Plucky Clara Meadmore celebrates turning 105 today, proud to still be a virgin.

The spinster decided as a child she would never wed or have sex - and insists she has never missed it.

She said: "I've just never been interested in or fancied having sex. I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things.

"I made my mind up at 12 never to marry and I've not gone back on that."

Clara, born in 1903, instead spent her youth in Egypt, Canada and New Zealand before coming home in her 20s to become a secretary.

She added: "I grew up in an era where little girls were to be seen and not heard, so I had to stand up for myself and earn a living.

"Some men don't like that and before long I was too old to marry anyway."

But the OAP says she turned down several suitors.

She added: "I've never had a boyfriend or been bothered about relationships.

"When I was a girl you had sex only with your husband.

"I've had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further." Clara now lives in a nursing home in Perranporth, Cornwall, and spends most of her time glued to Radio 4.

Best pal Josie Harvey, 72, who visits daily, said: "You're as young as you feel. Clara is by no means 105 in many ways.

"Maybe never having a man under her feet has kept her young all these years."

Clara will mark her birthday a day late with a glass of wine on Saturday.

And she pointed out: "I'm hardly likely to get drunk and do something silly at my age."

I've never had sex. I imagine there's a lot of hassle involved.:unsure::

Yeah, I agree. Congratulations to her.

I agree as well. If that is how she feels, who are we to question her? Sometimes, not having sex doesn't you're inferior to anyone, you've just made a different choice compared to others.

its her loss:)

It seems some women are not born as mothers.

Just because she's never had sex, doesn't mean she hasn't been a mother. She could have adopted a child you know. :)

I bet she is dog ugly.

She's 105, I don't care how she looks. I hope I can live as long as her.

Good lord...obsess much? Who ever's rig that is spent a lot (and they best game they can find to play it WoW? Wow indeed...lol :D).

To the topic at hand, I can respect such a commitment, even if its something I wouldn't (and haven't) made myself. All I can say is I hope I see 100 or more...but only if I'm in decent enough shape to enjoy it. :D

      2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
