I am prepping a Nellcote presentation (in Norway) and came across a few dusty things that could be of interest to some? First off, here´s a photo of Nellcote right before Keith arrives. It shows the ‘Nellcote Jungle’ in great detail. 1. The gate 2. The staff house / Garage - where Keith parked (some of) his cars. This is the place drugs were found during the raid in December 1971. 3. The

It has probably been mentioned, but the "Happy" lyric is kind of reminiscent of "I Get a Kick out of You". And if you read that Cole Porter lyric, you can sort of see where Keith is headed with his, even though "Happy" is a piece of art on its own and open to individual interpretation. "I Get a Kick Out of You" I get no kick from champagne Mere a

QuoteManofwealthandtaste I believe it is only since the current owners took possession that a large blackout sheet has covered the gates. Prior to that it was possible to look through into the gardens and up the driveway. Yes, you are right, Manofwealthandtaste.
