6pence paper, back then.

“Fat and Forty”, “His overeating made him a tragic sight”

So the Sun being absolute trash isn’t just a recent thing, then?

I'd say so too as to the Sun being trash Jake.

agreed, they were a rude and trash paper those times too :skull:

[Cherie]

Never thought of him being 42 when he died, it’s very young

A headline about a Duchess, wonder who that was about

...I don’t know but looking at the date... I think it might have been ‘what’ it was about, rather than ‘who‘...The Duchess of Duke Street would be my guess at what it refers to and something about that... as it was a hugely popular 1977 TV series...

It's owned by a scumbag so I expect no less from them really.

Who the hell eats while sitting on the toilet D:

Now I'm sometimes in there for a while when I'm laying a good old pipe-blocker, but I wouldn't bring food with me!!

Dead right, good description Mock.

Did you see the whole thing there? We got the most basic tour which was still about $50 and even then the attendant said 'you don't see Elvis with this price, you only see a house' as she tried to upsell us the 70 dollar 'standard' tour

We went there last year....my husband is a massive Elvis fan. He was a legend. My husband gave the tour guide a run for his money...The museum has had a massive make over. The house was surprisingly small for what you would expect.
We loved every minute of our visit....

But it was really interesting and quirky, it had masses of character , not not just some bland celebrity mansion

Oh it was very quirky....

Think you just get more information on him as a person, see some more of his personal items etc and you see his cars which weren't included in ours, maybe a proper tour guide as well whereas ours was just an audio tour

Yeah it is quite small but every room was so different and so much thought had gone into each one, I hadn't really expected much but was really impressed

[Niamh.]

Oh I think we saw the cars alright but only had the head phone tour thing

Actually Memphis in general was one of my favourite parts of our trip, the live music in the bars was excellent plus we went to a basketball game which was brilliant, the atmosphere was something else

We started from New Orleans which was a cool place although we found the Main Street pretty tacky...went to Memphis then on to Chattanooga then to Atlanta. Great trip.

Grizzlies game? We went to see them play as well and it was a really cool experience although they lost by one point :fist: had a really good night after as well (from what I remember :skull:), some people had told me Beale Street was a bit **** but we had a great time on it

Ah I loved New Orleans, it is a bit seedy in places but I've never experienced anything like it for a party city. We were there on a Sunday and Monday night so weren't sure how busy it would be but the whole of Bourbon Street was jam packed still with stuff just going on everywhere, we were there a few days after Mardis Gras but half the city still seemed to be celebrating it lol

We also did Little Rock, Dallas, Austin, Houston in an RV and then flew to San Francisco

Sounds amazing we want to visit that side of USA and Vegas, but everything is on hold now :sad:

What did you think of Austin? That was the last leg of ours and I was a little disappointed by it although it was probably the place we saw the least of. We had a bit of a brutal 9 hour drive there from New Orleans so got there late on our first night and just had one more after that. We also had our worst accommodation there which didn't help

We had a really good time in the day going to this ramshackle shooting range just outside the city though :hee:

[Niamh.]

Austin was actually my favourite of the 3 Texas stops, we went to the GP there and i found the place to have a much different vibe to the other cities in Texas, I'm not sure how to describe it, it was cooler or something [emoji41]

Never thought of him being 42 when he died, it’s very young

A headline about a Duchess, wonder who that was about
