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

So if we all dislike him this much, how much must we dislike Heather?

If he had devoted himself to gardening and bird watching after Linda's death we would all have approved. He could have been to pop what Charles is to the Royal Family.

Maybe he is. - I'm liking my analogy. I will now go away and figure out who is The Queen. Elton?

Think Henry VIII.

He thought he was a bit of a composer and laydeez man, too. Kids everywhere. Wives in various states of D-B-D. Fallen out with most of his mates, those that hadn't died that is. Vainglorious, and a fool to himself. Coffers full of gold.

Has anyone read the conspiracy theory that Paul died and was replaced by a look-a-like, just when the Beatles were becoming popular? Was a new one on me and provided a couple of hours of quality entertainment reading the very very long thread Grin.

Don't like that title at all,though I know it's from a song. But I love him to distraction!and refuse to believe any "alleged" tales of him being in any way diva-ish. Seen him in concert and know people who've met him and he's still a Northern lad at heart and still a charmer...

Cannot stand him. He is responsible for possibly the worst song ever, 'A Wonderful Christmas Time'. It was playing in a restaurant loudly just before Christmas, until a member of staff turned it off, to a huge round of applause from everyone.

ComposHat · 08/02/2012 01:34

Yep the 'Paul is dead conspiracy' he died in a car crash and was replaced by a lookalike called Billy Shears, there are supposedly clues on later Beatles albums. Obviously a load of bollocks, but entertaining none the less.

I can't be arsed with going into details, but there is a Wikipedia page on the conspiracy theory

I would rather just remember him as a mulletted hippy, eating veggie sausages and living in a farm house in Scotland somewhere. What a prat he turned into. Shame John Lennon is not around to rip him to shreds over this.

God having seen the advert I am now actually angry with him for thinking he is cool. What is that all about. The mouth is ridiculous, he looks like a spitting image puppet of himself.

redrubyshoes · 08/02/2012 11:43

I remember the track Honey Pie from the White album. he was doing the 'old' stuff even then.

And even then it was crap.

LineRunner · 08/02/2012 11:56

On the whole, I'd rather listen to and look at Dennis Waterman.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 08/02/2012 12:07

Dennis Waterman - arf!

I prefer his daughter to Macca's, too. I've heard (through a friend of a friend of a SIL) that Stella's not very nice, and is actually a bit rubbish at fashion designing (or rather was, she might be quite good now. I know fuck all tbh).

Yep, the Theme from Minder is right up there with Eleanor Rigby.

redrubyshoes · 08/02/2012 12:24

I think David Bowie is ten times better and more innovative than both Lennon and McCartney put together.

ComposHat · 08/02/2012 12:25

Made me laugh, especially when Macca`was eating his fry-up

Chubfuddler · 08/02/2012 12:27

"write the theme tune, sing the theme tune"

LineRunner · 08/02/2012 13:28

I didn't say it was a particular sane preference.

But at least Waterman can laugh at himself.

LineRunner · 08/02/2012 13:28

particularly sane.

Sorry.

Adverb crisis.

I love the Beatles and have done for over 20 years. PM can appear affected but is absolutely amazing live (seen him 3 times...Mull of kintyre at Hampden park...magic!).
George Harrison was definately the best Beatle though..that's where my user name comes from.

Breitling · 08/02/2012 22:12

well this thread has brought tears of laughter to my eyes. Oh god the advert, and the poster who said he couldn't hit the high notes but would hide it by wobbling his head and lookng surprised.
And the links to the pics of him
and the poster who said about hayley from corrie
and the un registerd plastic surgeon
and the thumbsaloft and that is just a few posts.

this should go in classics. Best thread i have read in ages on mn. loving every min.
