Uh oh, Ringo

I'm no expert, but something tells me Ringo Starr is back on the gear.

Now you may think that's a stupid statement given the fact the bloke's spent the best part of the last 20 years voicing a bug-eyed blue train, but really, something's up.

Ringo's released a bizarre video message, outlining his strict new "No Fan Mail" policy. Apparently the drummer is sick and tired of signing records/tickets/posters/breasts for Beatles fans. It seems the volume is so great, he couldn't even get by with a little help from his friends.

...Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ringo begins his video by wishing all of his fans "peace and love, peace and love". He then goes on to tell them in no uncertain terms to f*** off out of his mailbox. It's a shame, because I had a parcel of old Beatles memorabilia just about ready to go out for autograph. Just lucky I hadn't spent the cold hard cash on stamps, I guess. Now I can buy that Chupa Chup I always wanted.

But seriously, who does that? Fair enough, he gets a lot of mail. Can't he employ someone? A forger, to copy his signature? Or get a stamp made up?

I think it's a sign that Ringo might be back on the Yellow Submarine, if you know what I mean.
