On this day in 1979, 21-year-old punk legend and Sex Pistols bass player Sid Vicious – passed away following an alleged heroin overdose in New York.

 Has it really been 37 years?

  2. I was not old enough to remember what I was doing when JFK died but I was in the record department (remember those) in Woolies on Oxford Street when we heard on the news that Sid had passed. We all went a bit mental and ended up in the nearest pub which was full to the door with punks and skins hammering on the bar for a drink. I still can’t believe it’s been 37 years already. Will raise a glass (or three) at the same pub tonight if it’s still there. RIP Sid keep giving them hell you really did do it your way X

  4. We are all at ‘That age’ now Jimmy. A Nice tribute to the forever young Sid Vicious. I wonder if a certain John Lydon will make an appearance on the BBC. RIP.

  5. I’m scratching my old brain cells here but I’m sure I have read an online report that he was murdered for some reason. Can’t recall the source (not of importance to me at the time) or the details, but it quoted some convincing evidence. Something to do with another person in the place where he took his “overdose”.

      1. No, it was, IIRC, an older guy who was a dealer, but there was a suggestion of cover-up or lack of a true investigation by the cops. As I say, it was a while ago that I read it.

  6. I read somewhere that Mick Jagger put up Sid’s bail money when he was arrested for murder in New York

  7. If Sid hadn’t met Nancy Spunkbubble he may not have got hooked on smack & ended up dead at 21.

    It could have been worse if he was still alive and was doing I’m a celebrity or butter adverts like that fat fucker John Rotten.

    1. Can you make that the last time you post Sorcha Faal links here please OG.

      It’s one of the most blatantly obvious disinformation sites online – and the Outlaw wants no connection with it in any way, shape or form.

      Any other links are fine.

      Cheers.

      1. OK. NO MORE SORCHA FAAL; BUT HAVE A READ OF THIS. UNDERSTAND I’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE HILLARY EMAIL SAGA RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT IT BROKE OUT. THAT’S WHY I DECIDED THE S.F. ARTICLE COULD WELL BE TRUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE ALL WESTERN MEDIA APPEAR TO BE UNDER ORDERS TO SMEAR & ATTACK RUSSIA & PUTIN:-

        1. If you can find anything solid regarding the rumours of ‘Vote Rigging’ in IOWA where Hilary scraped through as the democrat nominee earlier this week, that would be useful OG.

          1. Well yes; I did come across a post about this involving a c-span video, but I didn’t post it because I never thought for one moment it would be of interest to you or any other Brits.

            IIRC it involved the incorrect counting of delegates at the Iowa caucus, such that Bernie’s delegates were counted only once But Hillarie’s were counted more than once. In some cases, twice. It was a c-span video. I’ll try to find it, (Do forgive my negligence & failure to realise your deep interest in this matter which I had never before suspected)

          2. The Outlaw has a large and regular American readership OG, and as many of us of a certain age are only too aware of, when America catches a cold, the UK and Europe start sneezing soon after.

        2. OG, Larry Nichols the old Clinton insider has a very interesting take on Hillary’s E-Mails. I don’t know if he’s truthful or not because he is a bad un too. Quite surprised they would let him live tbh.

  11. Would the last person in Sydney please turn the lights out?

    1. Following on from OG’s post about Sydney being beaten to a pulp by the PC fun bashers stick, which is really sad to learn, it was once such an amazing vibrant, fun place to be – at least they are not being held to ransom by the bleating mass of ‘asylum seekers’ who seem to believe that every other country owes them the earth, but not their own countries.

  12. Don’t know about Sydney but writing this from a great pub in downtown Canberra…. A lovely city in a great country. Old Git should stop being so fecking patronising…. Many people in the UK take an interest in world politics and some of us even know more than he does if the bombastic Git even realised it!!

    It’s great here in Aussie land but still can’t wait to get back to Wales…… 6 nations, Cheltenham races, FA Cup etc…… and of course Wetherspoons!!

    g’day to you all

    1. Lol, You coming back here? Watch the sport on SKY mate, then you don’t have to come back to this $#!t hole. If I got to Australia I’d claim friggin asylum to stay there lol. Couldn’t stay too long in a city though, I’d have to be out in the Bush most of the time.

      1. Me too Mike, I’d claim persecution from David Cameron or just go walkabout 😀
        I didn’t spend much time in the city, most of the time I spent in the suburbs which backed onto bush as far as the eye could see. Magical stuff.
