Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

A couple of weeks ago I met a mate of mine who was out with his new girlfriend, his first in a several months. Then the other day I met him again with another new girlfriend.... I said to him "Your girlfriends are like buses" He said "I know, nothing for ages then two come along at th...

Sounds like Ally had a very similar day to me, but he looks slightly more sober 😂

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

I went to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and I think Edinburgh Usher Hall edged it as it was the second night and the band seemed more relaxed, and also, as a venue it was awesome. There are quite clearly various opinions on this forum about the band, but if you want to see a band playing Stranglers so...

Re: Strangler in the light

I saw Thin Lizzy, without Phil Lynott, but with all the other original members (Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson & Brian Downey) I couldn't think of a better way to enjoy Thin Lizzy music live, without Phil Lynott. In the same way, if you want to hear Stranglers music live, you will see The Strangl...

Re: Strangler in the light

With regards to the "wilderness years" I thought it was sad to hear that Dave turned to JJ around the time of WiR and said "I'm don't feel like being a Strangler at the moment" (quote isn't correct as I don't have the book to hand but it was similar to that). Jim When Hugh left,...
