Right: I’m vaguely rushing, at the mo: I’ve only a while before I head back to work, after a few days off.
Can’t say I’m THAT unhappy.
It means I can be doing SOMETHING with my day, apart from sitting around.
Although whether I’ll be saying that at The end of a long shift … ?
Is something I couldn’t tell you.

But let’s move on, shall we?
Last week’s Pistol’s themed Weekly Teaser saw Old Peculiar regular, Debbi, putting in her answers: scoring ten out of ten in the process.
Let’s see how everyone does with this week’s questions, shall we?
Here they are, covered by the usual Creative Commons License* …

Here’s last week’s questions and answers …

Answers.
A1) Heathrow Airport.
A2) Electric and Musical Industries.
A3) Funnily enough … EMI.
A4) Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. (Or Never Mind the Bollocks, if you’re in a hurry.)
A5) Glen Matlock, Paul Cook, Steve Jones and John Lydon: then using his stage name. (According to the BBC report, Matlock wasn’t a band-member, at the time of the incident. However, according to the Wikipedia entry on the band, Matlock left on 28th February: at least six weeks AFTER the Heathrow brawl.)
