"You take the good-looking one. I'll get the drinks."

A picture of Miles Davis and Steve McQueen probably just about trumps most celebrity pairings. Unless, of course, you could get Jamie Cullum and Hugh Jackman together. But what were these two titans of cool talking about? Was it an opportunity to exchange swordmanship tips? The chance to compare charisma with another icon? A discussion about motorbikes? Got any more?

Rest in peace
Michael.

...dead?
Fab five
Ali & Lennon: The Rematch
I never realised Robert Smith had met Muhammed Ali
I see your Dylan/Ali pic and raise you this...
Miles Davis to Steve McQueen
"you just put your lips together and blow...!"
I think this might be a charisma null sum!
also is there a bad picture of steve Macqueen?
It's that man Savile again...
...with a bunch of chancers.
Dear god
is that actually a yeti costume, or just what he was wearing that day?
I think that might actually be...
...Jimmy au naturel. Normally, he'd have the decency to hide his hirsuteness beneath a velour tracksuit.
Nah, that's just a cotton suit from M&S.
It's just that Lennon had locked him in a tumble dryer overnight and filled it full of shillings.
are sure he hasn't been tar and feathered
I think alfred hitchcock is in charge of the lynch mob he's entertaining the gang with his Frankie Howerd inpression before railroading Jimmy out of town on a rail.
Jimmy Saville
is a fascinating character; there's more to him than you'd think. Deserving of a big in-depth article in The Word - what say you, Mr. Hepworth?
Totally agree
David'll...
fix it.
It seems Jim still has his fans, as this online store proves...

Hmmmm...
... I suspect a lot of writers are awaiting Mr Saville's passing before putting pen to paper so to speak.
Flippin eck
is that Fraser Lewry modelling the latest in kitchen fashion? I think we should be told.

Now
there's no need to get nasty.
A cosy tête à tête
about preposterous religious conversions?
Eamonn Forde tweeted recently that the most noteworthy thing about Bob Dylan these days is probably his nose. I now see what he means. What's it made of - molten wax? Note also the Malden twin-glob bifurcation that's developing at the tip.
Malden twin-glob bifurcation
Did you nick that from a Fall lyric?
controversial statement coming right up!
one of these two can still sing a bit but prefers to lip synch a lot. the other thinks they can still sing live but can't really.
Eric Sykes' autobiography...
...has a photo of him with both Muhammad Ali and Jimmy Edwards which probably trumps anything which could ever be posted here. Regrettably, it doesn't seem to be on the web so here's a picture of Elvis Presley (in the doorway) and John Lennon (in the white trousers).
There's always these two...

...share a joke.

Old doe eyes is back....
But who persuaded him to wear that literalist jumper?
All three sets of eyes follow you round the room...
It's probably an xmas pressie from Linda.
Do you think that Bryan's pointing at it in disgust?
Well,
I don't suppose he's trying to pinch it.
Not Third Reich enough.

Okay, then.
I thought I was just harmlessly contributing to the spirit of the thread, but if it really offends you that much then fuck it.
