Sex in the Gazette!
Do you often wonder what ever happened to pop stars from years gone by?
I must admit I am fascinated reading about what has become of once famous people from all walks of life.
I have just been reading through this week's pages of the guide section of the Gazette and came across an interesting feature on one of the former members of the Sex Pistols band (no I was never a fan myself).
Glen Matlock was the orginal bass player of the hell raising 70s band and, is still going strong after surviving the manic years with the group who shocked the pop world at the time with their antics.
These days Glen leads a more sedate life with his band The Phillistines and he his coming to Ruislip Golf Centre this coming Sunday (29th) to perform a solo acoustic show.
He also wrote his account of his life with the band entitled 'I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol' and his interview in this week's Gazette is well worth reading, Sex Pistol fan or not.
On the news front things are shaping up quite nicely at the moment and it looks like we will have strong leads for all four edition fronts.
We have the usual mix of hard news and human interest stories, including a real cracker for page three on which I will go into more detail later.
It's a bit of a struggle for the newsdesk today as chief reporter Chris Longhurst is still recovering from his birthday bash weekend in Bournemouth (he did book the day off) and our community reporter Barbara Fisher has broken her foot - leaving us a bit thin on the ground.
