Its a job to believe that Ringo is that old, considering that he and Paul McCartney are the only serving Beatles.

Oooh, I wonder if he’ll be going to Rufus’ birthday party!

It is hard to believe isn’t it. 78 is pushing 80!

I used to think Ringo was lovely when I was 14!, Happy birthday to him x

Couple of months older than me. I try not to think of it as “pushing 80” NfkDumpling?. Head in sand etc

OMG it is 'orrible when you read something like this about a popstar you knew as a teenager as it makes you realise you are ageing too!!!!

kittylester Sun 08-Jul-18 08:26:31

Well, I refuse to believe it!

kittylester - what a positive (if totally bonkers) response.

Not only is Ringo 78, he is exactly a year older than Michael Howard! I though he was about 106 ten years ago!!!

I knew he was the oldest Beatle but didn’t realise he was that old!

kitty, please refuse to believe that I'm just 4 months younger than Ringo.

Funny how the one who was the least good looking has aged in a way that makes him look younger and better looking than Paul, who was my favourite.

Happy Birthday, Ringo. Peace and Love. grin

I agree Merlot in fact baby faced men always seem to age badly.
He always had a GSOH I thought, and more sense than the others.
Happy Birthday Ringo, if you are reading Gransnet today!

anno, of course I don't believe it. That is a ridiculous thing to say and utter nonsense. grin

I never really liked Ringo and I was shockcd when he said he would sign no more memorabilia. Peace and love indeed!

Was listening to him on a TV chat show not long ago. My, my....doesn’t he love himself ?

I knew he was the oldest Beatle but didn’t realise he was that old!

John would have been 78 too this year, on 9th October sad

kittylester Sun 08-Jul-18 16:02:33

I don't believe that either Jane, the very idea!
