    For some reason that article wouldn't work for me, his music got really cheesy after the Beatles split but as Nepia points out Lennon was a pretty horrible person and undoubtedly a green voter.<br><br>
    Does the article explain why he married that loon a Heather Mills? I heard they split after he bought her a new artificial leg for Xmas and told her it was a stocking filler.

    Why does anyone marry? I think he is a romantic and was in love. Also explains why he neglected to make her sign a prenup, his biggest mistake

    <p>Not sure if anybody caught the rather awesome Paul McCartney interview in Esquire last month. It's online, definitely worth a read, here's a nice sample:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p style="font-family:'Benton Sans', Cambria, Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;color:rgb(68,68,68);"> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:15px;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The whole thing is pretty great, and Her Majesty certainly comes away from the interview looking a whole lot better than Yoko, yeeowch.</span></p>
    <p> </p>

    <p>Thanks for posting that. Really bloody enjoyed it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>By contrast, I listened to a podcast where Alec Baldwin interviewed Paul Simon (Called 'Here's the Thing') and it was like pulling teeth trying to get insight out of him.</p>

    <p>Jegga, there is a misplaced colon in the url. Try this: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/music/8511/paul-mccartney-interview/ '>http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/music/8511/paul-mccartney-interview/ </a></p>

    <p>Macca's name came up in relation to a small mining accident in the South African goldfields where there was a cave in. They eventually got the last guy out but he had had one leg crushed by the fall and was  likely to lose his job. "Who would want a one legged gold-digger?" he asked.</p>

    <p>Did somebody post this ridiculous Bollywood Rugby clip yet? Rucking is back, baby!</p>
    <p> </p>

    </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>(It's from a movie made in 2004, along the lines of Shaolin Soccer is my guess. Got picked up and shown during recent USA 7's, just saw it on Rugbydump..)</p>

    Thrashing around in the open ocean andbleeding is quite likely to result in the kid learning to speak shark.<br>
    Gutted she didn't share the names she's picked for the kid.
