Sid Vicious dies from drugs overdose

Sex Pistols' bass player Sid Vicious has died of a heroin overdose in New York. His mother, Anne Beverley, found him dead in bed with his sleeping girlfriend in an apartment in Greenwich Village this morning.

There had been a party in the flat to celebrate Mr Vicious' release on $50,000 bail yesterday pending his trial for the murder of his former girlfriend, last October. The precise details of his death are unknown but party guests say Sid Vicious took some heroin at midnight. His mother, once a registered addict, said: "He knew the smack was pure and strong and took a lot less than usual."

Shortly after taking the drug Mr Vicious, 21, collapsed, went into seizure and displayed the symptoms of overdose. He revived 40 minutes later and went to bed with his girlfriend, Michelle Robinson, at about 0300 local time.

The first police officer on the scene later in the morning was Robert Zink who discovered "a syringe, a spoon and what is probably residue near the body."

The troubled punk musician - renowned for his violent behaviour - had been on a detoxification, methadone programme in prison, but he had developed a £40 a day habit since meeting Miss Spungen last year.

It was the second time Virgin Records - the Sex Pistols' label - had to bail out Sid Vicious. He was re-arrested after his initial bail for assaulting Patti Smith's brother, Todd, in a New York disco and had just served another 55 days in prison. A spokesman for Virgin boss Richard Branson said: "In retrospect he was obviously far safer in jail where the temptations that ultimately killed him were not present."

Sex Pistols' manager Malcolm McClaren - who was planning a comeback for the band - also blames the person who gave him the heroin at the party.

a) What was Sid Vicious’ real name?
b) Name his former girlfriend, who he was alleged to have murdered?
c) Vicious joined the Sex Pistols in 1977. Who did he replace?

The UK Top 5 selling singles for that same week were…….

2 .Y.M.C.A. - VILLAGE PEOPLE
3. SEPTEMBER - EARTH WIND AND FIRE
4. A LITTLE MORE LOVE - OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN
5. WOMAN IN LOVE - THREE DEGREES

From Milan to Yucatan

That was the week that was…..but what was the year?

MacArthur sails into record books

Britain's Ellen MacArthur has completed her single-handed round-the-world voyage in record-breaking time.
She crossed the finish line at 2229 GMT on Monday, beating the previous mark set by Francis Joyon of 72 days, 22 hours, 54 mins and 22 secs.

After achieving the record time, MacArthur said: "I feel exhausted but I'm elated to be here."
She added: "It has been an unbelievable journey. The whole voyage has been very draining, and there's a lot of things going round in my head. But it's great that I can finally switch my brain off and relax in the company of others, which I've really missed."


a) How long did it take the yachtswoman to complete the 27,354 nautical miles (50,660 km) circumnavigation?
b) What was the name of her trimaran yacht?
c) Two months after her amazing feat she became the youngest person to receive a what?

The UK Top 5 selling singles for that same week were…….

1. ???
2. ONLY U - ASHANTI
3. GOODIES - CIARA FEAT. PETEY PABLO
4. GRIEF NEVER GROWS OLD - ONE WORLD PROJECT
5. GALVANIZE - CHEMICAL BROTHERS

Can you name the missing song & artist from the lyrics below…..

When I first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
My soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that you’re near
The time is here at last.

That was the week that was…..but what was the year?

Half way there 1BB.

As a bit of a clue, she first came to prominence sailing Kingfisher, named after her sponsors, Kingfisher plc. Kingfisher own B&Q. Find out who else they own and you might get the second part of the name.......

Close....but not close enough.

I must say that the chart is not exactly memorable......but the No.1 is pop royalty........
