Old comment

Was it the Prime Minister or a different person also named Winston Churchill who Novello slept with? Apparently, there was a different person with that name, and a few sources say it was him and not Sir Winston.

Ewan MacColl

Someone wrote this:
"Ewan MacColl's song Ivor contrasts the supposedly favourable treatment of Novello with the harsher experience of ordinary prisoners." Is this true? What is the source? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:13, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the lyrics: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/song-midis/pdf/Ivor-lyrics.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1981Marcus (talk • contribs) 15:17, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I put the sentence in the Personal section. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Taken up

What is meant by "he was taken up by ... Marsh". A mentoring relationship, or something else? -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:06, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I rather think Eddy Marsh was one of those confirmed bachelors whose carnal instincts are never put into practice. He certainly seem to surround himself with attractive young men, not all of them conspicuously heterosexual, but I have not seen it stated anywhere that the bedroom played any part in his relationships. He certainly was a mentor, and a notable one, whatever else he was or wasn't. Tim riley (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to clarify this. See what you think. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is indupitably clarified, and decidedly improved thereby. You will rejoice to note that I substituted "received a rapturous ovation on his first entrance" for my earlier draft, "he got a warm hand on his entrance." Tim riley (talk) 22:38, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pub

There's a Wetherspoons pub on Cowbridge Road in Cardiff named the Ivor Davies, which uses a picture of him for its sign. It seems trivial but a similar note is made about a pub in the article about Larry Grayson. DewiMR (talk) 20:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If there's a newspaper article about it, you can mention it. See WP:V. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bobbie Andrews

The dates given for Bobbie Andrews on this page (1916-1951) do not match the dates on the Robert (Bobbie) Andrews page of 1895-1976. I've never edited a Wikipedia page so could someone else please look into this and sdo any changes they feel appropriate. Thanks 2.103.103.170 (talk) 20:33, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
