Re: Strangler in the light

It's great to see JJ looking so well and happy.
He's probably just taking the piss a bit with his comment about Hugh touring toilets.

Re: Dark Matters has it stood the test of time?

Yeah Caz was a brilliant Bass player and not only that her backing vocals really complimented Hugh's vocals . I wish she was still in Hugh's band to be honest probably the best line up Hugh ever had. Was she dumped because she was becoming too popular and putting Hugh in the shade ? Nice play on wo...

Re: straighten out best tribute band ever.

They have been going for quite a long time now. Although I can't remember the first time I saw them, I do know it was more than 10 /12 years ago. It's gotta be hard work for them when they do these tours, what with all the setting up & humping their gear around etc.. I can't imagine there's much...

Re: straighten out best tribute band ever.

Saw them at Ruislip the other week, same set. Preferable to going to see the Stranglers. I can't disagree with you and I can only hope they keep it going into the future, because it's just great for old bastards like me who still like a night out every now and then. And what better than to see &...

Re: The Stones..Hackney Diamonds.

Well I like some Stones stuff but not all. Will listen to the new album out of curiosity more than anything. Whatever you think of them I think you gotta give it to them. It's quite incredible that they're still going with such energetic performances after so many decades. They can't need the money,...

Re: Bullying at work.

I have worked for quite a few large organizations, and in my experience HR depts are fucking useless. They are just there to tick boxes and run through whatever processes they have or are legally obligated to do. Rarely will you find someone who really cares about your well being. I can only speak f...

Re: Bullying at work.

It'd be difficult to say what to do as there are so many variables, Eg what's your position, what's her's, is she someone you report to, has she just come in etc etc etc... The only thing I can be sure of now is, looking back, I wish I'd just said a big FUCK OFF to several people instead of just swa...

Re: JJ interview - French

I can understand some french if I listen carefully and it's not too fast. I only watched the interview once so far, and without 100% attention. I'm gonna watch it again when I get the chance. So far the bit that stands out is that JJ has 437 ideas, so I think we're making progress towards a new albu...

Re: JJ interview - French

JJ seems happy & joking with the reporters. Baz comes out briefly and gives him a cuppa. When you see how well these two get along, and the obvious friendship between them, I just don't know how anyone could do or think anything but wish them all the best tbh.. Sent from my moto g62 5G using Tap...

Re: new Baz interview

Well for me I know Baz is no angel, and that unlike Hugh, the sun doesn't shine out of his arse. But I prefer to take the positives that he brings. His guitar playing is flawless, he tries very hard to sing the Hugh songs as best he can and has always slotted into the band with JJ, Dave, and Jet ver...
