Slut Spungen & Super Sid

I believe that it was in the "New Paper" (I do like to read the high class papers, for the in depth reviews and analysis of the world happenings) that I saw an article that mentioned that in Singapore the love location of choice is the loo. This came as something of a surprise to me, having reached an age where comfort is a necessity.
However I was always a fan of the Pistols, and I recalled this photo of Sid and Nancy, which made me realise that it's the love that matters not the surroundings. When Alice is with me I look at her more than at anything else, she takes over my mind - but whether it could remove all thoughts of the surroundings in certain unsalubrious Asian toilets is rather a moot point.
Anyway, turning back to the Sex Pistols, most years I buy myself a film (on DVD) as a present for myself. On Christmas Day there is the sock first thing in the morning, and after lunch there is the ceremonial handing out, and opening, of the presents under the tree. This is usually followed by the family watching of my annual film. In the last few years this has included "Hellzapoppin" and "Some Like It Hot". Obvious really if you look at my profile. Anyway this year I have ordered "Genevieve", but now I think I will return to the Ezydvd website and also order "Sid and Nancy" for my personal pleasure.
It's surprising what influences our actions, is it not? Is it for such fortuitous reasons that people strap on explosives and kill themselves and others? The BBC website is my main source of real news and this morning there were reports of further numerous suicide bombings in Baghdad. No wonder I turn to other sources for lighter relief.
