OKAY, FINE, I’LL REWORD IT.When did you first realise that the Beatles were the best thing since… ever?
Is “ever” a concrete, landmark event in history that I can make specific references to, etc.? If so, please enlighten me, because I have never heard of it. Is it the Battle of Ever? The Everlasting Gobstopper? Or maybe the creation of the brand Ever? Is that a thing? (Note: I just looked it up. Apparently it’s a clothing brand, and I found it on revolveclothing.com. Revolve. Like Revolver . Strange coincidence… or DESTINY?!?!1!?)
All joking aside, I’ve enjoyed the Beatles since I was around 2 years old, but I really got into them when I was 13, and I REALLY started liking them when I first joined this site about 2 years ago.

At the time it was all happening, mid 60s or so, when I was very young and listening to those shows on the BBC back in Wales.

Groovy!
I sometimes wish I had been there. I console myself by saying I must have been an Apple Scruff in one of my previous lives.

@Beatlebug After your mention of Peter Sellers in another thread, are you a fan of British comedy? Do you like Monty Python? Have you ever seen The Rutles?

BeatlebugI say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

That should read

Most of the films themselves veer from good to unwatchable. In truth it’s terrible grammar.

I’m not a social person, i like the quiet life. I dont like the rules that being sociable brings and all that listening to boring stories and being expected to pay attention and care. I dont care if your carpet has a hole in it or you lost your foot last week and found it behind the curtain.
I like hearing about certain stuff just not the dull crap folk feel has to be uttered just to fill the spaces. I like the spaces, spaces are good.

Simple, but happy – it seems more natural and genuine.

Ah yes, but what if the former isn’t a happy life? And the latter could probably be happy. *wiggles eyebrows meaningfully* 
Anyway, impenetrability now. Let’s try:
Do you believe in eating your dessert first, because life is short?

“Happy Life” always trumps “Miserable Life” for me, the other factors are irrelevant.
And I actually DID make a point of heading for the dessert table first, one time years ago when we had catered food brought in at work. I used the old “life is uncertain” excuse, to peoples’ amusement. (But the real reason is that the dessert table wasn’t crowded. Just logical to go there first.)
