"There's something odd looking about Paul Mc Cartney now. He's gone very feminine looking- I can't quite put my finger on it."

I think he's always looked a bit 'feminine looking', for want of a better way of putting it. For a while he looked like his face was melting (sagging), then he looked a bit like Tony Blair (maybe had some 'work' done), then as someone said up-thread rather like Ken Dodd, now melting again!

There is a school of thought that he is not actually Paul McCartney at all and that the real Paul died (in a car crash, maybe) after which his place in the band, not to mention his life, was taken over by another singer.

Do you want to look like Paul McCartney, KindergartenKop?

ElainaElephant · 29/09/2018 14:42

Why on earth would you want people to think you look like Paul McCartney?

Your wife is being nice to you..

Rebecca36 · 29/09/2018 14:43

Are you as ancient as Paul McCartney?

MrsRespoDad · 29/09/2018 14:46

Is that the next stage? Paula McCartney?

Count yourself lucky because she knows that your not even signed into google and that your a fucking liar and a cunt

Eh?
.......

Yes, double eh, I agree with you. I don't know from whom you are quoting but honestly, is such vile language necessary on a lighthearted thread.

iklboo · 29/09/2018 14:48

It was Ginkypig. Weird. Or wrong thread.

Yeah before 1966 and after, where he lost weight, grew a moustache, changed his eye colour and was taller....

Fightthebear · 29/09/2018 14:50

It’s a reference to the other thread about the weirdest marital argument you’ve ever overheard.

Bit left field if you didn’t see the other thread Grin

cupcakesandglitter · 29/09/2018 14:50

@Fiffyshadesofgreymatter I thought the same! 😂😂 clearly there is an influx of men arguing about their case about looking like him 🙄

Ginkypig · 29/09/2018 14:51

@iklboo

It's another line from the same thread that this Paul McCartney line is from.

This thread is technically a taat (what's the weirdest argument you've overheard.)

PCPlumsTruncheon · 29/09/2018 14:52

OP, I’d just let it be if I were you Wink

IStandWithPosie · 29/09/2018 14:53

Well Tom Hardy refuses to acknowledge my existence as his one true love.

iklboo · 29/09/2018 14:58

Ah okay. Thank you! Grin

Oooh, he is, isn’t he?

i just wanted to say how delighted i am whenever someone calls him Fab Macca Wacky Thumbs Aloft.

exWifebeginsat40 · 29/09/2018 15:02

i believe the curricula for a degree in Philosophy now reflects the updated existential question of whether Paul McCartney looks like your Nan, or your Nan looks like Paul McCartney.

KlutzyDraconequus · 29/09/2018 15:04

That's ok OP..
Noone seems to acknowledge I look like Tom Hardy..

Mostly cause I don't..

But if I say i do then that should be enough.. I'm a transhardy...

DreamsofJacaranda · 29/09/2018 15:05

I think it’s very worrying that you think you look like Paul McCartney.
You need either urgent counselling or plastic surgery Wink

Ginkypig · 29/09/2018 15:07

@Rebecca36

There you go a link to the actual thread that both of these quotes were from especially for you so you can read the vile language on a lighthearted thread for yourself

Poor Paul - he is 76. I don't think his haircut helps him

SilverySurfer · 29/09/2018 15:10

I don't know for whom I should feel more sorry, you or your wife Grin

LuluJakey1 · 29/09/2018 15:10

Paul McCartney is one of those men who reaches an age where he looks, facially, the same as an old woman. Did you want to look like a man who is nearing 80?

My husband asked me to agree he looks like David Gandy; I couldn't as he doesn't. Their similarities are they are both male.

STOP! I'm not one those those who is constantly 'spitting my tea on my keyboard' Hmm but that picture made me weep with laughter, I must confess.
