is this crooner George Osborne, who had a hit with On The Wings Of Money in 2012?

[Baldric]

Osborne, Posh-boy (Cameron) et al, be honest, seen one, seen them all.

[snags]

No, George Osbourne is the singer with Black Sabbath.

[missnemesis]

I thought he was the pink one in Rainbow?

[snags]

No, that is George Michael.

[B00]

Meh, least he didn't click his finger and go..

"thingymejig, over there, ya know...him, him"

[missnemesis]

Lol cheers for that Snags. Always happy to be put right.

[Tilly2]

At least he didn't call him Jessie.

Any psychologists out there - Didnt Freud or Jung (oops I was going to write Wnag) write about getting names wrong

and it 'meant' you couldnt stand the fella.


Nominal dysphasia = not able to name things

I know this is off topic, but may I take the opportunity to apologise to you for saying "The Likes Of You" in an earlier post, I realise now that I mistook you for another ABer who is forever on my back, although I don't know why because your two names are completely different, but for some reason I always get you two mixed up for some reason.

So please forget the rude and angry post that I wrongly aimed at you.

[anotheoldgit]

Sorry that was addressed to sandyRoe.

[aelmpvw]

g bush would probably of called him ozzie

[sandyRoe]

AOG, that's no problem. There's no need to apologise. Blood can easily get to near boiling point when we see the things we cherist ridiculed here in AB. Having said that, it would be a much duller place if we were all singing from the same hymn sheet.

The best mistake of this kind I think was when Ronald Reagan referred to the Princess of Wales as Princess David.

Confused Di with Dai , perhaps. ?
