We have now been without him for nearly a year.

With an impending correction due from Growls, that only leaves spang, qmy & trike missing from last year's nominators. Bring out yer dead, people.

by Growler Mon 09 Jan 2017, 02:17

Me too, lards.

Do you know, there's a lot of bad feeling over here that his nomination for a New Year honour was ignored, yet we have Posh Spice OBE and Sir Andrew of Murray, and the usual rewards for political donors, cronies and general arse-kissers ...... not to mention civil servants ennobled simply for doing their bloody job (and not always that well either).

by skully Mon 09 Jan 2017, 02:19

Growls!!! Need another nom for previously nommed Rolf. Cool

by Growler Mon 09 Jan 2017, 02:23

Oops. OK, like for like .....

Very poor. I'm surprised he hasn't been honoured in this way before, not 'just' because of his efforts in the war, but for his profile over the last ten - twenty years in particular, as he and his last few surviving comrades have kept the sort in the public eye.

Absolute farking legends, all of them - the survivors and those who died on the night and on subsequent missions.

And "no" on the u-30, although Amy Winehouse did die a couple of years after someone nommed her.

And Q...

From TMZ...

"Charles Manson is finally strong enough to undergo a surgery that will repair a lesion in his intestines that has caused significant bleeding ... TMZ has learned. ... Manson was rushed almost a week ago from Corcoran State Prison to a hospital in Bakersfield, CA for an operation."

by lardbucket Mon 09 Jan 2017, 07:13

trivia ... which major artist recorded a Manson song?

What (or who) is the common (most direct) link between Manson and Fleetwood Mac?

Christine Perfect?

by lardbucket Mon 09 Jan 2017, 07:21

be more specific, since she was in Fleetwood Mac ... what's her connection to Manson?

by taipan Mon 09 Jan 2017, 07:25

lardbucket wrote:be more specific, since she was in Fleetwood Mac ... what's her connection to Manson?

IIRC she was knocking around with Deenis Wilson from the Beach Boys who was writing songs with van Dyke Parks and Terry Melcher (Doris Day's sonars they had some connection with the Manson Family. (Renting a house from?)

by lardbucket Mon 09 Jan 2017, 07:29

Dennis had Mr Manson as a houseguest for some time. Cost him a few hundred K without even counting the coke, but he got a crappy song out of it. Manson tried to sue him ... he was lucky Manson didn't come after him a year later.
