Birmingham thinking of naming airport Ozzy Osbourne Airport.

Considering ‘Paranoid’ is the only song 85% of the population know of his, it’s not a great name for an airport.
They could use his initials like ‘JFK’ I suppose - but ‘OO’ airport doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
Wonder what his middle name is?

I think its a great idea, after all there is a John Lennon airport 👍

He was born John Michael Osbourne

He was, but nobody would know who the John Michael airport was named after, ozzys airport however👍🎵

I think its a great idea, after all there is a John Lennon airport 👍

And George Best, JFK, numerous others.
Great idea.

Although I realise that Ozzy was a well loved musician and TV personality I presonally don't think he can be compared to John Lennon or even George Best ( who was not a model of decorum despite being a gifted footballer).

I am beginning to get tired of the constant media bombardment around this man. In his own words, he isn't 'coming back' so can't we just let him rest in peace?

Yes we can let him rest in peace, he may not be your cup of tea, but he was well loved by many,

Osborne Airport has a nice ring to it, they should go for it.

Well we already have Ozzy the bull, Ozzy the tram and the Black Sabbath bench here. I think that's enough. Much as I liked Ozzy, he wasn't in the same league as Lennon or Best.

I like ELO, so how about combining the two, ELO Osborne Airport? Or Osborne ELO Airport....
May Ozzy rest in peace. I liked him.

I don't think any of them are a good idea.

An airport should denote the name of the place where it is situated. It's pandering to popular culture and just ridiculous.

Cadbury Airport anyone?

I was just being light-hearted....

I know, I'm being grumpy!

That's ok then...
Anyway, you're right. Airports should be named for location.

Seriously?!!!!!!

If they do that - then I will be referring to it as "Wife Beater Airport"....

Did he not hit his wife.have affairs and take drugs ?

I saw her interviewed on TV and say that Ozzie tried to strangle her one time.

Seriously?!!!!!!

If they do that - then I will be referring to it as "Wife Beater Airport"....

Or Headless Bat Airport.

Prince of Darkness airport would probably put everyone off flying from there

Seriously?!!!!!!

John Lennon was as bad, he could be violent, rude, and took a lover.

Slade were from Birmingham and I was much more into them than Black Sabbath though I have great respect for the Sabbath’s music.
So how about Noddy airport??
After the great and thankfully not yet late Noddy Holder 🤣

Yes I agree. Please fasten your seatbelts we will soon be landing at Noddy airport.

Watching it on the News. Sharon is so frail. 😔
