Today's dose of pathos ...

... is supplied by the Sex Pistols. Ticket touts bought lots of seats for their forthcoming Manchester show - the latest leg of their comeback tour. The tickets were sold officially for £37.50, and are now available on ebay from nasty touts for......1p.

It's hard to feel too sad on the touts' behalf but it's not very encouraging for John Lydon and co. Perhaps it's proof, yet again, that once a band has broken up, and maintained some semblance of cool, they should keep apart not just for our sake (it's not fun cringing as often as we're being forced to at the moment by all these reunions) but also for their own.
