8 APRIL 2004
Paul McCartney's wife Heather Mills is to appear in a new advertising campaign in the United States in an effort to curb the number of deaths on the roads.
The human rights campaigner is all too familiar with the terrible price of traffic accidents after losing her leg as the result of being hit by a police motorcycle in 1993. And 20 years previously her mother likewise had to have a leg amputated after a collision.
Heather is hoping her participation will help boost the World Health Organisation's new campaign to make roads safer. In the advertisements she appears without her prosthetic limb, in order to draw attention to the dangers of careless driving.
"It took one human error to take my leg and one human error to take my mother's," she says. "You really can fix this. It's just about more awareness."
According to the WHO, 1.2 million people die in road accidents each year, a figure that could rise to 2.3 million by 2020.

Okay. I didn't know her mom's leg was amputated too. What are the odds of that? Nanky? Come on...surely you can dig up something on this. So, what are little Beatrice's chances of losing a limb? |

i think it was very heartfelt and sweet that John Cougar Mellancamp wrote a song bout her. GeT a leg up! yeah, yeah!
Don't look at me, don't touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Don't get no funny ideas about me
Or you'll wish that you were dead
That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking
The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night
She gives me a look from the corner of her eye
That says, Boy, keep acting right.
How surprised was I
When she leaned over and whispered in my ear
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a lef up
What's the matter
Are you shy, shy, shy?
I'm pretty good with first impressions
But sometimes I'm not always right
I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road
To see what she had in mind
Want me to spend the night
Hey lover boy you know I will
And my best girlfriend down the road
Together we will thrill ya
And I'm thining to myself
I could be lucky Pierre tonight
If I could get a leg up
If I could get a leg over boy
You know I ain't that handsome
But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy
The rest of the night went on and on
And the moral to this song
Don't go making hasty judgments
Because sometimes they could be wrong
Nothing wrong with a good time
Just keep yourself protected, make a list
And you can bet your life that the women don't know
The little girrls are acting like this
So the next time a young one moves up
And she whispers in your ear
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
Now don't you be shy, shy, shy

From the Chairman :
" I remember John only as a great genius of the bass guitar. A true innovator who was still able to astound me with his dexterity and invention. Probably he was a better musician than I will ever be. I also genuinely loved him, he was a supporter and proper friend of mine from the age of 13. We first met even earlier than that. He was funny, generous and caring. We shared a great passion for dogs.
John, typically in very few words, thanked me lovingly recently for allowing him his dignity back by touring with the Who - the one place he really truly shone. I think in 1982 John was as relieved as I was that the Who were going to stop. He very much enjoyed working with his own band, and was always the most sociable and accessible member of the Who, he loved to mix with people and talk. However, recently all of us who worked with him, but who were unfortunately not close to him day by day were worried about his health. He was truly a very quiet and secretive man and none of us were entirely sure what was going on. It has emerged since his death that several people very close to John fought hard to help him - as I felt I did by touring with him. We are all still deeply shocked by our loss, and I think I can speak for many of us when I say that we are angry too. But it is an aimless and probably quite futile anger. For a while I was even angry with the Las Vegas hotel chain in which he died! I had to apologise to them too.
I am sorry this stuff keeps rearing its ugly head. Jimi Hendrix, Peter Meadon, Kit Lambert, Keith Moon, the Cincinnati Eleven, John Entwistle. I suppose we have to accept that everyone has to die in the end, but in every one of the cases above I have at some point said things in pain that I have later regretted.
John was a celebrity. He is still celebrated, and in and around the Who, as long as Roger and I continue to work under the Who name, he will be honoured. "

I STILL can't believe Paul and this chick had a CASH bar at their party for the announcment of their engagement.
The interest from the principal he inherited from Linda alone ($350 Mill US) would have paid for 1000 parties that day
And that's another thing. Why doesn't joey ever pick up a tab when we go out? What is with the alligator arms? |

For Gypsy :
I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.
I sometimes think I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory
that never forgets ;
I love to hear you say my name -- especially when you say YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got your body right now on my mind but I've drunk myself blind to the
sounds of " Old T-Rex " ........................
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!
The sweet sounds ............. of " Old T-Rex " ....................... AND ........... " Who's Next " ?!?!?!

Taking advantage of a thread with a name "For jb & joey (nsc)" I want to tell you both that I have received many complaints about the way you flood the board with emoticons, off-topics and irrelavant comments. So please consider those comments  |

None of that bothers me. It's those damned Who lyrics I'd like to see dropped. |

They were 4 or 5 different regulars, of course I cannot mention them neither here nor in private. I am just telling you this to you in order to consider that.
In my particular point of view I think that sometimes you switch the subject of one thread to a completly off-topic subject, and that sometimes the emoticons are funny but sometimes not |

I can't believe "regulars" who know Joey and I would do something like that...I am sorry they bothered you over such nonsense....You must have had to act concerned while thinking what "total losers" these whinners are. On beha lf of Joey and Myself, I want to thank you again for your unwavering support of our contributuions to the board.

Joshy, I haven't emailed him. But I might if the Who lyrics don't stop. That's my position & it's non-negotiable. |
