Exciting New peradventures of James Paul McCartney...

Having seen "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at Abbey Road, I got be play Indigo*,... I mean, Indiana Jones and went in search of the "Lost Park". Yup, traversed 1000 acres in search of the site of historical significance. Eureka! I finally found it!
It's the arch that the Beatles actually rode horses through in the Penny Lane video! No, it's not in Liverpool. Man, I was so excited! I had such a sense of accomplishment! The Park was closed, but the footpaths were still open to walkers. It was great! Wish I had a film crew, and a horse...I woulda recreated the famous video. I also tried to find the exact spots in the video, very hard to do. I am pretty sure this is where the table was set up...based on the forking trail in the distance, and the triangular area of brown ground. Pretty cool detective work, huh?! Pretty sure this is the area! I had alot of fun! It was great! Podgie (Always searchin'...Sometimes findin') Monkey
[* Indigo Jones was a famous 17th century archetect in London, he designed, among other things, the Queen's House in Greenwich...see, I'm always learning something!]

Ya know what I found comical on my trip?! When I ordered tickets on British Airways on-line...they had this drop down menu when you put your name in...it was for title. Well, it had the usual "MR, MRS, MS, DR, etc" ...then as you went down the list they got better, there was "LORD, LADY, SIR". I thought it was neat, so I chose Sir. It was the highest it went. I thought it was wicked cool. All my tickets, and information printed up Sir Podgie. I figured maybe they would upgrade my seat or something,...or maybe it would be good for an extra bag of peanuts or something. Noone at the airport even commented about it. What I found comical, was that the people I told in England that I put my name in as Sir were all concerned. "You wouldn't get away with that in this country...if you were a British citizen!".
I think they were expecting some kind of special police force to storm the house and take me away.
I told them, not to worry, just watch your news...the police can't even catch real crooks over here (Nothingham Police department inefficiency was big in the news at the time). Even the Soap Operas...I think in every one the police have arrested someone for murder, but it's the wrong person! If I go by the British Soaps, I'd be more afraid of being arrested by mistake for commiting a murder I didn't commit. Anyway, I found that nobody really cares if you are a Sir over there. I was was kinda disappointed, as if they had asked I was gonna make up the name of some ficticious country...and try to get them to prove I wasn't a Sir. Coulda been funny. Sir Podgie (the list only went as high as Sir...I told my relatives that if it went higher, say "King" I probably woulda chose that) Monkey

Podgie..oh no Sir Podgie I will looking for a crown for you. Just wait and see.

Welcome Back, Sir Podgie.
I bet you'll start getting all sorts of junk mail addressed to you that way...with, you know, brochures for purchasing islands and polo clubs and invites to Wimbledon and stuff like that.
Too bad you didn't run into Paul while you were over there on your Abbey Road Adventure. I can just imagine...
"...and then they threw us out!"

But does it have a trunk monkey? Would that be a bonnet monkey? Loses something in the translation, doesn't it.

The chimp driving has to be his own "Boot Monkey"! Gee...this car doesn't look like it has a Boot or a Bonnet (Hood or Trunk). I wonder how it runs?!

Thanks, fea! I need one of those suits of armour also. It will be neat hanging around the roundtable with all the fellow knights. Podgie (maybe I'll see Paul there?) Monkey

LOL!
Accompanied by that sound effect of feet running and the background that keeps repeating over and over as if no one would notice. Boot Monkey! Of course, not a bonnet monkey.
Mixed up my Britslang.
ops: Bonnet Monkey. That makes me think of...
Nope, nope, it doesn't suit you.

McCARTNEY'S WIFE PLAYS DOROTHY FOR CHARITY SIR PAUL McCARTNEY's wife HEATHER is showing off her acting talents, playing DOROTHY from THE WIZARD OF OZ in forthcoming British charity video. The COMIC RELIEF video, for a re-release of crooner TONY CHRISTIE's 1971 hit (IS THIS THE WAY TO) AMARILLO, was written and directed by comedian PETER KAY. The video will get its first airing on RED NOSE NIGHT LIVE 05 next month (11MAR05), with the money raised going to Africa. 28/02/2005 14:32
Hey...we seen it here first.
PodgeTheBear:
Time for a new classic... Our movie opens on a little farmhouse in London...
"...They were louder at the Rainbow..." Podgie (a RockShow beginning!) Monkey
Wow! Art imitates life. This thread is ahead of it's time. Too bad the video didn't have Paul as the Wizard though. Podgie (jet lag) Monkey
Yep. Heather as Dorothy in Oz...and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Saw that here first, too, back on page 42.
Life imitates art.
Maybe there is a bit o'magic on this thread.
In that case...we need to think BIGGER. A LOT bigger.
How about this...
I think a Nobel Peace Prize is the only prize Paul's hasn't won...yet. Heather was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1996... maybe they'll get a matched set.

Here's a last photo at Abbey Road Studio...
On my way out. Notice the Red Carpet. I wonder if they were expecting me? It was kinda sad leaving the place. Podgie (couldn't take pictures inside, but it was okay outside) Monkey
