I had a T-shirt with a young John Rotten holding a wine glass with a caption saying "Have a rotten Xmas". I wore it Xmas day 2005 the partner and the Mother-in-law hated it. I put it in the wash the day after and mysteriously it was never seen again.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 6:52pmI had, and have, so many of those kinds of shirts.

Ha! The mysterious black hole of the washer and dryer claims more than socks. My favourite Sex Pistols, which I wore until it quite literally frayed away, was the cover of this boot:Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 10:51amI had a T-shirt with a young John Rotten holding a wine glass with a caption saying "Have a rotten Xmas".

Absolutely loved it and wish I could get another one.

I've got a fair few books by Savage. I like his writings just not his bending of the facts at times. However I don't like him.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 11:03amOof—now that's dark humour.Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 10:40amI've ordered the special edition copy.

I do like England's Dreaming for its argument. I've read his book Teenage but remember nothing of it. I've also leafed thru his book that's a collection of smaller pieces.Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 11:13amI've got a fair few books by Savage.

Well, I don't think he's wrong. Labour turning away from the working class and towards the smug "we know better" professional, cosmopolitan class made it easier for right-wing faux populism to make inroads into the working class. Like with Trump, these are disasters that have multiple parents.Enjoy.

Still haven't watched it, so I can't speak directly to it, but from the non-Limey perspective, the "proper English" accent always sounds pompous, like you're being condescended to.Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 12:29pmJon comes across as very genuine yet he also seems very pompous to me.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
That 'propet English' you speak of doesnt come from the so called working class. Jon mentions his posh accent in the video. But I've no problem with his class just his manner.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 12:43pmStill haven't watched it, so I can't speak directly to it, but from the non-Limey perspective, the "proper English" accent always sounds pompous, like you're being condescended to.Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Mar 2019, 12:29pmJon comes across as very genuine yet he also seems very pompous to me.
