Lydon v. Pursey. Not a match made in heaven.

Can't quite imagine what a sight this must've been to those in the vicinity of these two. :angry2:

If the kids are united.....

I can't imagine it because the link didn't work

I assume you mean John Lydon and some guy named Pursey

Fuck Jimmy Pursey. He hasn't had a success since the National Front went out of style. I do enjoy how our boys in Joy Division called him an out-and-out racist in an early interview with Mick Middles.

Really? That's odd, worked okay for me. At any rate, Lydon and Sham 69 singer Jimmy Pursey got into a bit of a ruckus at the US Embassy. One of the quotes of the year..He's not fit to be in the same sentence as me Lydon, on Pursey.

Lydon 'clashes' with Pursey in US Embassy

24/08/2005 - 09:49:24 Punk idol John Lydon became embroiled in a vicious brawl with music rival Jimmy Pursey in London's US Embassy, according to the Sham 69 frontman himself.

Former Sex Pistol Lydon, also known as Johnny Rotten, was queuing for a US visa in the British capital, when he was spotted by Pursey.

Keen to put rivalry of the past few decades behind them, 50-year-old Pursey approached Lydon to shake his hand and was rudely rebuffed.

'If the kids are united' hitmaker Pursey said: "It was like a playground tiff. Johnny and I never got on, but I haven't seen the peroxide-haired moron for 25 years.

"I knew they'd be trouble when he swaggered in so I said, 'Let's put this rubbish behind us' and offered my hand.'"

Onlookers, included Scots pop duo The Proclaimers, saw Lydon shout: "F**k off!"

Pursey continued, "Next thing I knew, he'd thrown his coffee all over me."

Despite Pursey's claims, Lydon denies his bad behaviour, saying, "All the usual low-rent and lies. He's not fit to be in the same sentence as me. What do you expect from a low-rent fake 'mockney' (fake east Londoner) two-bob runt?"
