh yes. Why, do you want to hear it?
00:39 Go on then.
00:41 I've finished questions one and two and found them not too hard to do.
00:48 But when it came to question three, I lost the darn things to me.
00:52 Oh dear, what is the French for?
00:55 I put down earth, then earth he said, for that is when the cow is dead.
01:00 I see a trunk car far away. I wish it was Saturday.
01:06 There were trunks in those days and they ran across my horizon.
01:13 Is that the one from school? Is that the one you wrote at school?
01:17 Yes.
