I find it interesting for one musical artist to have celebrated his birthday there, yet there is no mention of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern- schplenden- schlitter- crasscrenbon- fried- digger- dingle- dangle- dongle- dungle- burstein- von- knacker- thrasher- apple- banger- horowitz- ticolensic- grander- knotty- spelltinkle- grandlich- grumblemeyer- spelterwasser- kurstlich- himbleeisen- bahnwagen- gutenabend- bitte- ein- nürnburger- bratwustle- gerspurten- mitz- weimache- luber- hundsfut- gumberaber- shönedanker- kalbsfleisch- mittler- aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm, after all ...

I suppose the town may not give adequate representation to Herr Gambolputty de von Ausfern Schplenden schlitter Crasscrenbon fried digger dingle dangle dongle dungle burstein von knacker thrasher Apple banger Horowitz Ticolensic Grander Knotty Speltinkle Grandlich Grumblemeyer Spelterwasser Kurstlich Himbleeisen Bahnwagen Gutenabend bitte ein Nürnberger Bratwustle Gerspurten mitz Weimache luber Hundsfut guberaber Schönendanker Kalbsfleisch Mittler Aucher Von Hautkopft of Ulm... but it's imperative to any serious artist to give credit where credit is due.

But for all I know, Freddie probably hadn't even heard of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern. ....

Haha, thumbs up for a bit of Python.

Incontinentia Buttocks.

matt z, I start to get your sense of humour.
Boys, did English people speak English in a strange way ;)

munich: your photos were downloaded >300 times. I was silly to be afraid that Queen was popular no more.

Hey... isn't that Winnie Kirchberger on the pic. Freddie's lover before Jim.

^ Yes it is Mr. Winfried Kirchberger on the picture ( small Photo) former owner of the "Sebastianseck" in Munich and Freddie`s "Munich-Lover"

She's fine, thanks.

Freddie is already wearing the ring that Jim gave to him. He also wears it at Live Aid in July but not at the Tokyo Shows in May.
That means that Jim gave the Ring to Freddie at a time when Freddie was still going out with Winnie?

Just my two cents

Cheers

I seem to remember Jim gave it to him later on, but I might be wrong. I'm pretty sure Jim mentioned it in his book.

I've just read Phoebes book so far. No mention of the ring there.
Its just a footnote but quite an interesting one ??

Just like I`ve said, Winfried was Freddie`s Munich Lover - not his ONLY Lover. It is well reported by locals that they had huge fightings in their relationship - non verbal - because W.K. doesn`t speak a word of English :)

I just browsed through Mercury and Me. Jim gave Freddie a ring for his 40th birthday in September 1986. It's also mentioned that to find out his ring size Jim tried on an old ring that Winnie had given Freddie. Maybe that's the one Freddie can be seen wearing before Jim's ring. Jim also said that Freddie always wore the ring he gave him around the house, but usually slipped it off when leaving the house.
