Fair play to him for coming up with the most obscure combination of words.
Thinking outside the box has never been more cringe-worthy

The new bride is not that youthful!

Chubfuddler · 07/02/2012 09:42

She's more youthful than him, put it that way.

"Heather Mills earned every penny of her £24million settlement putting up with Macca."

Quite.

TheScarlettPimpernel · 07/02/2012 09:42

Isn't she like, fifty?

Middling, like

Although I imagine some bits of her face are rather younger

TroublesomeEx · 07/02/2012 09:42

Oh is she not! Haven't seen her - just knew she was younger!

Still it was the image that popped in. Macca pouting and kissing a peachy bare bottom!

Thanks for brightening up my morning Grin

Paul is my DP's favourite Beatle. I mean, really??? I always found him to be the uncoolest. Like an uncool dad before he actually was one.

YoureADaisyIfYouDo · 07/02/2012 09:45

This thread is hilarious. Especially Compost's 'The alternative interpretation - that 'kisses on the bottom' was Fab Macca Wacky Thumbsaloft's anal riming concept album was too awful to contemplate.' GrinThumbsaloft to that.

Heyyyho · 07/02/2012 09:46

He is a prize dick who borrowed a tenner from a student friend of mine at an event in rye and never paid it back.

I hate him for that

MadameOvary · 07/02/2012 09:48

Grin at stupid wobbly head

YoureADaisyIfYouDo · 07/02/2012 09:49

I've always been grateful to the Beatles though. Without them there'd be no Rutles to poke fun at them.

AnyFucker · 07/02/2012 09:55

I love The Beatles

It's just Sir Paul McCartney who gets on my tits

Winetimeisfinetime · 07/02/2012 09:55

I used to work for a firm that had dealings with him and allegedly when he came in to the office, everyone had to leave their desks and go stand in the basement and those that were too neccessary to do that, had to turn away so they didn't see him. I always thought it was more our wanky firm being ridiculous than him being a diva, but seeing what a twit he seems to be now, maybe not.

On the theme of people who borrow money before they get really famous and then never pay it back, William Dalrymple owes me £20 from 1990 (hence, about a million pounds in today's money) that his cameraman borrowed off me.

Mumleigh · 07/02/2012 10:18

I love Macca to bits but I listened to the album and didn't like it at all - just don't think the songs suit his voice. Still think he is the best live performer I've ever seen though.

SuePurblybilt · 07/02/2012 10:28

I want to love him. I love the Beatles. He was so pretty in his yoof. I like the vegetarian shizz.
But the ageing rocker/morphing into Sir Cliff thing is yuck and Kisses On the Bottom makes me think of a Pampers advert (also cringy).

Gah. I don't want to despise him but he's making it so hard

SarahDoctorIndyHouse · 07/02/2012 11:58

Yay Fats Domino Grin

But is no one other than me old enough to remember Alan 'Fluff' Freeman reading out letters and always finishing with 'Kisses on the bottom'.

And just to add to the prattling debate, yes Heather Mills may have been a gold digger (I dunno so much!) but I bet Macca wouldn't have been taken in if she had looked like me been older and fatter.

SarahDoctorIndyHouse · 07/02/2012 12:00

Line Runner I would be impressed, but who the frig is William Dalrymple?

Saxonne · 07/02/2012 12:15

Just recently he looks to me like Hayley from Corrie, do they share that wig???

Chubfuddler · 07/02/2012 12:21

I'm conflicted because out of Beatles songs, the ones I like best are the ones with Paul on lead vocals. I just pretend that Sir Paul McCartney is someone else entirely.

BupcakesandCunting · 07/02/2012 12:26

"He looks like he went to an unregistered plastic surgeon in Tiajuana and said "Make me look like Paul McCartney"."

Grin

And Grin at Hayley Cropper's wig.

Aww, I like Sir Paul. He seems really sweet. I never knew he had such a bad public image until I joined MN. My first ever record that I bought with my own pocket money was Paul McCartney and The Frog Chorus "We All Stand Together", so he will always have a place in my heart.

VivaLeBeaver · 07/02/2012 12:31

My tutor at uni had been George harrisons PA in the 60s. He said Macca was a total wanker.

stubbornstains · 07/02/2012 12:33

Oh, it's just sex- obsessed, old man "funny punster" drivel. Probably exacerbated by being so rich and famous that no-one dared tell him it was a deeply naff idea for a title.

I don't think it's a very good album, from what I've heard, but OTOH compared to Ringo Starr's latest output it sounds like a work of towering genius.

Chubfuddler · 07/02/2012 12:43

Hey. Lay off Ringo.

(peace and love peace and love)
