Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Now that is what you call, A SHIP. Good luck !

I can't see a kebab shop on the deck but I presume there is one there somewhere ?

There's lots on offer ! IMHO, best kebabs are to be had from Durum (corner of Cornwall Avenue and Ballards Lane). It is Turkish run and is ace. On the boozer front, I like the Elephant Inn - friendly and a good pint is to be had but others may have different preferences. I think the best Indian rest...

Glad you're ok Toiler.

Well, that's one childhood item that this current fucking government has not increased in price. According to sillyjokes.co.uk, the price for a packet of three stink bombs remains very cheap.

I've still got me Little Chef road map from the 1989 car tour seeing The Strangs. The map is covered in all sorts of beer stains and fag burns but makes excellent toilet reading to this day.

My name comes from a tune by legendary jazz organ pioneer Jimmy Smith called 'Organ Grinder Swing'. It was used not so long ago on a car advert so you've all probably heard it without realising. Went to a Jimmy Smith gig at one of the venues in Leicester Sq many years ago. He was superb. "The ...

Am I mistaken or didn't JJ used to gig with a bottle of Jack D kept stage right next to his bass rig ?

Started off on Thursday with one of those 3 litre wines. A Californian Chardonnay at 13.5 ABV - blew my head off! Good stuff though. At various times the last 4 days I've had plenty of Jack D (my fave), Cava, Stella, Carling, Fosters, a bottle of french white and some dodgy strong bitter. Bloody he...

Exactly the same Paul Jim Very sorry to hear your news Organ Grinder. Speedy recovery ! :shock: It's interesting what Jim says in his last thread. It's the same for me. I can drink red wine til the cows come home and still make sense. After 4 pints of Stella, I become a danger to myself. I leave th...

It's interesting what Jim says in his last thread. It's the same for me. I can drink red wine til the cows come home and still make sense. After 4 pints of Stella, I become a danger to myself. I leave the stuff well alone.

We had a great scene going on and shared all the work after school and on Saturdays. Any locals (Paulinlondon?) who ever get a chance to go to 'Maddens' as it is now called should ask if they can have a look out in the yard at the back because I remember it being a cobblestone alleyway which led to...

I haven't had Special Brew for years. Recently got completely larrupped on Merrydale cider in one of the boozers in Camden Town. A few of us met there to go to a gig in another pub and after six pints of this stuff, decided to stay where we were. Missed the gig but did not miss a hangover from hell ...
