It's Your Round Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ed **** Sheeran?! To be fair the only time I’d allow anyone to play Ed Sheeran would over my dead body. So I guess that explains that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2020 Beloved Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson's dad, Charles Harrelson, was a hitman. He was obliged in a number of murders and ultimately ended up serving 2 life sentences for murdering a judge (allegedly on the orders of a drug lord due to be tried before said judge. He eventually ended up in a maximum security prison following an escape attempt years later. But perhaps most interestingly, he was implicated in the JFK assassination. He 'confessed' to the killing while involved in a police standoff (where he also was completely off his head on cocaine), and was known to have boasted to criminal acquaintances that he was the killer. Subsequently he has been subsumed into the JFK assassination 'canon' of conspiracy theories as one of the infamous 'three tramps', and many believe has been identified as the youngest of the three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I love a bit of JFK conspiracy stuff , must have spent hours and hours reading the stuff .... my favourite is that one of his security detail accidentally delivered the final shot as he kinda slipped as the car accelerated away ....ultimately it’s been 100% proven Oswald did it ( Ok maybe let’s say 99.9% to be safe ) The Harrelson story is an interesting one that does the round but The 3 tramps arrest notes identified them as Gus W. Abrams, Harold Doyle, and John F. Gedney ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 For no reason at all, enjoy the quality of this 60’s singles and albums chart. Kinks, Small Faces, Dylan, Beach Boys, Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, John Mayall, Rolling Stones... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Actually, even I detest Yellow Sub). 1967 and 1968 were THE peak years for the singles charts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 We had a type of spider I didn’t recognise on the rabbit hutch. A bit less than a cm long, fat n round, glossy brown with a bit of cream, scruffy shapeless web. So I looked it up. It’s called a rabbit hutch spider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2020 Probably posted this before but a slightly interesting but totally useless bit of trivia which is forever locked in my mind is that the HMW dog is called Nipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
