I mean back when his hair didn’t look like he smeared black shoe polish in it in a misguided attempt to cover the gray.

They win nothing but a hideously ugly trophy. Heather Mills is donating her appearance fee.  
[/QUOTE]  
Ah. Well, now I’m even less impressed by that gesture. I think people usually get around 10 grand for appearing on reality shows. I’m sure she won’t miss it.

Aw, that’s cute. :rolleyes: Does she have her eye on any other 65 year old men? Do people really refer to him as Sir Paul?  
[/QUOTE]

Obviously. I realize this grates if you come from a country where people don’t get to be head of state because of who their father was 😛 but most of us don’t resent the fact that Sir Paul has a title as well as an unfeasible amount of money.

I’ve only ever seen his hair as sort of salt-and-pepper, never smeared black. That said, he still has hair, a nice smile and his boyish figure. Still cute, I reckon.
