I just got to know that Robin seems to love mystery ... or at least loved it back in time.

On the Gibbs' long voyage home from Australia 'mysterious poems began to appear on the notice-board of the day's activities. Intrigued passengers would gather each day to read the latest work of the phantom poet of the Fairsky.Watching from the distance as they speculated on the poet's identity was the phantom himself, , who composed the nonsense poems on a portable typewriter in his cabin. (from an unauthorized biography)

Wondering if some of them have survived.

I would love to see!!!!!!!!!

Oh! Most definitely, maybe they'll be seen in Robin's autobiography !

I would be most happy to find out whether they are at least mentioned.

So there is only one star that struck Altiyan Childs ... now guess who that is?

Good choice, little monster!

Wow!! That would be really great.

Interesting to

Cardiologists (and the Bee Gees) have been wrestling with this question for years ...

A witty approach to a serious subject.

Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition brought on by stressful situations, such as the death of a loved one. People with broken heart syndrome may have sudden chest pain or think they're having a heart attack. These broken heart syndrome symptoms may be brought on by the heart's reaction to a surge of stress hormones. In broken heart syndrome, a part of your heart temporarily enlarges and doesn't pump well, while the remainder of the heart functions normally or with even more forceful contractions.

The condition was originally called takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Today, it's also referred to as stress cardiomyopathy, stress-induced cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome.

The symptoms of broken heart syndrome are treatable, and the condition usually reverses itself in about a week.

Great Sgt. Pepper pic anyway .

What is this?

i love the picture, it's beautiful and our sweet Robin is sexy in it

Beats me , a BG Alert with a great picture !

Yes, but which song is Billy trying to play? The picture is not really helpful as to finding out.

, certainly it wasn't a Bee Gee song I could discern LOL!!!

Keeping their fingers on the pulse of time.

Apropos of pulse ... How about celebrating the 50th Anniversary by doing some aerobics? Listen into this unique item (suited for step, low impact and body workout!)

I think I need to add it to my basket , I need such a workout!!!

Do you know the answer?

What does Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees have in common with Charles Dickens?

I don't know the answer but I figured that Robin contacted them because of his love of history, and Charles Dickens is a part of that. Can you add anything to that?.

I think they both survived a train crash.

But I do like the answer 'great expectations for saturday night'.
