I don't disagree with your point GD. People being talented in a certain field shouldn't enable them to live under different rules than the rest of us.

As an example of what I'm talking about though...a while back I read a biography of Steve McQueen. Until then, I didn't know he was a wife-beating, serial adulterer who was an absolute arsehole on the set. Many actors and directors refused to work with him because of his behaviour. I've admired him since I was a little kid but not now. Basically, I would've been happier not knowing that.

That's not going to stop me watching The Great Escape whenever it's on though.

Been watching all of the Harry Potter films with the kids over lockdown. People keep saying he has his mothers eyes, which has given me a mental image of the end of Hotshots and made me chuckle every single time. DAx5vX2VYAAMS5h.jpg.4e81494f3f7d7acb18f73ccaa619b9a2.jpg

I prefer the Addams Family line.

There were a couple of programmes about Peter Sellers on BBC2 last night. Came across as a bit of a monster towards his many wives and kids. Even wrote letters to his kids suggesting they change their surnames and that he no longer considered himself to be their father. Re-wrote his will too to give everything to his 4th wife. His 4th heart attack finished him off (aged 54).

When asked about being called a racist, Morrissey said: “If you call someone racist in modern Britain you are telling them that you have run out of words. You are shutting the debate down and running off. The word is meaningless now. Everyone ultimately prefers their own race … does this make everyone racist?”

Oh, you’re at it. Sorry, I thought you genuinely believed this shite, but nobody would post someone confessing their racism as evidence that they are, in fact, not a racist.

Good luck with trolling Granny with it, though.

Not trolling anyone Dave, just stating the facts, if you don't like it, just stick me on ignore, probably for the best.

Thank you.

At what point do you say “nope not listening to them anymore”about an artist? Are there people who don’t listen to the Who because of Pete Townshend conviction? The Stones because of Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith? Tupac was a convicted sex offender, no-one seems to mention it.

I’d guess there aren’t many folk still listening to Gary Glitter or lostprophets. Wherever the line is for most folk, they seem to have crossed it.

If anyone’s trying to troll me it’s you, if you didn’t respond to his apologist pish I wouldn’t have to read it.

Biggie’s on your ignore list? I’d no idea; apologies. You do seem to post a lot about him.

Really, you’ll have to show me this.  Better still don’t bother.

I probably wouldn’t have noticed him winding you up about right-wingers if you hadn’t kept alluding to it. Wasn’t that why the pair of you ended up on the naughty step?

You can probably adapt them a bit:

I suspect that is how @Div dictates his posts to the mods

Can't say I've heard Two Little Boys or Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport for a while either...
