Thank you, @Mr. Kite. I’ll keep that question along “With the recipe for a lovely day Sticking out of my back pocket.”

Maybe he is both and neither.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, apologies if it has (i did a search and nothing came up).

Paul will be doing another Q&A on twitter tomorrow (Monday 20th October), the time is still to be confirmed and you can tweet possible questions to be put to Paul (hopefully more interesting and meaty than the monthly ‘Ask Paul’).

To submit your questions (there is no limit to how many you can ask) just post them to Twitter using the hashtag #askPaul. We’ll be collecting our favourites over the coming days and closer to Monday let you know what time he’ll be online.

Some fun answers (click on the date to see the full exchange):

 (but did he tweak while twerking?)

 

And a nod to Appreciate:

*sigh*

 

More to come over the next few days, they say.

What boggles my mind, is how you can ask Paul, when you can ask him pretty much everything you want, which is his favourite cheese. Seriously? You can ask the man everything you want and you just want to know what his favourite cheese is?

Is there anything someone has teased you about in the past that REALLY hurt your feelings? Is that wound still open and festering or is it just a scar now?

…and, do you know if Nancy has started writing Fifty Shades of Violent Chestnut? I so want to read that book. a-hard-days-night-paul-7

You’ll just have to read this one while you wait!

If I spoke prose you'd all find out, I don't know what I talk about.

Is there a song that you wish The Beatles had covered? One that you wish you could pull out the vinyl and give a spin right now?

If you had foreseen cd’s and digital music, would you have changed the running order of any of The Beatles albums? None of this so-in-so opens or closes a side or George gets one song per side type of thinking.

What was the journey from anonymity to fame and then iconic superstardom actually like?

How difficult is it when millions of strangers have unrealistic expectations of you?

Do you enjoy fame or can it be a burden?

How much do you regret your mother not living to see the way your life turned out?

Tell me about your dad.

After the dust had settled and enough time had passed, is it likely that you and John would have got together to write songs again?

When you look back at the Beatles now, do you remember the good times and push the more difficult times to one side?

In your career, and in your life, what was the best time?

Are you aware how genuinely grateful people are to The Beatles; how their lives were transformed by the band, how society changed as a result of its being, and how they just want to say to you, quite humbly – thank you?

 

I’ll get this round – what are you having?

No worries about posting a question that has been asked before in this thread. It is about the questions you would ask him so repeat questions are fine.

Having said that, if you want to have a fun read, do go back through this thread from the beginning. a-hard-days-night-paul-7

Paul, what is in your unmentionables drawer? (A question inspired by @trcanberra LOL)
