Is Joe Corre a "ninconpoop" for burning his late father's Sex Pistols and Punk Memorabilia ?

Posted by: Tony2011 on 26 November 2016

Joe is the son of the late Malcom Maclaren and Vivienne Westwood.

By the way, that comes from the Latin "Non Campus Mentis"("not  of sound mind").

Should those have been kept as  cultural heritage?

He was selfish and should have donated money from the sale of the items so that charity could have benefited. Who cares if the wealthy bought these items. The money would have done much to help the less fortunate.

It was a bonfire celebrating HIS vanity,

Makes no difference really. It was a bonkers thing to do and it was his right to do it. I'm sure he's feeling very satisfied. So **** him. Who cares now?

non COMPOS mentis.  Sorry for correction, but I did Latin to O level standard many years ago.

My opinion?  He should have given the items to charity if he didn't want them.  Perhaps he just hated his dad?

Thanks for the correction. I did one year of Latin  half a century ago but, apart from all forgotten, obviously I never learned how to spell. I could always blame it on the auto spelling/correction, but I won't.

Just me being pedantic.  Took my Latin O Level in 1964.  (boasts...) got grade 1.

At Clitheroe Grammar School Latin wasn't optional (at least in the 1st year).  I continued with it to O Level because I thought it would help with getting into Medical School.

He's a self-publicist who has just raised the prices for remaining memorabilia.

Yes. And selfish. And environmentally unfriendly.

Not sure ninconpoop would be the term I would use...

Surely, you are saying butter (if not bitter) would better stand the test of time? Bitter batter butter, oh bother. 

Matters not as you are embroiled in bitter Brexit banter and we've done ourselves some better, me thinks.

... And on the Twitter sphere, these words appear:

My name is Trump, King of Bling;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing besides remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away. (is that 140?)
