RIP Thread March

Why dive you delete mine??

Anyways started off. A cracking day for me that post. Got unLimited overtime and the offer of a promotion .all started fromthat post this morning
Tra La La La

 

I didn't even post anything and he still deleted it, the bastard.

 

So you don't consider it relevant that the charge against him was overturned regarding the 14 year old (which was one of transporting a female over state lines and not having sex with a young girl)? Presumably you are a fan of certain bands and a particular DJ.

The robbery is no worse than a lot of people later accepted back into society have done. He did the crime and served his time.

As for the filming incidents then those are reprehensible.

 

Can't recall all the Thatcher ones being deleted.

 

Doing milkshakes as well as flipping burgers?

 

Jerry Lee, Little Richard and Elvis were no angels.
Otherwise we'd have ended up with more Pat Boones and Neil Sedakas.

Agree about Peel though: loathsome individual, absurdly revered by some.

 

Come on lads, It's the RIP thread. You can easily make another thread.

 

Jimmy Page had a well known fling with a 14 year old, as did Bill Wyman. Berry was never tried with, or convicted of having sex with a 14 year old. It wasn't an offence there anyway. It isn't one in .France, Germany or Portugal and many other countries we consider civilised. Principle Presley was only 14 when Elvis got involved with her. Little Richard, a favourite of mine swung both ways though he was predominantly on the gay side. The original lyrics to Tutti Frutti were-

Tutti Frutti, great booty
Tutti Frutti great booty
If it's tight it's right
If it's greasy it's easy

If a female producer hadn't suggested a rewrite, suggesting the all rooty bit herself, I don't think that song would have seen the light of day.

Nothing wrong with Neil Sedaka, he wrote some good songs. A decent documentary about him on channel 4 the other night.

Another favourite singer of mine, David Ruffin was a complete arsehole.

 

But some things lead to others.

 

I loved Morse , John Thaw was quite dishy for a bloke .

 

JLL marrying his 13 year old cousin once removed didn't go down well in some quarters.

 

I was only not debating it due to whole threads of debate removed earlier actually
But here goes
His conviction wasn't overturned, it was 'vacated' or effectively set aside as if the trial didn't happen.
So after that they tried him again, with a new judge, and again found him guilty. He did getting on for two years for it
No I'm not a fan of a certain DJ. I was until I found out
Not sure what bands you mean, but if they include paedophiles then no...I'm not a fan

Berry's armed robberies might have just been a jolly jape as far as your concerned but they don't endear him to me regardless of whether he served his time
We agree on the peeping tom stuff
He was also about to be tried on other charges relating to paedophilia after photos of underage girls were found in his house when the trial collapsed due to the prosecutor being implicated in something

Lot of smoke
Probably a fire

I'm not a fan

 

...have I had me tea yet?

 

Some people have awful memories .

 

Who are you?

 

As I said you or anyone could easily start a new thread about what a **** so and so is/was. Just not here.

 

A 'What a ****' thread is a fine idea

Can you guess the first two I'd post on it ?!

 

Amazing how you can recall some things which happened ages ago but not others.
