Ozzy the softie? - Aug 05
Let’s face it: "Brum’s favourite son" Ozzie Osbourne has been softened up. His swearing, once shocking, is now funny. His children, once funny, are now boring. His wife appeals to mum’s everywhere in adverts for ASDA. It’s worth reminding ourselves, then, as to what Ozzie said the day after he put a would-be burglar in a headlock: "I thought for a mad split second, ’I could snap your neck like a straw and let you fall and say it was an accident" No bum slapping there then.
