To think that Paul McCartney is unbearably annoying?

He is isnt he!

The peace signs make me want to tear my own eyes out.

But today I read the he said it was great to have 'hung out' with Michael Jackson

No one over the age of 20 says 'hung out', and even then it is an annoying phrase!

god yes he is!

wondered when he'd get his bit in, haven't seen him on the telly yet but know he';ll get a good shot at it

thighsmadeofcheddar · 26/06/2009 19:27

I hate him. His stupid dyed hair.

moffat · 26/06/2009 19:27

YANBU, and his music is so over-rated. I do like Stella McCartney though.

verygreenlawn · 26/06/2009 19:34

Oh me too, the "peace" sign, the whole wide-eyed schoolboy look, everything .... musical genius? What, the frog chorus?

Each to their own and that, but no thanks.

Had a lot of time for Linda though - I think her veggie recipes were fab and use them all the time.

southeastastra · 26/06/2009 19:35

oh blimey leave him alone! i like him

ssd · 26/06/2009 19:36

oh, Stella McCartney, dour looking bitch

SomeGuy · 26/06/2009 19:38

YANBU

But Ringo Starr is as bad these days. Everyone used to like him, back when he was Thomas the Tank Engine and general loveable scruff. Now he's a grumpy old man.

MrsMellowdrummer · 26/06/2009 19:41

He probably has reason to be cheerful though hasn't he... he'll get the rights back to his songs now!

Frasersmum123 · 26/06/2009 19:42

Ringo Starr is annoying too - the whole 'Dont call me by my stage name' and dont ask for autographs

YANBU - it's the fishy little mouth that does it (Paul not Ringo)

modrin · 26/06/2009 19:47

just wait until he dies there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth

maxpower · 26/06/2009 20:03

I'm soooo pleased I'm not alone! YANBU by any stretch of the imagination!

Frasersmum123 · 26/06/2009 20:17

He wont die for ages - annoying people like him always seem to hang on!

Sorry but YABU. What the hell has PM ever done to anyone? And he is a musical genius - if you're old enough to remember! He's in his 60s now - he is not required to be "cool"!

BarbaraWoodlouse · 26/06/2009 20:26

YABU. He may have a hint of annoying old rocker these days BUT HE'S PAUL MCCARTNEY FGS!!!!

Portofino · 26/06/2009 20:29

I got DH some tickets to see PM at Earl's Court in the pre dd days and he cried! It really was fab! When he did "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" I was overcome and went mad at "I saw her standing there". His new stuff is not so fab though. Maybe that was HM's poisonous influence....

dawntigga · 26/06/2009 20:30

YANBU but I can't stand The Beatles, let the stoning commence

YANBU

mamas12 · 26/06/2009 21:14

hmmm yes didn't MJ own the rights to the beatles songs or something, what happens to that now?
Do I care?

ClaireDeLoon · 26/06/2009 21:17

YANBU, sorry to the PM lovers but you're spot on in your OP IMHO.

bamboostalks · 26/06/2009 21:20

Couldn't agree more, the only person more up his own his own self righteous arse is Bono. That whole meat free Monday lecturing and hectoring. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I should eat and when I should eat it?

LilyBolero · 26/06/2009 21:23

I can't bear PMc - so supercilious. And I always got the impression that he thought he was 'superior' to the rest of the Beatles.

And he was vile to Jane Asher when they were engaged...

modrin · 26/06/2009 21:33

jane asher for instance is a twat

Mintyy · 26/06/2009 21:35

Hang on a minute:

"... musical genius? what The Frog Chorus?"

Are you forgetting

Back In The USSR
Paperback Writer
Eleanor Rigby
Yesterday
Hey Jude

?

He's annoying, granted, but to sneer at his music is ... just ... well ... really fekking ignorant imo.

How many million albums have any of you sold? jeez
