Kopriso nixie watch not for geeks

[Michel]

Hi Guys,

As some of you may know, yesterday was the day Sid Vicious died 35 years ago. I thought it would be a nice idea to wear a watch for that day to remember him. I never got so many comments about my watch as yesterday! That was truly amazing and totally unexpected.

I did it my way.

Very cool watch and nice way to honor his memory...

Of course, Sid probably would have smashed it and sprinkled it on his breakfast cereal...

Cool watch. Enjoyed "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" reference too.

Or.... maybe he would have covered it with a swastika and pissed onto it :-)

 

"The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" is the main reason I haven't thrown out my VCR yet. Not that I play that tape on a daily (or even annual) bases, but I know without a VCR I can't play the original tape anymore :-). Having said that, I now wonder if it would play at all having kept it in the garage where temps can reach over 40C in summer, and the VCR might suffer from dried out belts if they haven't been eaten by cockroaces....

I never met Sid, he was already dead, but I did know his mum Anne Beverley through a mutual friend in the music business. She told me crazy stories about Sid, like the time he came round and urinated on her television while she was watching it. She asked him why and Sid said he was 'combatting radiation'. Sid then crashed through a window and left.

Sid's craziness was down to Anne in many ways. Anne was a hippie who'd messed about a lot in Ibiza in her youth, I think she'd brought Sid up there. She had her own heroin problem. She was generally bad news. Not a good role model that's for sure. I recall Anne and her boyfriend were arrested on some serious drug-dealing charges.

Personally I wouldn't idolise any of the Sex Pistols. Not some of the world's greatest movers and shakers, musically or otherwise. A wholly manufactured band and somewhat tedious, but each to their own I suppose.

The expensive single 'God Save the Queen' single on A&M is not nearly as rare as people think Although it was trashed I can tell you that a large quantity were salvaged by staff out of the skip/dumpster. When A&M UK closed down a friend of mine, who worked there, was given a copy by her manager, as were all the other people she'd worked with. The woman who gave it to my friend had a locker full of them. My friend sold hers some years ago for £3,500 to a Japanese collector. What they are worth now, I have no idea.

Lovely watch though Michel
