Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I recall there was a limit on how many formats counted towards the chart placing, to stop it getting out of hand.

I finally watched the Damned film last night, and it was pretty enjoyable. I hope the Stranglers movie will be as interesting, though it was partly the fact that the earlier members of the Damned took part, and were prepared to talk about quite difficult subjects, that made it interesting and withou...

I didn't think much of the Poly Styrene film, mainly because the voiceover from her daughter was just too slow to be engaging. And with the very frequent ad breaks (maybe they're normal at that rate on Sky Arts, I hardly ever watch it live) it just seemed like it was an hour-long programme that had ...

Well, every day (Monday to Friday) and between 12.30pm to approximately 5pm and in running order, you are served with Sherlock Holmes (now, "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"), Dempsey & Makepeace, The Sweeney and then The Avengers. On that basis, you should look at "Forces TV"...

Plus caught first episode of House Of Cards that I enjoyed Was that the original UK version, or the US remake? I've just watched the first series of the US version and enjoyed it a lot. I don't recall watching the UK version, but I probably did. On current TV I've been enjoying both "The Serpe...

The loudest was Cast. They was far too loud in a small venue in Charing Cross Road. My ears were in pain after. I've only recently started getting down to the front at Stranglers gigs - around the time when they were opening the gigs with "Norfolk Coast", which I remember because as well ...

Good site to check here: https://www.setlist.fm/search?page=17&query=thompson+twins (To my shame I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo in 84 :oops: ) Cheers - it seems to have been December 1984. I enjoyed it - very different from a Stranglers gig (which I hadn't seen that many of at the time), what...

First: Stranglers, Manchester Apollo February 1983 on the Feline tour. (ETA or it might actually be either Howard Jones or the Thompson Twins at the NEC. I saw both of these, a couple of days apart, and I don't recall when it was. I looked on concertarchive.org and it doesn't mention either act play...

I've just finished watching "Layer Cake" again, seen it before but it's a good film. I don't have a type or genre, I'll watch anything if it's any good.

I've just finished "The Arctic Event" by Robert Ludlum and James Cobb, very enjoyable. Bomber crashes on a remote island in the fifties, has a deadly cargo which various groups are trying to recover.

"The Picasso Scam" by Stuart Pawson. I haven't read one of his for a few years, and they're getting on a bit now (so as a police story it's a bit outdated in some aspects) but it was still good.

"The Oracle" by Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell. Enjoyable, but perhaps not as enjoyable as his usually are.
