No, because he wasn't even in the same sport as MJ, let alone ball park, when it comes to talent. He has also been proven without doubt to be a nonce!

I feel so sorry for all the fans who have forked out for tickets, flights, hotels etc. Big big money has been spent by ordinary people. If they bought their tickets from an agency like Ticketbastard then they will get refunds (minus booking fees - and on a ?75 ticket expect about a ?10 booking fee). I fear that the secondary ticket market might not be so accommodating. All the money spent on flights too - ouch.


I had a friend with premium stage-side tickets for the opening night. I had a ?10 bet with her that it would never happen. I've won my bet but it's a hollow victory (I still want the tenner though).


I'm not that concerned with the big players (02 and the like) who will have lost a shed load of money (they will have insurance anyway), but I think there will be a lot of fans who have reached very deep into their pockets to see their hero and will have nothing to show for it. It's a shame really because they might be put off going to a concert again - and I'm all in favour of people going out more.

Okay, I know after reading this, a lot of you will just think that I am totally naive, but I have never been sure I believed all the allegations about MJ. With Glitter, it's cut and dry, he's a nonce, but MJ, I'm not so sure he was.


Basically, I believe he acted "inappropriately" towards kids (there is no smoke without fire), in a way that an adult never should, but I always wondered if in his world, he was just having fun and playing (in a non sexual way) with them. I think that he was a big kid in a way, and his world was so so far removed from our every day reality, that he probably saw no wrong in having a sleepover with a bunch of kids.


Like I say, I'm sure a lot of you will think "have a word with yourself Keef, he was as guilty as OJ, a dirty peado through and through", and maybe you're all right, but that is just the way I look at it. We'll never really know for sure. I did always think though, that if someone messed with my kid, no amount of money in the world would buy me off!


Anyway, Thriller was an absolute tune, "Wanna be in my gang" wasn't.

I was saddened to hear the news of his death but not shocked.

I saw him twice in concert and he was a true showman, a great performer and has made some of the best pop songs ever.

There are two sides to MJ ? The weird behaviour, prescription drugs, the surgery, the court cases etc, etc and then there is the music, the dance and his influence on popular culture.

I personally believe that MJ was a very sick individual physically, mentally and morally and for very many reasons. But his legacy has to be his music.

      Fireworks

      By HeadNun · Posted

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
