"A very illogical Barnstar, Captain Kirk"....
editFor absolutely no reason at all, apart from the fact that it will make you laugh a lot, I, andreasegde, hereby award you with a Dancing peanut butter jellybean-thingy. Andreasegde 19:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Gizza gram you Scalleeeeeeeee! Amir Editor
- Barry Miles' book (Many Years From Now) - page 320. Macca said he wrote it in the Wirral, but a traffic warden called Meta Davies said she gave him a ticket outside his house in London, and after she wrote her full name on the ticket, Macca said that it would make a good title for a song, as traffic wardens in America are called Meter Maids.

Names
editNo, but I used to know a Greta. She died, but I still think that should put me in the running for some sort of reward. £5 ought to do the trick.--Crestville 15:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- She died, and you want £5 for knowing her? £2,000 to pay for some kind of crudely-carved cement headstone would be a better idea. BTW, did you give her one? (before her untimely demise BTW.) Sorry about that - I'm feeling silly... andreasegde 23:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, man. I knew a Greta. She was me Grandma's next door neighbour and she died maybe ten years ago. So I would have been ten and even less interested in geriatric sex than I am now. For the record, I had no hand in her death (this is unofficial as the inquest is on-going, but you can take my word for it. It was no where near the magnificantly crafted regency-era candlestick at the time. I was in the billiard room with Professor Plum and the rope). She used to bring us rhubarb.--Crestville 16:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

A turdy and badly-built team of carthorses
editRight, Mr. Vera, I want a word with you (sound of fingers drumming on desk). I congratulate you on the absolutely wonderful success of the 'pool beating the Russian cash-bank Chelsea, but you have to apologise for your blind faith that Leeds United would not go down to the (old-fashioned version) 3rd division next year, as you very rashly stated on my talk page. You were completely wrong (sound of a silly man crying into his handkerchief) and I will try to get you blocked so as to prevent you making the same comments in the future. There is only one chance that this may not happen, however, and that is if Hull lose and Leeds win 9-0 in the last match. The phrase, "Pigs might fly" crosses one's mind, but I believe it to be redundant (as are Leeds United). This devastating run of form means that they will have to play against teams like The Accrington Stanley Pensioners Club (reserves) for the next year, which will give one endless hours of fun (not). Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Maybe I should change my allegiance, and say that I lived in the next house to Mimi Smith's. "I do though, don't I, la?" There is only one phrase to describe this situation, and that is.... bugger, bloody bugger, bugger, bugger. :)) andreasegde 21:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

editI'm laughing, but you know why don't you? You sneaked in a "Vera's Barnstar" when I wasn't looking! There I was, thinking about how ugly my page looked and what the 'eff I could do with it, when I spotted it. (I'm still laughing...) I'm gonna get you for this, Mr. "Oxfordshire in friggin' London".

- I am gob-smacked. Does this mean that your eagle-eyes are so good that you can see in the dark? I'll bet you can. Are all firemen forced to eat 20 pounds of carrots per week as part of the job? You have just unearthed a massive can of worms that totally refutes all that bollocks about Macca buying the Hofner because he could play it upside down. Is there an Eagle-eyed Barnstar? A tall, but heavily pissed-off fan of a northern football team. 14:38, 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)
The haircut
editLennon and Macca went to Paris on 1 October 1961. This was when they adopted the hairstyle (cut by Vollmer) but I think Sutcliffe had it before, as he had left the fabs before then. What does one think, you nail-biting Liverpool fan? andreasegde 15:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
And another thing... :) The photo of Sooty with Harrisongs (in 1960) shows Sooty to have the hairstyle, but not Harry's son. Talking in code again? "How very dare you..." :))andreasegde 16:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Song sample
editListen to this song sample: She Loves You. I swear it's not the fabs, but a cover band. andreasegde 17:56, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

editAsk your kids (and you are also included) to look at the new photo in the middle on my page and decide (in order) which one I am. I could be: 1. The drummer (not visible) 2. The bassist (hardly visible) 3. The trombonist (on the far right) and on and on through the trumpet player, saxaphonist, guitarist, singer, or the piano player. I could be any one of them. What do you think? My neighbour will be interested, as he is on it as well...

Och, Bodie!
editI wouldn't be surprised if his dad was an Assistant Road Manager, this being the proper title (the one that appears in the Accounts book) for a roadie. Being a casual position (cash in hand and sloppy seconds with the groupies) it would be difficult to (dis)prove. The fact that Collins also played in some of the local bands adds credence, but then there are also claims that he embellished stories re his military career. If the info appears in the Beatles article, remove it as unsourced (internal WP links don't count) commenting the article is too big to include unsourced tidbits. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 19:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC) ps. Au Reviour, Msr. Henry!
See above, already mentioned at Talk:The Beatles. Since I've already declared an interest I cannot do much more than shove my tuppence at them. Points to mention to any admin who takes a butchers; The Beatles had an extended recording career, of which the samples represent. The Beatles recorded songs in may genres, of which the samples represent. The Beatles songwriting developed and evolved throughout their recording career, of which the samples represent. Many people have different ideas about the particular song/track which most represents the bands catalogue, of which the samples represent. Get the picture? LessHeard vanU 00:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Mine is "Sir Joseph Dangerous", in honour of my lingering air of danger. BTW, his name is "Paul McIce-Tea" in honour of his Starbucks connection--Crestville 22:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey there,
I don't know if you are aware or not, but recently Paul is dead was remodelled, in an attempt to begin to bring it back to the standard that got it an FA nomination some time ago. The "Clues" section was cut and placed into a new article, as it was this section that attracted all manner of conspiracy theorists adding their own personal ideas and original research, and made the article too long. Also, some days ago both articles were placed on AfD, but they survived it.
I've done bits on bobs on the articles so far, and extensive work today on the 'suggested clues' article, but should you like to contribute to either, in order to improve them, or indeed if you'd prefer to just post suggestions (on their talk pages, or mine), your help and thoughts as a WP:BEATLES member would be greatly appreciated.

- ANDREW. Phil Ochs was a brilliant songwriter - lyrical, beautiful words and images, haunting melodies, and always with a message and a point of view. Although Dylan made the bigger impact of the two, Ochs, to me, was always the superior. Not that they have to be compared, and not to take anything away from Dylan. But Ochs never had the lows that Dylan had, and Dylan's highs were wonderful, but didn't match Ochs' highs. Listen to the acoustic version of Crucifixion - a brilliant and beautiful treatise on the nature of fame and the public's need to tear down those we build up. It never gets old - applies to Britney as much as it applies to JFK. Going to an Ochs concert - and I was lucky enough to go to many - was being in the presence of genius, wit and brilliant talent. Going to a Dylan concert is a crapshoot. He could be in one of his surly moods and assault your ears with his "Dylan" voice and barely a word spoken or he could be feeling musical and be tolerable to listen to. But without the wit. Dylan has written some brilliant songs, no doubt - and his best are indeed specatcular - but he never reached me in the way that Ochs did. And of course the tragedy of Ochs makes it all the more poignant. Many, many times since 1976 I've looked at things going on in the world politically and in popular culture and mused about what Ochs would have said. Dylan is alive and well, and never says anything about anything. Oh - and this probably doesn't apply to VC&D's admiration, but Ochs was sexy as hell. Tvoz |talk 02:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Patthedog
editLook at Lennon's talk page, because it's getting interesting. Being a scouser yerself, it could turn into a Liverpool/Beatles connections page. Of course, it would only be allowed on an archived (or whatever they call it) "Beatles' Project" page (because the people upstairs wouldn't allow it at all) but it would be bloody interesting. Patthedog's mum used to cut Cilla Black's mum's hair. I find it totally interesting and very hilarious, BTW :) Forgive me if I'm off my head... --andreasegde (talk) 19:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Brit/English
editI'm not sure about this British or English thing. I always thought they were a firstly a band from Liverpool, England. Yes, their relatives came from Ireland and elswhere, but they (The Fabs) were born in England. Brit-pop is popular, but too broad. What do you think? --andreasegde (talk) 20:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
The Beatles
editI think sidestepping the British/English controversy by omitting the adjective and simply stating that they were "a rock and pop band from Liverpool, England" is a compromise option deserving of its own heading in the poll. Would you mind if I moved your vote to the new subheading? Robert K S (talk) 21:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- sorry 'bout that - little job came up. Yes, I was making the point that a band from Liverpool England are English, Same as The Undertones are a band from Nothern Ireland, and thefore N.Irish Cheers, Vera, Chuck & Dave (talk) 00:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Photo
editI think they're acting in good faith here. They're talking about changing the French photo to an Abbey Road photo. It's only a pity that it's a recent one (zig-zags) and not the old one.--andreasegde (talk) 11:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It's true
editI'd say I was going over to the UK. We have a London over here. To distinguish the two, I'd say I'm taking a trip to London in the UK. Now that I think about it, it usually is "in the", not London, UK. Actually now that I think about it, London is the only place in England that I'd actually call, London, England, whereas it's Liverpool in the UK, Manchester in the UK. Must be the way we speak over here. Looks kind of daft written out. freshacconcispeaktome 18:24, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Sherlock and Agatha
editOn second thoughts (after me swallowing it hook, line, and sinker) I think only a few days here is bogus, considering the size and intricate detail of his front door. This would interest Agatha or Sherlock. Being a bit "over the top chaps" in said comments about my prowess here also makes me think someone is 'avin me on. Never mind, there are lots of LAs about t'sort 'im out. (Code meant on purpose, of course, R'kid, wink, wink, never say no to a blind bat.)--andreasegde (talk) 23:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I've just finished working on him and The Hurricanes. I was surprised at how popular he was in the 'Pool back then. Poor bugger though, because it all seemed to happen for everybody except him. Fit as a butcher's dog, as well. BTW, the plonker has gone on holiday - ta very much.--andreasegde (talk) 17:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

There's some git on there called Ultraviolet or something that's merging the marriages, deleting the Awards section and removing Commons photos (Cathedral photo). He's a member of The Clean-up project, or something like we're the police officers of Wiki.--andreasegde (talk) 09:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- The hilarious thing is, it's now like the first version we were working on "all those years ago", when we had our big tiff with Kingboyk about "moving the goalposts". :)) I checked it, and not much has been lost, and it wouldn't take that long to put the bits back in their own sections. Maybe it's good to leave it like this for a bit, so as to weed out the cobblers and slipped-in POV. Such is.... rice? No, that's not it... wife? Hmmm...--andreasegde (talk) 02:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- As I thought; he's a bleedin' nutter who has his photos taken out and doesn't like others being in (even if they're from Commons). You can always revert the whole shit. Actually, if I'm honest (when people start like that it's always something daft) I, me personally, the one with a bird's name, etc., have never understood how to revert anything. Kingboyk once explained it, but I've always been too scaredy-pants to actually try it.
- As for the temperament bit; I can go off like a rocket (said the actress?) if some tosser is hassling me when I've had a few ('cos I'm a happy drunk). The full power of shouting "FUCK... OFF!!" in a northern accent confuses the Austrians a tad. :)) As for this Wiki stuff; I tend to let it slide (especially on The Two Big Fabs' pages) once they've got a GA, as someone will always come along and revert them, or correct it eventually. If the content stays, it's just a question of style.
- Saying that, I can hear the little devil on my shoulder (Tom & Jerry cartoons?) telling me to go on a few of the git's favourite pages and mess about with them. It wouldn't do any good of course, so I'll listen to the angel on the other shoulder. Ho-hum... :)--andreasegde (talk) 13:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
That's hotting up a tiny wee bit, as Pauline Sutcliffe's book is now in. Lots of humming and hahhing about Lemon being a pooftah and killing Sooty after the fact. We know about Epstein, but as there were so many lasses gagging fer it in Hamburg, who would want to suck sausage? (Forgive me, but I think the various English names for pillow-biters, and even macho-hetro types to be amusing, and show how wonderful our humour is.) Some 'Sam The American Eagle' editor is gonna get me for this, I can feel it in me water... :)--andreasegde (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Rain Beatles
edit'Ello. It's the Kodster. Long time, no see. I've contributed significantly to the article of the song Rain by the Beatles. It's an excellent song, it truly is. After having Andreasedge look over it, she (or he, Andreasedge never really told me yet, and I honestly have no clue!) said that I should nominate it for a Good article, which I've done so.
Anyway, I was just wondering how I should get someone to review this, and I realize, 'ello! There's Andreasedge's chap! So I went to you. Andreasedge already worked on the article, so she (again, or he) cannot review it. So here I am. Just look it over, and see if it is good enough to be, well, good. And Bob's your uncle.
Simply look it over, and see if it is up to par. Thanks!
BTW, I can never get the friggin' link for Andreasedge's user page to work. Andreasedge never really gave me a reason or solution. Strange. Anyway, thus ends my rant.
Have a great day. Kodster (Talk) 19:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC) 01:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Paul McCartney
edit- too long articleUltra! 18:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message - I think there is something in UV S F comments. It may be best to work together on this. If the prose needs a little cutting down in places, then it should be done. I don't think all of Ultra's edits are correct - Macca formed Wings as a separate working entity, he didn't collaborate with "them", and he also had a solo career before and after that band - but the best way would be to talk about it. To Ultra I would say, of course it is a long article; the bloke has been producing music for 45 years now, often to popular acclaim, and has otherwise been deemed noteworthy. You do have to cover everything - which leads to length. It's a collaborative effort. If you folks talked before editing you might get a better article that suits all parties. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:30, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

- Rather than cluttering this...beautiful talk page with a relatively insignificant question, I'll put my comment here. What does "La" mean? Upon asking the monster from the black lagoon, (s)he gave me an unintelligible answer (perhaps due to the mountain of Austrian sausages in (her)his mouth). :) You said it once here in the first comment, where you say "Cheers, La". Is it "lad"? Feel free to not respond to this petty comment.
