New here. Anyway, dumb question that I feel really really really bad for not knowing but how do you pronounce Dhani? The question has been killing me…
I’ve spent six months trying to figure that out myself. I try to do it like Danny, but English Danny because American Danny is fearfully boring.
Yeah, I dunno. 
Anyway, my question (inspired by AD40’s Beatles Biscuit game):
Did George really love biscuits or is it just a myth?
I mean, (almost) everyone likes biscuits, but was he very keen on them, is what I want to know.

Offline I keep forgetting to pronounce it ‘normally’ when it’s spelled differently. 🙂 And yes, there’s a difference, although it’s nothing more than different accents.
Anyway, did George really love biscuits as much as they say he did?

I don’t quite recall. I believe it was somewhere round the back alleys of Forumpool that I heard George was very *fiendish* about his biscuits being eaten.

Yoko ate a biscuit without permission from a packet that George had brought into the studio. I believe he called her a “bitch”.
To be fair, I would too- they’re my biscuits 
Here is an animated retelling of the infamous tale:
A little more searching has led to this from Geoff Emerick’s book ‘Here, There And Everywhere ‘:

Did George actually eat a lot? Is their proof that he did or was this just made up by fans?
Well, in the eating-related category, in 1966, George was quoted in the Indian press as saying:
“I’m just naturally thin, I could eat 10 meals a day and still not gain weight.” (x)
As others have said, Pattie mentions in her book that he was never hungry, so it may be more of a running joke with fans.
P.S. Hello, everybody! New here, though not new to loving George, and The Beatles (20 years and counting of being a fan). Always great to encounter other fans. 🙂

Offline Listening to some of George’s solo songs, I came up with an interesting theory:
How much of George’s unique singing style owed something to his smoking habit?
Because , you see, he often sang as though he was getting the words out with limited breath (see his song Life Itself); he does this so skilfully that you hardly even notice it– or if you do you just say yep, that’s George being George– but it’s there. And as shortness of breath is a common side effect of frequent smoking, I thought that might have something to do with it. Not being a smoker myself of course 
I’m not sure what effect it might have on one’s voice.
And should I start a thread on this?

It is an interesting question – a good one at that. If anyone has thoughts on it, they could answer them in this thread. A somewhat similar thread was started in regard to George’s need to gargle prior to shows during his Dark Ho(a)rse tour. The entire thread lasted for 15 posts, most of them wondering why a separate thread was needed.

Having said that, if folk feel it would sustain interesting conversation in a separate thread, I am all for it.

Offline Here’s a question that I don’t know the answer to and of course because I am me- it is a question on George’s aesthetic quality.
When did George actually get his teeth fixed i.e. when his fangs were capped?
He went from this:
^ Dracula-esque George
to
^I-recommend-Colgate-Whitening-Gel-to-keep-my-pearls-as-clean-as-this-shirt-I’m-wearing-George
I abhor the above photo, looks like he’s one of those ‘Injury Lawers 4 U’ that I keep on seeing on the telly *shudders*
Well, does anyone know the answer?/Cares to look up pictures of George smiling from about 1968 to the mid 80’s to see when his teeth changed?

He does look like a creepy lawyer in that picture.
I might do some Googling… will get back to you if I find anything… after all, it’s such a drag to comb through dozens of George photos, right?

Offline Hmmm it still doesn’t say when he did though…
I’d probably be better off writing to Olivia, imagine that letter:
“Dear Ms. Harrison,
I have what some would call “unhealthy” relationship or “obsession” with your husband and son. Not to sound creepy but this question has been bugging me for quite some time: When did George get his wonky choppers capped? Oh and see if you can convince Dhani to do a concert somewhere near Ireland
Hugs and kisses,
ASJ”
