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 was in shock/awe confusion thsi morning when reading the Metro, and I found out that ENGELBERT HUMPERDINK has slept with over 3,000 women. Yes, more than 3,000 women actually desired old Engelbert in a sexual manner. I'm still getting my head around Mick Hucknall having all that sex, but Engelbert as well?

True story, I think that Benedict Cumberbatch was one of the fake Engelbert Humperdink names that Eddie Izzard uses in his sketch about him. How disappointed was I when I found out it wasn't

Engelbert Crumpledick looks like Fred West.

I remember a picture of Mick Hucknall in a Nike t-shirt with the slogan 'Just Do It'.

I suppose it cut out the need for small talk on dates.

smirks at the irony of just how many MNetters go off their tits at women being objectified and complain about how they are judged for their weight or what they are wearing

But its ok if its Macca. Cos yeah he's filthy rich, old, male, and of course he deserves it for marrying Ms Off Her Rocker Mills. And it's funny cos he looks like he's in need of a carer and does the peace sign a lot...

FWIW I actually I do think the photos are funny. But I think the MN hypocrisy is way funnier...

BupcakesandCunting · 16/02/2012 10:46
Confused

Why don't you go and look up some of the other threads where we've been rude about women celebs?

We are equal opportunity bitches, you know?

Smithsville · 16/02/2012 10:57

Oh i saw and noted the comments about Nancy hips... They were quite special.

Really though, if you are going to howl at laughter at celebs, really don't complain when the media reflects it back at you with unrealistic and unachievable images of women (and men).

The photos are funny. But I do pity the poor bloke for being ridiculed for being himself and having a bit of an off day. He's 69. For his age, he's not doing terrible in the badly dressed category IMHO. Put it into context of how embarrassing your Dad is. Can't speak for anyone else, but he compares well on that score for me!

Just food for thought....

BupcakesandCunting · 16/02/2012 10:59

My dad looks fucking ace.

HTH.

2BoysTooLoud · 16/02/2012 11:03

Jesus- how many more times am I going to get told off about the skinny hip comment pages back....
A throw away comment I thought... Oh well I'll begone with my unacceptable comments!

AbsofCroissant · 16/02/2012 11:07

limitedperiodonly is my new comedy hero Grin

NorthernWreck · 16/02/2012 11:17

Sue, I once followed Da Boss round a US department store.
He bought some diamond earrings.For his wife. (The saleslady told me after).
I didn't follow him out of the store. That would have been stalking.

KurriKurri · 16/02/2012 11:21

I am no fan of Macca - as evidenced on the other thread about him - but my quarrel is largely with his so called 'talent'. The fact that he wore a track sit, didn't dress up and controlled his peace sign urges, when laying his flowers, is in his favour IMO.

Have no opinions on his wife - she looks fine to me.

Have hooted loudly over the showbiz fingers photo - does he never look at these pictures and think 'note to self........'

limitedperiodonly · 16/02/2012 12:16

I don't cope well under pressure, but thank you anyway abs

SuePurblybilt · 16/02/2012 13:06

Northern, yes. That would have been wrong. Licking his neck would apparently be crossing some line or other too. Who knew?

Is the unrealistic media portrayal of women all the fault of half a dozen mners who bitch at slebs? Goodness. I feel all guilty and responsible and shit.
Oh wait. I don't.

JosieRosie · 16/02/2012 13:06

Not gay at all then, Craig? Grin Grin

Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie are well foxy IMVHO

'Engelbert Crumpledick looks like Fred West'

Christ on a bike Bupcakes! I'm still trying to get over that Fred West drama that was on ITV 6 months ago (and that freaked me out so much I go no sleep after watching the 2nd episode) - you've proper gone and triggered my panic attacks again! Grin

NorthernWreck · 16/02/2012 16:52

Pesky stalking laws Sue. It's political correctness gorn maaad.

SuePurblybilt · 16/02/2012 18:41

Innit though? So unfair.

drywhite, what am I supposed to have done/be doing? Confused

KatieScarlett2833 · 16/02/2012 18:54

Sue I love you. I have had a shit day and am now PMSL. DH thinks it may be "womens troubles" that are causing my mood swings, but since I can't mention your name here anymore, I just had to nod sagely...

Grin

BTW Sir Paul, my 15 year old DS has similar leisure wear and looks shit in them too. If a lovely young man in his almost prime cannot carry off the trackies, you have no hope.

Mick Hucknall is Satan in a curly wig. I can't look at a picture of him without having to cross myself and say a hail mary - and I'm not even Catholic.

cocolepew · 16/02/2012 18:54

Leave Englebert alone!!!!!!!!!

cocolepew · 16/02/2012 18:56

You know what's bad? It's just been on our local news about a Daniel O'Donnelll visitors center that's opening.

Mrs Maccas boobs don't look real.

SuePurblybilt · 16/02/2012 19:01

Can't mention my name? WTF have I done to your DP? He's not Macca, is he?

KatieScarlett2833 · 16/02/2012 19:04

I blamed you for my own wickedness Sue

Sad
