Single handedly the most frightening French video I’ve seen in my life. But, it was the 80’s when this was made, so yeah……..

One that needs you to concentrate.

Ronald Opus jumped from a 10-story window intending to commit suicide. On his way down, someone shot a bullet from the ninth floor, killing him instantly. Opus had no idea that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor, which would have hindered his suicide attempt had the bullet not killed him. The bullet was traced back to Opus’ father, who had a habit of threatening his wife with an unloaded shotgun. He believed the gun was unloaded when he fired the shot that killed his son. Police later discovered that Ronald Opus, the son, had put the bullet in the gun because his mother cut him off financially. Knowing about his dad’s habit of threatening her with the unloaded gun, he hoped the bullet would kill his mother so he could receive financial support from his father. Thinking that his plan had not worked, the son decided to take his life that day. The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide because the son had actually murdered himself by putting the bullet in the gun.

After 4 years, I still know how to play “Hot Cross Buns” on a recorder (aka the most useless instrument of all times that the school forced us to learn)

The Beatles use a recorder in Fool on the Hill.

And, yes, meanmistermustard’s comments about needing an IQ of 362 to solve the current song-pictures is what inspired me to look this up.

George almost killed himself in 1979 eating too many magic mushrooms– he got so high he fell right over and near cracked his nog on the concrete.

I got my head slammed on a fireplace and I think I survived…

 

George almost drank himself to death….as did Paul…..and Ringo…not John though from what I can remember. 

Lesson learned: Don’t give a Beatle a lot of drink- only bad things can arise.

I’ve had my head cracked open numerous times in the most stupid of ways without the use of alcohol.

No alcohol was involved in my head-accident either. Somebody was practising wrestling moves and thought the smartest thing to do would be to pick to ASJ Off The Ground without warning her, flipping her upside down and then BOOM, slam her onto the marble fireplace.

 

Oh there were tears, I tell ya.

As far as I know of. I could be dead and this is my heaven, no offense to yis all but what a crap heaven :/

 

On a similarly religious note: Today, I learned that the first fully translated Irish language Bible wasn’t published until 1981. I was wondering why it took them so long and then I remembered that mass was in Latin until the early ’60’s so there wasn’t a great need for what was an already minority language to have their own version of The Book. Still took them a damn, long time to translate it though.

What makes you so sure you’d go to heaven? a-hard-days-night-john-6

Its widely written that Edward II died through having a red hot poker or iron inserted up his bottom however historians now dispute it happened.

Talking of red hot poker’s here is a clip from ‘Blackadder II’.

I think they used those big harmonicas for the bass notes too.

Also a certain group, who looking back felt that the cultural/artistic/creative  baton the Beatles had carried for so long was passed on to them…. had their first appearance on the BBC on 5th October 1969…….

Unfortunately, John Cleese keeps refusing to die, as they have joked that every group needs a “dead John” to really bear the comparison!!! a-hard-days-night-george-10

Not just me, The Daily Telegraph.

And wiki

  • Dr. No, the first James Bond film, premièred in UK cinemas.
  • The Beatles released their first single, Love Me Do .

Also on that day

  • North Yemen Civil War: A battalion of Special Forces (Saaqah), sent by Egypt to act as personal guards for new leader Abdullah as-Sallal, arrived at Hodeida.
  • The phrase “So help me God “, was added to the US Armed Forces and National Guard enlistment oaths. As of 2014 the constitutionality of this change has not been ascertained, being in apparent contradiction of the No Religious Test Clause of theUnited States Constitution.

Intriguingly both sets of events (‘Love Me Do ‘/’Dr No’ – ‘1’/’1+’/’Spectre’) were released on Fridays as well so it wasn’t just the same date 53 years later but also the same day.

Maybe they both should just stop releasing stuff.
