Not a problem, Comma-Doug. I loved the Sex Pistols. They transcended their Monkeehood. Never Mind the Bollocks is a great album. With praise like Sir Cliff Richards gives in the link below, who needs anything else? My first time in London, during that horrendous heatwave in '76, I witnessed some punk scariness in Finsbury Park that has stayed with me over the decades. Certainly put the weekend punks in Berekeley during the '80s and '90s into perspective. (BTW, ever heard the French version of Anarchy in the UK?)

Now, to tie this post in with words and etymologies. Let's see we already did bollocks. How about the fact that band is plural in British English? Cf. the Beatles' "the band are not quite right" in Only a Northern Song.
