    hehehe, never heard him referenced as Macca. And the threads point is obvious, of course it is awesome. It's just that, "Something", didn't instantly register as the Beatles tune to me...I bet there are a lot of songs called that...maybe :o


    "Macca" was John's nickname for Paul.

    Words cannot express how much I despise the trademark McCartney "ditties". Songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer, When I'm Sixty-Four etc. I like his serious songs. The ones where he tries to be quirky make me cringe.

    depends on who's trademarking it. some people think of Paul and then immediately think of stuff like Ob La Di, Ob La Da or Maxwell's Silver Hammer. I pity those people.

    the REAL trademark Paul songs...to me anyway:

    Back in the USSR
    Blackbird
    Helter Skelter
    Elanor Rigby
    For No One
    Here There And Everywhere
    All My Loving
    Things We Said Today
    Fool On the Hill
    Let It Be
    I've Just Seen a Face
    Lady Madonna
    Mother Nature's Son
    Long and Winding Road
    Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End

    Really? what were you doing there...? :o:D

    He went to my local chippy in south London twice for some reason. What he was doing in New Cross I have no idea but he likes chips and pickled onions apparently (now known in there as the Paul McCartney special. They neglected to put Heather Mills' name in there even though, judging by the picture, she bought food too). He even liked it enough to come back two weeks later. Now this place markets its food as "chips to the stars" or some shit.


    Well, you couldn't have a New Cross chippie selling "French fries" at the moment. :D

    *runs*

    :eek: that was terrible :p

    My mother is fucking terrified. Says she's not letting me go back. The news couldn't have made it any worse. She was already having a heart attack about them being students and then it's like "Police say one victim was stabbed 200 times, 100 of them post-mortem, and then set on fire. Officers at the scene said it is the most violent murder they have ever seen".


    :(

    *goes out to buy baseball bat for his new house in deepest, darkest New Cross.

    imo, nothing he has done can erase the sour taste of When I'm Sixty-Four :p
