I just think it's very interesting that when John is OTT cruel to Paul it's because he's completely obsessed with him, but when he's OTT cruel to Cynthia it's because she never mattered to him at all.
anyone else thinking about Miss Powell

Cynthia & John Lennon at the 5th National Jazz & Blues Festival in Richmond-upon-Thames, England | 8 August 1965
"The Richmond Jazz Festival, we went along to see The Animals, 'cause they were doing something new. They were singing with a big band backing them. But we never got to see it, 'cause we got attacked. As usual you know, big crowds. We thought it was going to be jazz fans, and they wouldn't bother us. But they weren't all jazz fans there." ~ John Lennon

“With his long hair, pointy shoes, pink shirt and yellow waistcoat, George made a habit of tagging along with John and Cynthia wherever they went.”
"It was on such days as these that John and I would leave the college portals hand in hand for an afternoon at the cinema or a bus ride to see Aunt Mimi in Woolton, just happy being in each other's company for a while. It wouldn't be for long, though. Wandering along lost to the world we would be brought down to earth with a bump by a piercing whistle or yell from behind us that could only mean one thing-
George.

'Hi John, Hi Cyn.' He would hurriedly catch up to us and then it would be, 'Where are you two off to? Can I come?' Neither of us would have the heart to tell this thin gangly kid in school uniform to push off. Poor George! He hadn't really got to the stage of serious girlfriends yet and was totally unaware of what it was all about, Alfie! So we would spend the lost afternoon as a jolly threesome, wondering what on earth we were going to do with ourselves."
