Yeah, like the Abbey Road album cover.....You're right about that?
Is there some symbolism with "peacocks" that may fit with the theme of this forum?
Are they near a beach?

The pic was taken at Fauls farm in Sussex. He has a studio there.

Anyone one know exactly where Bill lives in Sussex because I live there and it would be interesting to know.
There is a rumour that Ringo Starr lives or lived in a house near the village of Cranleigh, anyone heard any info regarding this? Your help would be appreciated.

Plastic Paul, I wish I knew. I hope you find the information that you seek. That photo again: Can someone explain to me why Ritchie looks to be almost as tall as the other two ? He never bothered with trying to look taller when they were at the top of the world. Why now ? It looks to me like he's wearing elevator shoes or boots. They say that when you wear them, it's very hard to distinguish them from regular footwear. My guess is that he must've decided to do something about his shortness of stature, when he became serious about Barbara Bach. I'm pretty sure she's tall & lanky.

I think it's because Ringo is standing on elevated ground and Paul isn't.

That might be. However, his instep looks very high in those shoes. Are they boots ? He's standing right next to George & they look about the same height. Even if George is leaning back, Ringo should still be shorter.

Ringo is clearly wearing boots/lifts here; no mystery.

They look like they are standing on the same level. Ritchie is wearing lifts....unless he got some abnormal growth spurt....but he was never as tall as the others....

DarkHorse, I don't think so. I think that George was the tallest of the boys. It's usually George's feet that I've compared Paul's to. George always has a long flat instep. Paul's almost always looks short & very high in his shoes. George had to be at least 5ft. 10 inches tall. Give him a shoe or boot with an inch or two heel & he's 5ft. 11 - 6 ft. tall.

DarkHorse, I don't think so. Well it was a joke. Paul had very long lower leg bones. This is evident in the '62 beach shots. invanddis.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=Clues&action=display&thread=1138127604&page=2Paul's feet in that beach pic are level with John's but his knee bone is higher, therefore his lower leg bone was longer than John's(use their left legs as a reference). Same thing when compared to George's lower leg...longer.

Darkhorse, I have to check that out. I'm sorry I didn't realize that you were joking. I do tend to take things too seriously sometimes. Paul was not built like the others. He had long legs & a short torso.

Jan posted: I know a few other people who have had the exact same experience. I would like very much to see your poetry, Jan. JoJo posted: I posted this photo elsewhere on this forum. I noticed that there was a very clear "orb" next to Bill: Some people feel that true orbs ( as compared to false positives ) are a manifestation of a person's spirit. Whether that "orb" next to Bill is a real one is anyone's guess. Bill seems to think that his dead bandmates are around him quite often. The fact that he was chosen to perform at half-time for the Superbowl was a very big event for him. Maybe it caught someone's attention. ;D

That could be an "orb" or it can be a blurred reflection from someone's camera, or glasses as well.
And it could be the orb of confusion, lingering long over Bill and his extensive life as JPM.

Looks to me like the orb did not like him and smacked him in the face. ;D There is a round brown spot on his face from forhead to nose.

I've never heard of orbs smacking people on the face leaving a brown spot...but this could be the first. Perhaps this is the essence of JPM and he's after the replacement.

After looking at it again, it almost looks like he used a hot iron to try to iron out the wrinkles on his forehead. OUCH !!!

McCartney also believes John made his presence felt on the single's B-side. He revealed: "We put one of those spoof backwards recordings on the end of the single for a laugh, to give all those Beatles nuts something to do. I think it was the line of a George Formby song. Then we were listening to the finished single in the studio one night, and it gets to the end, and it goes, 'zzzwrk nggggwaaahhh jooohn lennnnnon qwwwrk.' I swear to God. "We were like, 'It's John. He likes it!" Well gotta hear it, right? I think I isolated the section he's talking about: LINKBackwards of course: LINKThe whole thing: LINKNice drawing by John on the cover, and the back:

Sorry if i've missed the point JoJo, but surely that quote you made refers to the little bit at the end of FAAB where we here the ukelele (george formby's weapon of choice) followed by "(mumble) John Lennon", which is the bit that when reversed sounds like "turned out nice again"

The quote is confusing, not sure if they are refering to the B side (Xmas time) or the Formby bit. Seemed to be saying "look at the B side", so I did.
May have misinterpreted, but the backwards one sounds like "blasphemy" to me. (which isn't what was described in the above I know)
