Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I was watching GMTV (I know I know!) the other day and there was a school that banned the word "school" because it had negative connotations - I kid you not!

Absolutely - I'm not saying that you should say it to their face!!!!

Anyway,back to the new year honours list - bollocks wasn't it?

For Dawn French I'd have "Lip Up Fatty" by Bad Manners.

If we're keeping it Stranglers themed then how about

Strange Little Girl for Bjork or

No Mercy for Max Moseley.

Shakin Like A Leaf for Steven Hawking or maybe

Peaches for Peaches!

If THAT word was good enough for Ian Dury, it's good enough for me!! - as long as its not used in the wrong context. I agree totally.Like if you're playing "catch" and the other person drops it you call them a spaz. Come on - this is a Stranglers Forum.There's no space for the pc brigade ...

You're not allowed to say "Spastics" anymore.


The word is "Rasberries"

I thought this thread was gonna be about The Kagools.An imaginary indie band from 1983!

I'm sick of the bloody Olympians.Talk about dragging it out.They go on and on like they did it just for the love of the country.Why should anyone get at CBE,MBE or OBE for doing the sport that they love?

They've already been rewarded - time to buckle down and get training for 2012!!!!!!!!!

Being 40 is pretty much like being 39 or 41!

Really glad I joined.Been a Stranglers fan pretty much from the beginning but never got around to joining SIS or anything so I'm really enjoying learning about the band and the fans.Great stuff

Stabbing myself with a sharp knife as I'm taking cutlery out of the dishwasher!

Having 'flu on New Years Eve.

"Withnail And I"

Going up to a farmhouse in the pissing rain saying "We came on holiday by mistake!"

Nice review,cheers.Never seen 'em live as I've heard bad things.

I was playing Pogues yesterday funny enough.They always sound good this time of year especially.
Walzing Matilda always leaves me with a tear in the eye.They make it their own.
Pair Of Brown Eyes ain't so bad either!
