I think that Paul McCartney is a nice bloke and I really like him.

AIBU?

(I honestly think this. I wish he wouldn't dye his hair that awful Autumn Russet shade and I wish he'd stop doing Hey Jude all over the gaff, but he's a nice man)

can't say really as don't know him. do you?

CocacolaMum · 03/10/2013 14:36

Never met the bloke and since I thought Rolf Harris was a nice bloke I am probably not the best to ask!?

Mintyy · 03/10/2013 14:36

Oh. my. God!

Have you heard his latest single?

It makes me quite literally want to scream. Or vomit on the floor. Or cut my own ears off in despair.

Madamecastafiore · 03/10/2013 14:37

I think he is a complete twat.

Hate old people trying to look young when they just look utterly wanky,

Don't think the Beatles were that great either.

Clawdy · 03/10/2013 14:38

I don't like him - I love him,and have done for years! But not a good thing to say that on here...I daren't read the rest of the thread....

BlatantRedhead · 03/10/2013 14:39

The Beatles were great. Paul McCartney is a nobber

Clawdy · 03/10/2013 14:39

And last time I said that people on here kept calling me Stella.....Smile

reelingintheyears · 03/10/2013 14:40

I think you'll be perving over Cliff next.

Lj8893 · 03/10/2013 14:40

Can't comment on him as a bloke.

But I saw him live at glastonbury several years ago and he blew me away, he was absolutely amazing!

I'm 25 and at the time didn't really have an opinion of the Beatles but watching him live inspired my love for the Beatles! I've since been to Liverpool and done all the Beatles tourist stuff haha!

QuintessentialShadows · 03/10/2013 14:40

Yabu.

You need a serious dose of That is inspired.

Note the "and buttocks like he was 18" line He is seriously working it on the motorbike.

Pancakeflipper · 03/10/2013 14:42

I liked him but think he's trying too hard now in an embarrassing grandad kinda way.

And I don't like it when he dyes his hair.
And I don't like his latest music but I am probably not his target audience.

shirley122 · 03/10/2013 14:43

Love the beatles have done for years saw him in cardiff very good but think he should retire with grace now think his voice has gone where as tom jones glenn tilbrooks voices still amazing

LazyGaga · 03/10/2013 14:43
Shock

Is this going to spew forth an outpouring of affection for previous MN hate figures?

Will there be a Peter Andre appreciation thread next?

FWIW I love The Beatles and don't mind Macca in the slightest.

QuintessentialShadows · 03/10/2013 14:48

Guys, instead of pointing out who you hate, spread the love!

Find something new to LURVE. Like what I gave you below....

Grin
Beastofburden · 03/10/2013 14:52

I just wish he could still sing. Time to retire, Macca.

But yes, I think he has lived a good life and I do like his music.

MarmaladeTwatkins · 03/10/2013 14:53

"can't say really as don't know him. do you?"

Yes I do know him. I am Heather Mills.

He's mothafuckin' MAROON! YABU.

HaroldLloyd · 03/10/2013 14:56

I think I agree. He's alright.

He's also got nice crinkly eyes.

There are far worse about.

FriskyHenderson · 03/10/2013 14:58

He's alright as long as he keeps his hands in his pockets, his mouth shut and his hat on.

HoneyDragon · 03/10/2013 14:58

YABACB*

*You are being a complete Bastard

LazyGaga · 03/10/2013 14:59

Grin if you were Heather Mills posting about PM the bile would be oozing out of the screen.

MinesAPintOfTea · 03/10/2013 15:00

YABU

He has been past it for as long as I've been concious of music and Lennon died well before I was born

Plus when I went to Hard Rock Calling it ended up being McCartney-fest after a day of good music.

And I was hoping for a LDC update when I saw who had started this thread

ivykaty44 · 03/10/2013 15:01

he reminds me of a chuggy pig - is this a thread about a thread?

friday16 · 03/10/2013 15:01

First "people who say he's an arse haven't got a leg to stand on" joke in 3...2...1...

MarmaladeTwatkins · 03/10/2013 15:03

" if you were Heather Mills posting about PM the bile would be oozing out of the screen."

Troo, troo... :(

No, no LDC updates. The PO have seen to THAT.
