I wonder where people stand on this rock-historical issue:

Do you think the Sex Pistols' "God Save The Queen" actually sold enough to get to No.1 but was prevented from doing so by some means or other?

Yes 64%
No 36%

Total Voters: 87

Poll closes: 23 May 2008 @ 16:00

Note that this isn’t the same as “Should it be covered on Popular?” I’ll make that decision when the time comes (or may have already made it!).

Too early! I played it at the one at the Polar Bear later on and it got some solid pogoing going.

I’m tempted somewhat by this four-song-set deal at CP next week but really we’re talking non-stop Scooter all round aren’t we?

I remember being very drunk at a party near Sloane Square in the late 70s, I was having a piss when someone put on GSTQ so I zipped up, went racing into the living room and starting jumping around like an idiot, in the process knocking over some Australian student who proceeded to get very aggressive offer me “outside” for a fight. Ah, them were the days.

I assume you promptly took Skippy to school, Lee?!

Ah…I’ve heard it all before Lee, he told Mark McManus he was his forever kangaroo, do you remember?

Christ, Lee. You bottle job! NO FUTURE FOR YOUUUU!!!!!! And another thing, you should never have zipped up before leaving the bog. The correct punk response would have been to steam back to the living room, tool in hand and finish your slash there…ALL OVER THAT AUSSIE LURKER’S FUCKING SHOES!!!!!!!

Honestly, this is how Chelsea fans talk when they get together…

I did once actually have a piss all over a friend of mine who was passed out drunk in the back garden at another party. How punk rock is that?

I remember at about this time being on a tube waiting to leave Brixton, which is a terminus on the Victoria Line. A large woman (African rather than West Indian) was sat diagonally opposite me. There were about five of us in the carriage and we had admittedly been waiting longer than expected for the tube to shift. Much more unexpected, though, was when the lady in question suddenly left her seat, walked to the still open doorway, pulled up her drawers, crouched down and contributed a piss puddle the size of a duckpond before returning to her seat and sitting down. Simply marvellous! My own special place, in common with most bladdered up lads, was the good old red phone box, always ready and reliable. From Nine Elms down to Clapham I must have played them all.

Happy Days!

I made it a point to know where the Gents was in every pub, cafe and fast food joint in the West End so if ever I got caught short I could go straight in and make a beeline right for it like I was a regular punter.

Though I did once have a pee on the top deck of a bus.

This conversation has taken a very strange turn…

I fell down a Pinkees rabbit-hole this evening and while I doubt anyone cares to continue the discussion about whether “Danger Games” was hyped or not thirteen years on, it’s worth noting that while it was number 8 in the BMRB chart, it was number 75 in the Sounds Chart.

That doesn’t conclusively prove that something fishy was going on, but I think we’d struggle to find a bigger placement difference between rival charts.
