Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Alright buddy, how are you? Yeah not been around these parts for a while, just came on last week to see if folk were still here. Good to see the forums still on the go, given all the activity on the likes of Facebook. Yeah we can all disagree on our faves, but I really love Dark Matters. I find som...

Hadn't played it for a about ten days, been busy and that. Put it on today and played it about five times. It's an incredible album. Not just a collection of songs, but a cohesive artistic project. For me it's the best post Hugh album, and I know many will disagree but I think it's their best since...

The 2016 reaper swings his scythe once again. Two of the people who spoke to me through the confusion of my youth, the hedonistic days of my young adulthood and through to the what´s it all about rollercoaster of middle age. First Bowie and now Cohen, I was listening to Leonard Cohen when I heard of...

Best of luck in your new role Mully, but will you still be able to sneak off for those many "5 Minutes" smoke breaks? Incidentally, in my last job I hadn't realised that I had let it be known that I was a Stranglers fan, but was pleasantly surprised on my last day when the team brought in ...

Ha! I have an appointment that direction tomorrow Mully, I'll keep an eye out for your sneaky smoke break, althoughy apparently the weather's going to be even colder, if that's possible. :smt006 More of a where were you right now moment (as I am back at my workstation in the office right now), but.....

I hadn't noticed this thread until now and as it was me who sent the original PM to the site supporters group, I feel I should say that in hindsight I shouldn't have done that and I'd feel very annoyed if anyone felt they should leave the forum because of it. It was my intention to untick many inact...

I wasn't embarrassed, I felt a little sad of course, The real tragedy of that incident was that George and his father fell out for months because of it. He did a few thousand more interviews where he came across as articulate and full of humour, they're rarely talked about. anybody remember George b...

"I used to go missing a lot. Miss Uk, Miss USA, Miss World". Sat beside him and his manager on a flight once, chatted with me the whole time, I bumped into him a week later when I was with a new girlfriend, he remembered my name and by fuck was my date mightily impressed. "If you'd gi...

Gaza?? He wasn't a bad player but he wasn't anywhere near the level of Best. He had some natural ability, players like Best, Cruyff, Pele, Maradona had it in abundance, God given. When asked to compare Best and Gaza, Sir Bobby Charlton smiled and said; "with no disrespect to Paul (Gascoigne) th...

Pele would disagree. I suppose though, those guys played in incredible international teams, which possibly made their lights shine brighter.

But Best had the most fun.

Ten years since we lost the unique, charasmatic, complex and charming Belfast Boy. While some still want to berate him for his human frailties, most of us prefer to remember his genius. Play the game.
