In her study of Beatles historiography, historian Erin Torkelson Weber suggests that it reinforced perceptions of Lennon as "the smart one" of the group, and that the band's first film A Hard Day's Night further emphasised that view. [36]

John would write what Sean had said underneath the drawings as titles. They became long, beautiful, and imaginative titles. Sometimes, John would ask Sean what he thought John was drawing. Sean would say, “That’s a horsey.” and that would become the title of John’s drawing. They would make each other laugh, and that was how Sean learned the fun of drawing, the fun of doing things together with his dad, and the fun of life. In The Beatles: The Authorised Biography, Lennon stated: "I was in a blind rage for two years. I was either drunk or fighting. There was something the matter with me". [177] In his 1980 interview with Playboy, he said that "hitting females is something I'm always ashamed of and still can't talk about – I'll have to be a lot older before I can face that in public, about how I treated women as a youngster".

While the success of In His Own Write pleased Lennon, [18] he was surprised by both the attention it received and its positive reception. [117] In a 1965 interview, he admitted to purchasing all the books that critics compared to his, including one by Lear, one by Geoffrey Chaucer and Finnegans Wake by Joyce. He further stated that he did not see the similarities, except "[perhaps] a little bit of Finnegans Wake ... but anybody who changes words is going to be compared". [118] In a 1968 interview, he said that reading Finnegans Wake "was great, and I dug it and felt as though [Joyce] was an old friend", though he found the book difficult to read in its entirety.

That seems pretty strong circumstantial evidence to place the origin of the phrase in New Zealand in 1828. To throw a spanner in the works is to, deliberately or otherwise, cause disruption; to interfere with the smooth running of something. What's the origin of the phrase 'Throw a spanner in the works'?

THIS IS MY STORY BOTH HUMBLE AND TRUE During the debate, Curran's fellow Conservative MP Norman Miscampbell responded to the complaints. Disputing that Lennon was poorly educated, he described the Beatles on the whole as "highly intelligent, highly articulate and highly engaging", and added that it would be wrong to assume their success "came from anything other than great skill".
