No Elvis slagging please.


Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful hip thing.


How much new ground is there to break? And as for writing own music tosh - where does this all come from? Do we expect actors to be able to write their own words? Or opera singers? No we do not.


Pah, music snobs...

Am with Keef and Mr Ben on this one.


f you suspected that someone had abused your children would you be paid off as a settlement? or want them to be locked away so it could never happen again?


I really wouldn't trust the allegations made against him, but that's just me. I never met the man, don't know the full circumstances (only what i've heard via the press) so who am I to judge.?


Whilst jacko was clearly a wave or two short of ship wreck, I really don't think he had any malice in him or was intentionally deviant. He had a shite childhood and clearly wanted to recapture his lost youth. I'm not saying whatever happened or what he did was right, but I honestly think he was seriously fucked up and just wanted to be like a child sometimes. Think it's quite sad.

Which kids?


The one he dangled over a balcony like a doll - for the benefit of his fans?

The two he bought as part of a financial arrangement with his nurse?

The one born to another secret surrogate somewhere or other?

All three with their biological roots shrouded in mystery and their mothers waved aside by way of a wad of cash?


Oh yeah.. those kids.

I do feel sorry for them, but I don't think the demise of The Prince of Pop is any great loss to fatherhood as a whole.

Yes *Bob*, those ones.


The same ones who used to walk around with their heads covered in veils.

The ones who clearly - to put it tactfully - don't look much like their father.


Hopefully it's not too late for the kids to have some sort of normal(ish) childhood.



(Sherwick - Not sure I'd describe the Challenger disaster as a "great TV event"...)

True, i should have written 'TV events' not 'great TV events'.

Despite his obvious eccentricities, probably due to the fact that hid dad treated him very badly and physically and menatlly abused him, he was a musical great, I loved his music both as a solo artist and with the J5. May your god go with you Michael, at least now he can get some peace.

Hang on, Atila.


On several other threads you're lambasted anyone who uses background / adversity / upbringing as an excuse for their dubious behaviour, but now - just because he makes some music you like - you're prepared to overlook everything?


Massive double standards.


This is someone who, were it not for the records, you'd be booing on Jeremy Kyle.

For your info I don't watch Jeremy Kyle, but you must do I guess. I don't overlook everything at all, sure he did some weird shit, but I loved the music. End of story, didn't say I approved of his weirdness by the way, or did you choose to ignore that part. FFS!

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
