OK, let's talk about capital sins now.
As we all know, Mr. Jeffrey Lynne has countless possitive atributes, has lived innumerable enviable situations and has had many great things in the past, if he still doesn't have them in the present. Of all those, what is it that you envy most?

I'd say having the opportunity to meet his idols and end up counting a lot of them as friends. And then being able to spend all day, every day doing exactly what he likes (ie recording music) with no pressure to produce to a deadline, just for his own enjoyment mostly.
Living the dream! smiley-cool15

Looking good for his age and having a full head of hair which hasn't gone grey  |

Honestly, aside from his ability to grow epic facial hair, his impeccable sense of melody. He can take chords and turn them into the most gorgeous thing you've ever heard. It's a gift that lots of songwriters don't have.

Yeah, I'm closer to what Chippa envies him: his outstanding songwriting ability. The guy was born with an innate sense of harmony. He creates beautiful melodies and then he gets the perfect chords to make them even more beautiful. If I could write something like "The way life's meant to be", to name one of dozens, I would be incredibly happy and pleased with myself.
Also, his hair at that age. I'd be happy to reach my late 60s with 50% of the hair he still has, so I also envy him becaue of that.
Huh, and last but not least, his romance with Rosie Vela.

I was with you until that last bit, Helmut... I'd bet Horacewimp also envies that to a certain extent... Hey, now that the other head of the monster is gone it looks like the one who is still here one is twice as fierce! |

No, I think he is above such things and sees the Vela for the scheming bimbo she really is *convinced*

Hhhmmm, I wouldn't be so sure, but if he answers otherwise, then I'll be sure his answer was affected by intimidation.

After a few pints with my mates Rosie would be a challenge  To be honest I never really liked her hair it was like a horses mane. |

Hahaha...  you are a demanding guy, Horace! But I think it's OK, we should value ourselves and not just go ahead with anyone. However, did you ever caress a horse? It can be a wonderful experience. BSJ, what is it that you envy most of Jeff Lynne? |

The days of caressing horses are behind me, I promised the farmer I wouldn't do it again  |

@hulmut83, everyone has hit on what I envy about the old coot. I really can't add anything. |

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
