millwall32 114 Posted May 12, 2006 I f George Martin counts as a Beatle then I would back him. Of the two fully-fledged Beatles alive I wouyld suggest (from a tiny bit of social interaction with both) that Ringo will go before Paul....but not for years yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millwall32 114 Posted May 15, 2006 Why will Ringo go first Millwall, still smokin' is he? Older and, by the llok of hmi I caught last week, a touch frailer than his colleague in the rythym section. But as I say, neither will be going soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted May 15, 2006 Why will Ringo go first Millwall, still smokin' is he? I don't even think Ringo drinks anymore. Though Paul might stone every now and then. But I doubt it since now he probably lives a much healthier life now. Keith Richards is the best target of them all. Of course he will never die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted May 17, 2006 <DUMBING-DOWN ALARM!> Sir Paul has been world famous for five decades following the global success of the Beatles in the 1960s. </DDA> Was that one of those popular singing group thingies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted September 5, 2006 Sorry to play the devils advocate, but I agree with the death curse theory. It might be a little far fetched... but it seems believable to me. By the way, Paul McCartneys death was a hoax. It's all over the internet. He's fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted September 5, 2006 Just cos it's on the Internet doesn't make it true. I mean, you can still find Iain's predictions of certain death on this site. As of today, you can also find those certain to die walking around. One thing not online in spades is the cracking George is dead story that did the rounds on the back of a couple of lacklustre mid-seventies records by the lead guitarist in the seventies. That's probably the best Beatle rumour of all cos it almost had the ring of truth for a while back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pooka 26 Posted October 19, 2006 The one thing that could go terribly wrong for Lady Mucca is that her scattergun claims meet the financial power and cold hearted lawyers of Sir Paul. It's just possible that if they let her go long enough she'll rant away unchecked into a hole she can't escape. She's left a trail of people - including her first husband - willing to turn up on television and say she's a compulsive liar. S'pose it gets really dirty. Sir Paul could line up some of those people, those involved in her porno work, and the guy who went on record telling the NOTW she was a prostitute. Macca's argument would be she was a gold-digging fraud all along and - therefore - unfit to qualify for his money or custody of their child. Man, public demand alone would put pressure on everyone to show that trial live on tv. Eastenders and Corrie could take a month off. Well, I was about to be awfully witty, make a comment about La Macca's talent as a pianist and post a link to Gladys Mills (d.1978). But I can find no images of Gladys and very little reference. Amazing considering she used to appear on Morecombe and Wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted October 20, 2006 Paul's crystal ball (with apologies to Sgt Pepper): When I get older losing my case, Many years from now. Will you still be sending me a valentine Courtroom pleadings bottle of wine. If I'd been drunk at quarter to three Would you lock the door? Will you abuse me, will you accuse me, When I'm sixty-four. You'll be older too, And if you say the word, I could stay with you. I could be handy, dishing the cash When your false leg's gone. You can take your crutches from the fireside Sunday mornings go for a ride, Throwing the glasses, twisting my arm, Kicking me on the floor. Will you abuse me, will you accuse me, When I'm sixty-four. Every summer we can wreck a cottage, In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear We shall fight and rave Grandchildren on your knee Vera Chuck & Dave Send me a statement, outline your case, Stating points of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say Yours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Stuffed for evermore Will you abuse me, will you accuse me, When I'm sixty-four.

Well done Godot, well done. The thing I'm finding most satisfying about the proceedings is finally we have an answer to one of the twentieth century's great unanswered questions: Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four? No Paul. No she wont. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks for the above, will she ever get Bach on a horse? Re Ringo, can't find it by googling but I know he had TB or summat similar as a kid. Is the wind likely to slowly ebb from his being? His official site, is full of uplifting stuff and a recent video clip but says nowt dodgy about his health.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted November 4, 2006 Funnily enough, I've been listening to John Lennon's album 'Imagine' from 1971. Includes the infamous 'How Do You Sleep'..... ..here's an example.. You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your mama tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you've gone you're just another day interesting....

maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted November 4, 2006 Allegedly the somewhat hard to decipher lyrics for Ringo's 'Back Off Boogaloo' are a snipe at Macca, if you see him as Boogaloo it makes more sense. Having said that, the song is almost certainly co-written with an uncredited Marc Bolan so making literal sense of it is something of a mug's game. Them there lyrics in full: (Richard Starkey) Go! Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, boo. Back of boogaloo, What d'yer think i'm gonna do? I got a flash right from the start. Wake up, meat head, Don't pretend that you are dead, Get yourself up off the cart. Get yourself together now And give me something tasty. Ev'rything you try to do, You know it sure sounds wasted. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo. You think you're a groove, Standing there in your wallpaper shoes And your socks that match your eyes. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. Get yourself together now And give me something tasty. Ev'rything you try to do, You know it sure sounds wasted. Back off boogaloo, What d'yer think i'm gonna do? I got a flash right from the start. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. Back, ba-ba-ba-back! Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. Back, back, ba-ba-back, come on! Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo. It's the bit about pretending he's dead that gives it away and the 'get yourself together now' bit is - supposedly - a put down on the lame post Beatles music macca was making circa 1972. The wallpaper shoes is pure Marc Bolan and probably means nowt, reads well, mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
