Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I'm off on a stag weekend so I will be attempting to make sense of England's opening game after about twelve hours of drinking. Or maybe I'll be sound asleep by 8pm... :smt114 But seriously, I blame Sky - they have pumped gazillions of pounds into the game which makes footballers the most overpaid p...

He was the highlight of "Man Down", a vehicle for Greg Davies, and was playing it like an ageing Vivian if anything - mischievous ne'erdowell out to wind his son (Davies) up at every opportunity. Not a bad way to bow out.
