At at least two gigs I’ve been to NB10 has quietly said ‘she wasn’t’ after the line above.
On another note, whatever happened to that Marilyn bloke, the wannabe Boy George? ICBA to google it.

Peter Robinson (not to be confused with the Northern Irish politician) is still alive, Brumbiscuit. He’s still not famous either, and appeared on Celebrity Charity Gogglebox last month to prove it.

Not blonde either.
No relation to the Jesus Christ of Bloomfield Road (different spelling).

I was still in short trousers when she died. But I remember that my 19 year old uncle was gutted. His ultimate fantasy was no more.

@Brumbiscuit, NB10/57 has been on record as saying he regrets that particular line, which presumably is the reason for the immediate retraction in live performances. For me, that makes the line better and funnier- more HMHB, and less The Macc Lads.

Yebbut, he doesn’t always say it and has left it as is in subsequent gigs. Mind you, James Dean was a careless driver…

Additional: she is alleged to have made the beast with two backs with JFK, who was killed utterly to DETH fifty-two years ago to the day. Spook!

Married Arthur Miller in 1956, I can only assume from the photographs that he must’ve been packing a ten incher.

Arthur must have had a lovely view from the bridge of his glasses.

FFS – I did wonder, the other month, when you only mentioned two of the reasons your posts were being complained about, whether you’d really got the message.
Don’t forget that’s one of the lines which NB10 has in one or another acknowledged that he shouldn’t HAVE written.

NB10 has in one or another acknowledged that he shouldn’t HAVE written.
But doesn’ t change the WORD when singing the song live.

@Hendrix Tattoo: The pedant in me will reluctantly ignore the grammatical error in your post, but to perpetuate the ‘slag’ myth here, after the discussion above is rather perverse. Maybe you don’t care how you come across here – it seems not, in which case carry on with the crass comments – but if you do, read upthread before being contrary.

Wasn’t sure where to place this but can anyone recall a track by Billy Joel about not lighting a fire.Marilyn( q.v) .James Dean (q.v) Catcher in The Rye (q v) Dylan (q v). Elvis and Jack Kerouac also mentioned. ? Think Nigels shopping lists are infinitely more interesting

@Mr Peter – l think the song you’re referring to is “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Aside from merely mentioning 100 or so people and events from the author’s lifetime, no one is sure what it’s supposed to be about, if anything.
