>The guy who gets under my skin is Paul (not Sir to me) McCartney. He insists on being called Sir Paul. A few years ago when a song he performed was nominated for an Oscar he agreed to sing it at the awards ceremony only if he was guaranteed to be the last musician on. Yeah, OK, he was a Beatle. He still seems like a pompous arse. Has he completely forgotten being a scruffy kid from Liverpool?

You mean the guys who returned a decoration (some silly piece of ladies' underware was attached to it so it doesn't get lost, IIRC) to her majesty just because they disagreed with UK's role in Vietnam and other crap du jour?

Is he 64 already?
