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!

      Working from home - pros and cons

      By Sue · Posted

      I also recently waited 30 minutes to speak to someone at HMRC. First of all, they had indicated the wait time from the outset. Secondly, it is a very busy time for them,  with  the 31 January deadline looming. Thirdly, I might be confusing them with some other organisation, but I think they gave other options including for them to phone you back if you didn't want to hang on. Anyway, my main point is that I don't know whether the person I spoke to was working from home or not, but there was no background noise, she was incredibly sympathetic and helpful, and to my utter disbelief she extended the deadline for me to the end of March 😮  The reason was that I couldn't do my online return due to  my laptop meltdown, and had been told repair could take up to 28 working days. She thought that a deadline of the end of February might not be long enough  I was fully expecting to be told that it was my own fault for not getting the return in before. So credit where credit's due, basically. I've previously found HMRC staff very helpful in patiently  explaining in simple language stuff in the rules which I couldn't understand. As for working from home, I'm long retired from working for others, but I have both on occasion worked well into the night/over weekends to meet critical project deadlines,  and also on occasion skived. But in the first job I was being paid a lot, and in the second job I wasn't 🤣

      Loud Bass Dovedale Road

      By Sue · Posted

      I can't help with pinpointing the source of the bass, but I have found playing white noise helps to mask unwanted sounds, and it's also quite soothing (in a way). I ask Alexa to play white noise, which must make a nice  change for her from asking what the temperature and/or weather is outside, or asking her to sing the Doggy Song, which is usually all she does (present from my brother). But probably you can get a white noise app on your phone. Have you contacted Southwark Noise Control (?) who may be able to trace where the bass is coming from?

      Adam Richman eats football, Adam Richman eats Britain. So, asking for a friend, where the name Eats Dulwich came from?
