Paul’s girlfriend’s father, who is a Sgt. Major. Paul thought the major was a lady, and he got so pissed that he called off the wedding. (Not really a joke answer that’s my honest interpretation)
Who left the hole that Paul had to fix? How did it get there?

Offline John, in a fit of blazing anger, punched a large hole through Paul’s favorite Magritte painting upon hearing that Paul was travelling on an extended art-buying holiday to Slough with McCartney’s art dealer/drug pal Robert Fraser. Upon his return home, Paul attempted to repair the hole by simply buying another (similar) Magritte to strategically place behind the damaged one displayed on his wall.

Offline He didn’t refuse. They were recording George singing Don’t Bother Me at the time when the photographer came into Studio 2 and asked to take the picture. Because of this, he misinterpreted the song as George saying he didn’t want to be in it, and so only called out John, Paul and Ringo. It was only a few moments later that George realised that the photographer had taken them to do the album cover and quickly rushed down to the photo studio. When he got there, he found out that the photographer had finished taking photos and had made someone else stand in George’s place.
Who took his place on the cover, and what was George’s reaction to this?

Klaus Voormann. George’s reaction was ‘Ah, well, if it’s Klaus, that’s all right’ 
All the same, when Klaus designed the cover of Revolver three years later, George made sure he got drawn/pasted onto the cover art properly (not that this stopped Klaus from inserting himself into George’s hair 
).

Offline Ringo awoke on the couch an hour or two later, alone, guiltily eyeing the half-empty teacup, fully drained oversized teapot, and especially the biscuits strewn about the studio. One hell of a session, that was. What does she put in that stuff? Some kind of weird Japanese herb? He still wasn’t sure how he felt about Yoko always hanging around, but she certainly made for…interesting….recording. Just keep me head down and drum. She barely exchanged words with anyone but John, and Ringo the fewest of any of the others, but she always responded to his beat, and they’d all gone into a sort of trance with the combination of the sounds and the intoxicating effects of the tea. And the biscuits, always the biscuits.
“Bloody cookies!” he muttered to no one. Then laughed once to himself, the absurdity of it all. He dimly recalled what he thought was Yoko woozily trying to touch George’s hair, John passed out in the corner and unable to monitor her every movement for once. He immediately decided not to mention it to John. Too much bloody tension when they weren’t playing, these days. No point in mentioning it, no point at all. What a ridiculous situation.
Lot of weird stuff going on lately, first with Paul’s ridiculous bloody farm and its babbling livestock and oversized chickens, now with these mad live-in-studio tea parties…I could write a song! The idea came to him that quickly. Instantly he went to the piano, brushing crumbs off the keyboard, experimenting with the few chords he knew. Soon he added a half-stolen, half-remembered cowboy melody he’d been working on for a year. He found a pen and began to scribble on the only paper he could find: the biscuit box liner. After an hour, he had a title and opening verse, proudly propping the cardboard up on the music stand. He could almost see the rest of the song.
ANOTHER STARKEY ORIGlNAL
“Early 1969”
Scratching guitars, beats are all Starr’s…COOKIES!
With his mama by his side, she’s Japanese.
She screams and she yells ’cause she’s free,
And I don’t care, as long as they’re playing with me.
Now just two more verses. Work Paul and George in there somewhere and I’ve got something for meself for the next album. He knew then for the first time the joy of spontaneous song creation – that wondrous feeling the others were always going on about every time they intro’d a new original for him to add his touch to. I could do this for the rest of me life, he thought.

You’ve outdone yourself this time @vonbontee.
The second verse of ‘Early 1970’ are as follows:
Strumming guitars, beats are all Starr’s…COOKIES!
With his mama by his side, she’s Japanese.
She screams and she yells ’cause she’s free,
And I don’t care, as long as they’re playing with me.
HOWEVER, the Third Verse goes as follows:
He’s a long-legged, cross-eyed guitar picker, um-um.
His long-haired lady at home making biscuits for his tea.
And I hope his flirtin’ with Yoko she don’t see,
But that’s none o’ my business while he’s
Playing for you with me.
What was the first verse of ‘Early 1970 (The Biscuit Party Song)’?

Offline Ringo was trying to find his missing nose, so he tried calling his nose, but it ended up going to voicemail with the nose’s message saying, “you ‘nose’ my name, leave a message’.
You see, the song was originally titled “You Nose My Name (Look Up The Number)”, but Ringo didnt want any involvement with the press regarding his nose.
Who else was trying to press Ringo’s nose?

Offline Ah, yes, the Legend of the Stolen Biscuit.
It was a cold, stormy day and George was playing guitar in the corner of the studio waiting for Paul to tell him to do something. He looked around and noticed his biscuits were gone. He assumed it was either Yoko or Ringo. (He was a little mad at Ringo for trying to steal his nose when he lost his own) He scanned the room, and the bed in the middle of the room, until he realized they were right under some papers in front of him.
He stole his own biscuits.
So, to answer your question, it involved George and George’s wife George.
Why was that bed hanging out in the middle of the studio?

Offline One day Out Of The Blue it occurred to John where to look: the same spot he was hiding his trove of Beef Jerky from Harry Nilsson. So instead of Going Down On Love, John went down on his knees and rifled under the bed he had affectionately dubbed Meat City, where he found that ugly ass tool belt looking bum bag he sported in 1969, a DVD of Billy Wilder’s The Lost Weekend, and …
his lost weekend!
What unscrupulous action did Ringo force Brian Epstein to take in 1965, and how did the other Beatles react?
