[edit] Photos, or is that the Fotos?

Ah-hah! I have them... Now for the difficult bit of working on them and successfully uploading them without getting blocked. (I'm not bored anymore...) andreasegde 19:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Can't the person with the scanner help? Scan, save to suitable format, upload, should be fairly simple :P --kingboyk 12:23, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

He's done it, and took pictures. The scanner photos had terrible quality and then I remembered he could take a digital photo. Same thing, no? andreasegde 12:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mr Foto

I actually believed that some burocrat had requested that I state who took that photo. Then is slipped into the familiar sillyness that punctuates an andrea message.--Crestville 16:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I apologise for constantly putting silly messages on people's pages, but I can't help it. My only explanation is that one has to be silly to balance out the boring, hard-working bits in ones's life.

[edit] Meta Davies

Bloody Macca! I am fast reaching the conclusion that he makes it up as he goes along! "Meta" to the best of my knowledge is an Asian name. How many Asian women were traffic wardens in the 1960s? There's hardly any now! Half the time he doesn't know whether he's been fucked or horse whipped! The next thing he'll be saying is that he saw The Wild One in 1959! Cheers Pal.Vera, Chuck & Dave 12:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

He said he didn't write it because of her, and couldn't remember her, but she said it to some reporter later. Could the name Meta be Welsh? You should know Vera, you were born close to the country where men are men (and so are the women) in the vall-eys boyo...
He'll never give an inch when it comes to sharing songwriting credits/ideas. I'll bet a million that there's an old American gospel song somewhere with the words "Let it be, let it be..." in the lyrics. andreasegde 12:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
My Collette says that "Meta" can sometimes be used as a pet name for Margaret in Scotland. But would the issuing officer have used her pet name on a parking ticket? an when were any of em legible in the first place? He's bleedin Radio Rental! Cheers Pal, Vera, Chuck & Dave 12:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Good point, about legible. Maybe he asked her name? I give up, he really wrote it about our Mam, who had so many kids she had a bed with a meter next to it.andreasegde 12:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Your'e not really Macca are you? 27shillings a day in 1962 was cheap our andrea? It was 16.870% of what Pete Best was earning in a week as a Baker, and would have bought about 24pints of Bitter. Cheers La, Vera, Chuck & Dave 14:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yanks

If its of any interest to you, I'm havving a very fun debate with some American hip-hop fan on the Noel Gallagher talk page. If you've got a couple of moments, I'm sure you'd aprreciate it given your recent trouble with out American cousins. We're one people separated by a common language. And a big fucking ocean, thank Christ.--Crestville 17:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

You have to remember that we (Brits) were (orginally) European, and have a German Royal family (Saxe-Coburg Gotha = Windsor) whereas our American brethren are international - even if they did steal their "Land of the Free" from American Indians. Australians have a lot to answer for as well. History is written by the winners, as Winston once said. andreasegde 22:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
To be fair, Drew, history is written by very boring men in tweed jackets smoking pipes.--Crestville 16:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Ahh... but they get the last word. Let's hope they're not around in 100 years when they write up the history of "Pop music in the 20th century". Can you imagine it?
  • "Barry Manilow was a well-respected and much-loved performer, who, along with lesser-known acts like Sir Paul McCartney, wrote some splendid songs in the form of ballads." Arrgghhh.... andreasegde 17:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
From whence are youquoting this evil?!--Crestville 13:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
From my own disgusting imagination of things to come. Think about this: In the future history will be written by people who are interested in how many records/CDs/chip information song-collect thingys were sold in the past. A band like the fabs (who only lasted ten years) will be written about in lesser terms than The Stones (because they will last 101 years and will have released 5,000 albums before they pop their clogs) and - God forgive me - Status Quo, because they played more live gigs. What is important to us now will be viewed (and reviewed) differently. Vivaldi was famous back in the past, but who else was around at the same time? He couldn't have been on his lonesome, could he? No there were probably hundreds of others, but... they have been forgotten. Such is life.andreasegde 14:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Football an the world's gone mad! Far too much money involved, an' too many shady people involved with online bookies!

[edit] Reviews

Mimi Smith is going through an FA review, Brian Epstein is waiting for somebody to closely inspect his underpants/review, and Cynthia Lennon (a marvellous woman) has just been put on the GA block for a serious look at her GA silk underwear. I think that will do for now, Mrs. Thrappington... andreasegde 22:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Uhh, I agree dear, underwear can be horribly embarrassing to be gawped at by total strangers in the front yard. I always hang mine out in the backyard near the dog kennel by the pile of tea-leaves and old rags. Mrs. Thrappington 22:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wait till you read THIS!

Leeds have appointed administrators who have agreed to sell the club back to a newly formed company lead by Ken Bates. The move means that the club who were all but relegated to League 1 last week, will go down immediately because adminstration incurs a 10 point penalty by the Football League. A statement from administrators KPMG revealed the club have debts totalling approximately £35m.

Leeds Chairman Ken Bates took a swipe at the previous owners after the club were placed in administration. The Elland Road outfit who have debts of almost £35m have opted to act now rather than incur a 10 point penalty at the start of next season.

Blimey oh Crikey! I'm off to werk. Cheers pal. Vera, Chuck & Dave 18:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Sneaky buggers... Nice one! andreasegde 18:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
What this means is that players are being paid far too much, are being imported by the dozen (no, I'm not racist because I live in a foreign country) and are sold by unscrupulous agents for millions, and not enough time and energy is being spent on training young players. It's all money, money, money - gimme, gimme, gimme. Why not just have one single "World Super Cocoa-cola best-of-the-best League" and do away with all the rest? (Joke...) Have we forgotten where it all started? "Muddy pitch, jumpers for goalposts" (Fast Show) It seems so... It all started to go wrong when they renamed the 1st division the "Premiership".andreasegde 19:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Excatly! That's what started it, five greedy clubs (mine included) instigate a break from the leauge, The Football League dosen't turn round and say "well piss off then, and stick yer FA Cup etc, you just carry on til your'e sick and tired of playing each other" (Like Scotland) they say: Please sir, may we have some crumbs from the table?".
But you know what they're after: a Euro Super League, then when the yanks have bought it, there will be The Manchestershire Devils (in Florida) and The Lancastershirepool Rangers (in Dallas) Playing each other in the Soccer Bowl! Mind you the only good thing to come out of that would be Janet Jackson getting her tits out again! Cheers Pal, Vera, Chuck & Dave 11:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Exactly! "Euro-Premier League of Champions". (Sounds of Valhalla-type music and players with laurel wreaths around their noggins marching out on the pitch in gold shorts.) The other leagues would get a five minute report on Sunday evening (in black and white) showing a goalkeeper with a flat cap and a cig leaning against the goalpost.

[edit] The reason we are here

The status board I find a certain pleasure can be gained from this. Cynthia Lennon is next, and then Astrid Kirchherr. andreasegde 00:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LOL!

Yeah OK I asked for that! Tell you what, "the Googler's" will wonder wot that's all about!

I see yor doing a great job on Astrid Kirchherr, but guess what Our Kid, If Macca started playing Bass when Sutcliffe left the band, what the hell is his bass doin on stage? It's right next to Stu's leg in the piccy! Keep takin the tablets! Cheers Pal, Shylock Bones

El shit-os, Herr. Shylock, you are bang right! What's all that about???? andreasegde 14:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
It means Macca doesn't always tell fibs! He said he was shite an was only in the band cos of Lennon and that he told him to mime an when the bass was really needed, he would play! Betcha Macca's Playin pianna on that song! Cheers Pal, Vera, Chuck & Dave 14:47, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
And it's a left-handed bass! The old story is that he only bought the Hofner because he could play it left-handed is all cobblers, and the truth should be told!Mr: Gob-smacked 14:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I moved it to the Stuart Sutcliffe page, because it was too much on Astrid's page. andreasegde 15:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank God for that - I thought (Yellow Tabs Man) we were both seein things! Vera, Chuck & Dave 15:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I've just mailed a friend (who Plays bass) and asked him to look at Sutcliffe playing, and he's says he has'nt got a clue about what it is he's trying to play on that bass! He says it looks like he's trying to hold down a chord or something. He says George is playing because his fingers are blurred. Also he thinks that it may be a staged piccy because both guitars are not on their straps, and says it seems strange that anyone would choose to play with the guitar cocked on their legs like that. What do you reckon? Cheers pal, Vera, Chuck & Dave 11:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Oh, and if you look up from the fingers of George's left hand, I swear that's Macca watching, wearing a white shirt and leather jacket with the collar turned up Vera, Chuck & Dave
The book says, "George and Stuart..... sharing a quiet and and thoughtful musical interlude at the Star-Club". They weren't performing, but having a bit of a jam/rest. andreasegde 11:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
There yer go! Is he good or is he good? Vera, Chuck & Dave 12:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I believe the general concensus is that he's crackin', and definitely to be bought a pint. BTW, I think Macca is on the piano between Sooty and Harrisong. You can see the back of his bonce. Would Macca actually WATCH someone play? Nah, his fingers would be twitching, or his male member... :)) andreasegde 12:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: cynthia lennon article

The article has excellent detail, but I'm concerned it reads somewhat non-npov - a vast majority of notes come from a book by Cynthia herself, which is not necessarily objective, and 2. not all information is entirely encyclopaedic: do we really need to know how long she was in labour or how much Kenwood cost? (left this note on the talk page of the article as well) Carrot Jones 17:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

It would take me about half an hour to put in extra citations from Spitz and Miles (which agree with Cynthia's comments) but I think it would clutter up the article. If that has to be done, I will very gladly do it. I was paraphrasing a published book, which nobody has said (in public, or in the courts) is wrong. If nobody sued her (including Yoko) then I think it stands. I thank you for your comments, BTW. andreasegde 18:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
In general terms I think Mr Jones is right, Andrew. It's fine to cite Cynthia for things she said, but for fact and things she did not so good. If you can back anything potentially dodgy up with citations from other books it would be worth doing. Looks like you're gonna lose that half hour ;) --kingboyk 20:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Musing, whilst waiting...

I am of the opinion that an awful lot of articles are about anything that editors want to write about. Can I put one up about toilet paper and the use thereof in The British Isles? I may even do one about the use of greenhouses in the northern climes of England, as I could quote my own mother. Wait a minute, what about my favourite hymns that I hum in the bathroom? Ho-hum... andreasegde 12:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You probably could get away with the first two, as long as you found independent reliable sources. You couldn't quote your mother unless she's a published expert on the subject (! :)), because that would be original research. I hope that helps, and I look forward to seeing Greenhouses in northern England at FAC soon! :P --kingboyk 13:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Would I subject anyone at all to my mother's comments? (She won "Best Cottage Garden" in East Leeds two years in a row, and came second the next year) and is a bloody expert. She once gave me a six-hour video (get that? a six-hour video) about her garden through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and the changes it underwent. If you can do that (and watch the whole thing, which I never totally have without falling asleep, God forgive me) I think she deserves a a Wiki-page. I've got it: "Cottage Gardens in East Leeds", with a list about who has won it, plus bits about how "the woman through the woods" used to cheat and employ professional gardeners... Nah, I think I'll hold on that one for now. :))

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS - guess who just popped up on BBC Prime? The bloody fabs (again). Every time I get on here. It's weird.andreasegde 12:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Jesus your'e feckin spooky! I've just logged in! Now, Sooty: he says (an Kircherr) that he was the first but contradicts herself, cos she knows she's bin telling porkies to boost Sooty's importance. Go with Vollmer doing Macca & John, mainly cos it's sourced, and remember, Harry's Son was the last (excluding Besty) to adopt it - make sense? Cheers La, Vera, Chuck & Dave 16:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Bugger, I read that Harry put his forward after a trip to the swimming baths in Hamburg (and he was a good friend of Sooty's). I would put my money on Lennon being the last one to accept it (with his sidekick Macca) because he was a "Rocker". Also: Spitz says that Lemon took the total piss out of Sooty because of his new hairstyle (which sounds a lot like Lemon.) Do you fancy a wager? Liverpool winning the cup, Leeds going back up next year, or Lemon and Macca having the moptop first? "Ya places yer money an' yer takes yer choice..." :)) andreasegde 16:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... I see what you mean, yeah I think Lemmon would have taken this piss alright, Hmmm... you could be right, Astrid may well have done Sooty's an not Lemmon an Macca's, cos Vollmer says he didn't Give anyone else the haircut cept those two. Jesus it's the Chalice from the Palace again!! Vera, Chuck & Dave 16:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
How about Astrid did Sooty, but it was Vollmer who created it? Vera, Chuck & Dave
Yer reaching, La. Astoria said that "lots of boys in Germ-land" had that hairstyle, and it was not new. Lemon and Macca just bowed down to what the other lads were doin'. They might have been the bosses like, but they knew (with Epstein on their case) that the old rocker look was not on. Are we talking real money here, or a night out with a fireman of my Austrian girlfriend's choice? (She knows more about you than she does my own bleedin' family :))) andreasegde 16:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
