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 bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
