He didn't seem particularly hostile. It seemed more like a joke. Yes, The Project is a bit of a joke.

I heard Bickmore talking? this morning.

Unfortunately he's ready for Sunny Acres Retirement village. Talking about not being able to hang photos on the wall because of the mould????

When Jonesy and Amanda interviewed him they had to guarantee 40 minutes of interview. It sounded like he was doing an entry interview for the funny farm.

Too many purple hearts or whatever it was you were taking Johnny.

Black subs - the choice of amphetamine back in 1970s London.

Purple hearts were barbiturates - the pill choice of the early-70s hippies Lydon and his friends hated.

At the end, you could tell that even he was upset that he had to tell her (and them) off for their 'gaggling' all at once, when he sent himself up as a bad-boy (because of 'their' fragile lil' eggshells).

I love the Pistols.

Bickmore is a moron.

However, he was out of line.

No big deal though.

If she can't stand the heat ...

A man - 'out of line ' ???
It was only a woman he was talking at.
Where is her apology ? She should be cooking him his lunch.

When you make comments like this (even in jest) you are condoning an attitude that may swing back and impact on the women in your own life. Would you like it if a man displayed a similar attitude in an interaction with your wife or daughter in their workplace? I doubt it.

It's the voice of working class London where ALL abuse is affectionate. It's not understood anywhere else, the only analogy is the use of 'bastard' in Oz. + of course, he's made a career out of the policy that no publicity is bad publicity.

Nice to see you Annie

Nice to see you too, Grey. I was referring to Sprint's comment about Bickmore being "only a woman."

I can't do this, but I'm doing it anyway.

It's great finally seeing somebody taking on these over opinionated elitist pieces of crap. When a real person is found amongst fakes it was bound to happen.

Yep, but the Pistols were a breath of fresh air for music (as were PIL).

I'll always admire him for his music.

That's what I think about people like Taylor Swift and bands like Nickelback. Unfortunately though, they really are serious.
