My cynicism aside I too am going to make the effort to go. Not least because as a teenager growing up in SA if you had told me that one day I would get the chance to go a sex pistols gig I would never have believed you in a million years.

What?s wrong with flared trousers? I have a pair that I?m saving specially for the forum party on Friday! I never got the opportunity to wear them in the 70s and feel I missed out.


Anyway in 1990 when I was a morose teenager a kind family friend gave me a much listened to record in a tatty sleeve. It was called Never Mind the Bollocks and it had a major influence on how my musical tastes developed.

I was 19 in '77 and never got to see them at the time and I loved 'em when they came out. Never Mind The Bollocks is a phenomenal album. They were like a breath fresh air after all that boring prog shit that went before them. I got to see them in '96 in Finsbury Park though and believe me they were magnificent. I'm definitely up for seeing them again.

John Lydon's a great front man and always good for a laugh. I don't care if people think it's some sort of nostalgia trip for old punks. They were the only real punk band that mattered. They gave the music business a hugely deserved kick up the arse and are culturally vitally important to those times. They were it. So bollocks! I'm gonna get tickets if I can.

I was contemplating it and now that I?ve heard you say they were that good in ?96 I?m definitely going to.


So in the words of Fat Mike; ?Call me fat fuck geriatric punk rock. Give me stickers I deserve.?


? Even thought the only thing I did in ?77 was get born.

I daresay the Pistols' original fans are now working in the city and earning big bonuses.


The Thursday night gig in Brixton has sold out on pre-sale on both Ticketmaster and Ticketweb. My gut feeling is that Friday and Saturday nights will be added very quickly - so don't panic. There will be a frenzy tomorrow morning at 9.00am when the tickets go on sale - but don't waste your energy. Keep hitting "refresh" on your PC and hold out for the Friday and Saturday night gigs.


If you want to check the presale to see if more tickets are added today then go to www.ticketmaster.co.uk - the presale password is "Vacant".

Thanks for the info update on this though giggirl. I'm hoping for Saturday night tickets if they materialise.

Well there is no one booked at Brixton on the Friday or Saturday so they are leaving it open as a possibility.


Friday or Saturday would be better. How glaringly un-punk is that? I am worried about having to go to work the next day with a hangover.

John Lydon has turned into a panto dame, or one of the ugly sisters from Cinders!! I can't take the guy seriously, this bloke was lambasting everything and everyone and now he lives in LA LA land!!! Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!!

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
