50th anniversary

[Cells&Plasma]

Well we all know that my English grammer and punctuation isn't my strongest point but i do manage to get my points of view across somehow .....lol
i can certainly express myself far better on a guitar and reading music than i ever can on a keyboard...agreed.
Hey we can't all be good at everything lol
i'll stick to my guitars & music.

Amen....we love ya....

I read all Toilers posts as if it were modern poetry




Doesn't make it easier though

The main thing is we all have one thing in common and that is.....The love for this bands music.

Sir I always find your posts a good read.Major Kudu sorry I checked my uniform yesterday and I'm a Major.

Well they come in useful for Gardening and house clothes,after wearing my uniform for 15 hrs a day with Sword and Halbert,its nice to put a black t shirt on.Major Kudu.

Mind you a 50th t shirt would be worth getting,but then again if they did what picture could you use? there's been so many faces come and gone over the years,for me it would have to be the mk1 line up but you could say as the original four that were rightly the birth formation of the band where infact only together for 16 of the 50 years and a picture of the current line up with a 50th tour doesn't seem right either as some haven't been in the band long compared to an overall period of 50.
So the only right way how i see it only would be a t shirt written with the stranglers logo and a rat maybe underneath but for me a picture less t shirt with the words The Stranglers 1974-2024..50 years written in red or even a special colour of gold.
You could have a picture less band photo on it but with the recognisable back picture of the rattus sleeve cover with the red back ground, branch, sun and rat that's been used through all the 50 years with all the members that have been in the band at one stage or another.
