Issa ha nikkompeti ftit mat-Tweets ta’ Herr Flick Tonite

Virgin Radio has just played a major blast from the safety-pin (don’t ask) era of my past: Sid Vicious’s My Way, one of the greatest covers of all time.

At moments like this, I can see that there are some advantages to not working in an office at, say, Middlesea Insurance, and being able to throw the volume right up.

But then my present-day self kicked in and thought what a great, ironic soundtrack that would make to a YouTube video of the Ginger Prat.

Now it’s ruined. Never mind.

    By coincidence I thought of the Sex Pistols yesterday, and spent an afternoon listening to their music, including that track. This is what triggered the trip down memory lane:

    The Times is behind the times also. Headline on page 14 of today’s print edition: ‘Security is PM’s main concern at London 2011’.
