Ring any Bells? It’s an iconic album cover form the 70’s I often wondered why Houses of the Holy sold well in New Zealand

Have no idea who Blind Faith is. But as you said before "Many a lad celebrated Palm Sunday with Annabelle" so that in itself would suggest a level of inappropriateness. Any one who relied on the House Of The Holy album cover for a bit of self gratification in my view is extremely disturbed. But these are just my views. Have to admit I never knew she was only 14 when I first watched I Want Candy.

It was based on Arthur C Clarke’s Childhoods End but the shot was done for the album by Hypnosis. So 7-9 year old kids is acceptable, how about 11 year old Mariora Goschen on the Blind Faith album? Whilst I am no lawyer, I am pretty certain that Child Pornography laws applied to all children under 5e age of consent and not just ones over the age of 13 . Either the laws apply in every case, or not at all, and since Scotland Yard decided not to proceed with any prosecution it appears that no actual laws were broken.

Wasn't Houses Of The Holy cover from a Sci-fi movie or book? Children as opposed to a 14 year old girl is a bit different.

Lwin’s Mother forced Scotland Yard to investigate, Scotland Yard found nothing wrong / no laws broken. If anything the controversy increased album sales. if that was considered as child pornography, what about prior releases such as Blind Faith by Blind faith, or Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin , or subsequent such as Nevermind by Nirvana All contained naked underaged children, but no, go after Malcolm McLaren the nasty man who gave us the Sex Pistols

Didn't Scotland Yard launch an investigation? Given she was 14 years old at the time even these days it would be controversial.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten what triggered the current Gaza conflict.

Iran and Israel, who knows, both crazy. China wants or needs to try something regarding Taiwan, as their economy is supposedly in the shit and there could be domestic problems…Russia is like the USA, can’t really or doesn’t really want to accomplish an objective. Are there really any real super powers left?

Only in Prudish America, in Europe it didn’t bat an eyelid since it was based on a painting called “Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe” (Luncheon by the Lake) by Edouard Manet. But then again America goes batshit crazy when there is an accidental nipple flash during a half time superbowl show

But will it? Israel “Had” to strike back, but thy chose strategic targets, rather than go for population they struck here Iran Nuclear research centre is, sort of “We know what you are up to” I don’t think Iran will strike back agains Israel, they will I’ll blame those “Capitalist Pigs Americans” for supporting the “Yahud” and strike a base in Iraq in retaliation. They know Israel has their number, so to speak, so will do something symbolic to appease the masses. As for Russia, they are now into the 27th Month of an offensive that Putin said would take 10 days. If they are having such a problem against a rag tag army led by a comedian what chance do they have with the West? China has to do nothing, the US is already $850 Billion in debt to China and receives 18% of its imports from their, the US is a superpower in name only, and they know it. As for little missiles man firing off into the Pacific, let him carry on, the more missiles he wastes the less he has

This is why we need 'The Donald" back in office.

So while the Middle East explodes further, China and Russia and North Korea will make their. Move…the west will have to decide where to prioritize…WW3…good knowing you guys…

The Last of the Mohicans cover raised a few eyebrows But that summary pretty well sums it up. Doco goes into that.

Ahh Annabelle Lwin aka Myant Myant aye, only half Burmese, her mother is English. Many a lad celebrated Palm Sunday with Annabelle I have found out now that what American called New Wave is not what the UK did. In the UK new wave was and extension of late 70ls Punk until the early 80’s to be replaced by the smartly dressed Nancy boys with their coiffured hair know as the New Romantics. America didn’t get the memo and caught on in the early 80’s and labeled every synth pop tune as new wave and not New Romantic, typical yanks late to the party and get it all wrong. New Wave Music ,

This Town [2024 TV Series] An extended family and four young people are drawn into the world of ska and two-tone music, which exploded from the grass roots of Coventry and Birmingham in the late '70s and early '80s which united black, white and Asian youths. A lot of sub plots and goings on to follow in this edgy and exciting six part drama series with some excellent performances and soundtrack. No news on a second series coming but it deserves one.

Immaculate [2024] A woman of devout faith, is warmly welcomed to the picture-perfect Italian countryside where she is offered a new role at an illustrious convent. But it becomes clear that her new home harbors dark and horrifying secrets. Old school horror cliches saved with a solid lead who needs better scripts.

My sister in law got her (lower) lips trimmed, I sent her a card from a guy in the burns ward thanking her for the new ears.

Or you could be this guy

In the Maori language there's a phrase that sounds like "Kor Mea Hough" which means "I'm" or "this is" and is used before one's name, if you are a radio announcer or tv head. So Kor Mea Hough Mary Smith, sounds just like, Call me a Ho Mary Smith. Prolly only me that's noticed this.

There was a guy in the UK (Kenneth Kennard) who decided to adopt the middle name Fu and officially changed it. He thought it was hilarious until his passport application was rejected.

Fair enough but as mentioned before it is much more about the bands and there music. Even features a grown up Burmese girl 😃

Crowe is a knob. My ex actually worked in casting and after Romper Stomper cast him in The Some Of Us as the gay son. They laughed at her but she stood her ground. The rest is history. Agree about it's place now in the world we live. What's that 4 letter word they use these days? I really liked Amerikan History X which I thought was a much better movie but again these days
