Mark's home has been burgled....

[Saitek]

The bad news has just been reported.
I would like to be the first to send my condolences to both Mark and his wife ( oh and his wee lassie).
I'm not quite sure why Mark has all this jewellery, but there we are.

I can't believe John has been burgled! He is a really nice bloke, and actually lives just down the road from my mum! I know him, not well but I had a couple of jars with him once. Really nice guy, apart from the time he woke up in Amersham cop-shop after getting plastered and trying to kill Sharon

Mark, is Ozzy's real name John?  Too strange...Sarah and I were just wondering what his real name is over the weekend.

Aye John Osbourne. Born in Birmingham!!!
Oh and he REALLY hates chickens But he has a pet pig

Your live by the Oz man himself?

That must be insane, how do you deal with all the media fools and stuff hanging around hoping for some sort of story?

[ozzy72]

Actually there isn't much trouble at all. Mind you for a long time John was living the quiet life (apart from the chicken episode), and media trying to get access to his place would have a lot of trouble, as there is a small road into where he lives and they couldn't park there, and the local police love an easy collar

So face up to it... did you name yourself Ozzy72 after the guy because your surname is Osbourne?

I thought that was a bat...  :)

That bat was on stage many years ago.
The chicken thing was more recent! Sharon (Mrs. O) got a load of chickens and had a chicken shed put in the back garden. Turns out John had worked in a chicken factory (before he was famous, and he'd developed a real hang-up about poultry) and when he got home from a tour discovered the said chickens!
He then proceeded to kill them with a gun, until he ran out of shotgun cartridges, then he got a sword and started to kill them that way. One escaped and he was chasing it across the lawn wearing only his boxer shorts.
So you have to imagine him running across his garden with a large sword above his head like a Saracen on a mission, when his boxers decide to proceed to his ankles. Somehow he didn't trip up, and then a friend of my mums (who is his next door neighbour) pops her head over the hedge and says "Oh hello John I heard you were back from your tour....... I see you're just busy relaxing?"

Ps. Ben EVERY Osborne/Osborn/Osbourne/Osbourn is called Ozzy, I was called it at school, as was my father, and even my grandfather
