A Scotsman goes to the dentist and asks how much the dentist
charges for a tooth extraction.
"$85 for an extraction, sir," was the dentist's reply.
"Och, huv yer no got anythin' cheaper?" replies the Scotsman.
"But that's the normal charge for an extraction, sir" said
the dentist.
"What about if yer din't use any anesthetic?" asked the
Scotsman hopefully.
"Well it's highly unusual sir, but if that's what you want, I
suppose I can do it for $70," said the dentist.
"Hmmmm, what about if yer used one of your dentist trainees
and still without anesthetic," asked the Scotsman.
"Well it's possible but they are only training and I can't
guarantee their level of professionalism and it may be a
lot more painful. I suppose in that case, we can bring the
price down to, say, $40," said the dentist.
"Och, that's still a wee bit much, how about if yer make it
a trainin' session and have yer student do the extraction
and the other students watchin' and learnin," said the
Scotsman hopefully.
"Hmmmmm, well OK, it'll be good for the students, I suppose.
I'll charge you only $5 in that case," said the dentist.

"Och, now yer talkin' laddie! It's a deal," said the Scotsman.
"Can yer confirm an appointment for the wife next Tuesday, then?"

Her defence is pathetic.
Given what they've been able to dig up and play in court, I'm surprised she hasn't withdrawn the defamation claim. She should be f**king embarrassed taking up these people's time. Absolutely pathetic. Empty vessel she is...

What’s the aussie take on this ? Is his position warranted or is he throwing his toys out if the cot ?

Speaking of which, have you merkins seen this?


My wife made watch it but it turned out to be brilliant.

The problem is. Nobody would dig the Beatles sound nowdays. Teens aren't into this type of music. So as great as the song writing is I just can not see it becoming popular. And all the old people would still be listening to the shit they did growing up. The music would just be lost in time if they didn't exist at the time they did.

I had a far better Idea for a Beatles movie. Lennon attempted shooting doesn't kill him. And how the Beatles music continually evolves thru the years via grunge eras etc and they become influential politically.

I think the feelings are mutual on this one. He doesn't want to be there, and they don't want him anyway.
and this sort of thing isn't unusual in the NBA ...... teams are always keen to get as good a return as possible for any trade - players who want out will get all demandy

A few problems with this:

* The Beatles broke up 10 years before Lennon was shot.
* They were already writing patchy music as solo artists.
* McCartney and Lennon hated each and were bagging each other in their songs.

So assuming he survives the shooting he still has to:

* Properly kiss and make up with McCartney.
* Rediscover his talent. After all, he'd just written the vacuous Double Fantasy album a few months earlier.

Perhaps it could work as a film but I'm not really convinced.

I'm just surprised you went to this much effort to discuss it ... 🐰
