come along dear

Scroll down and there's a photo of him and his lovely wife Nancy. Macca has always looked ridiculous in photos except when he was young and dishy but he looks like he's soiled himself in this one. Nancy looks like his carer who's trying to coax him to walk a bit further so they can go home and clean him up Grin Very fetching yellow tracksuit too Macca Hmm
If he was my dad I would never lift my head out of my hands

I don't know how to describe <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=macca&hl=en&sa=X&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:%7Breferrer:source%3F%7D&rlz=1I7DSGJ_enGB389&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=iN8mglq3rPhZEM:&imgrefurl=web.mac.com/paul_mccartney/macca_report_news/latest.htm&docid=4K9r0O9pRyQiMM&imgurl=web.mac.com/paul_mccartney/macca_report_news/Grammys_Macca1.jpg&w=431&h=594&ei=ceE7T_2kKMKr0QWK64Ft&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=327&vpy=268&dur=3094&hovh=264&hovw=191&tx=86&ty=215&sig=113902974186322993665&page=3&tbnh=143&tbnw=104&start=47&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:47" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this, but I'm doing it.

wildfig · 15/02/2012 16:50

I believe that's 'showbiz fingers'.

wildfig · 15/02/2012 16:50

A near relation of 'jazz hands', obv.

sassyTHEFIRST · 15/02/2012 16:51

Lol at pic. He properly isn't photogenic is he. (Me neither, truth be told)

Diffident, I'm-just-an-ordinary-bloke-from-Liverpool-shrug.

ShirleyO · 15/02/2012 16:51

Pistol fingers you trwats

Popbiscuit · 15/02/2012 16:55

Awwww!

I like his pristine remedial sneakers.

NorthernWreck · 15/02/2012 16:55

Well excuuuuse me OurPlanetNeptune.
Good for Nancy and long may she prosper.
I was merely trying to find a reason for something I can't understand.
Ringo, maybe, but Macca?

SuePurblybilt · 15/02/2012 16:56

Arf at ShirleyO. Yes, we're the twats.

wildfig · 15/02/2012 17:01

I thought pistol fingers was when you held up two horizontal fingers parallel and did shooty-shooty gestures, in manner of northern club comic delivering crap punchline? Confused

Fab Macca WTA is doing an '... and that's JAZZ' thing there. He might even be giving it the old razzle dazzle too.

(I love Sir Thumbs a Loft. He was my first celeb crush. But only in black and white.)

sassyTHEFIRST · 15/02/2012 17:02

I'm preferring Showbiz fingers to Pistol fingers.

Surely he has just played an imaginary drum roll finishing with a crash on the HiHat with those bad boys.

lostboysfallin · 15/02/2012 17:02

Yes yabu
All of you
They've obviously been to the gym
He's a nice guy, he's ageing, leave him alone

SuePurblybilt · 15/02/2012 17:03

I think he's pointing and doing the 'no you're amazing. No you'.
If he was doing pistol fingers, he'd be blowing smoke off one of them. For sure.

BupcakesandCunting · 15/02/2012 17:05

Awww leave Sur Macca alone. Angry

He looks like a lovely sundried chipmonk. :(

PeneloPeePitstop · 15/02/2012 17:05

That is a really unfortunate photograph Grin

GetOrfMoiiLand · 15/02/2012 17:09

Fuck me you can have a row about ANYTHING on mumsnet these days.

The fact that Nancy Shev is rich from being Chairman of monster trucks inc, sticky out hips bones, finger gestures...

The list is endless.

BupcakesandCunting · 15/02/2012 17:10

|Pretty sure that Heather Mills has got teeth in her vagina too.

wildfig · 15/02/2012 17:11

To be fair to Sir Thumbs though, he has been photographed almost constantly since 1962. That's fifty years of having to pull a photoface at any moment of the day. Muscle memory must take over at some stage, whether you like it or not. My mum has a similar photoface and now she can't see a camera without automatically whipping off her glasses and hiding them behind her back.

That doesn't excuse the tracksuit top, though. It's definitely tipping over into Jim'll territory. Would Bryan Ferry wear a shell suit? I think hope not.

SuePurblybilt · 15/02/2012 17:11

This is the full range of pics here

I defy anyone to look at the third one without saying Ooof in sympathy. Maybe a hand to the twinging lower back.

sassyTHEFIRST · 15/02/2012 17:12

Oi getorf, how long have you had an extra i for? One i not good enough these days, eh? Eh?

lucjam · 15/02/2012 17:14

That's hysterical, love your description which I read prior to opening photo so had a mental image already but the photo was even better! Not a macca fan at all. I don't mind Heather too much, a friend used to work for her and really liked her although they did fall out in the end, she seems to fall out with a lot of people. However I've not forgiven her yet for turning the cafe in the park into a VEGAN cafe where we have to have tea with soya milk in blurgh and yuck, don't go to that park as much now.

BupcakesandCunting · 15/02/2012 17:15

If you look at the picture where Thumbs Aloft is bending to place the bunch of bedraggled roses down, his hair looks like it's been coiffured by Gloria Hunniford's hairdresser. Proper womans blow dry, that.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 15/02/2012 17:15

lol at sassy.

You

AHTSIDE

NAAAAH

SuePurblybilt · 15/02/2012 17:16

Bouffantastic

GetOrfMoiiLand · 15/02/2012 17:17

Who started calling him THumbs Aloft.

It was you wasn't it buppy.

I love the fact that on MN we can slag off national treasures.

Right, who wants to start having a pop at those bastards David Attenborough and Judi Dench?

2BoysTooLoud · 15/02/2012 17:18

ooh err ourplanet. No I am not in the least overweight- far from it. Just thought she might cut Macca with those hips- concerned!!
