Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I like this programme - simple and entertaining , don't have to use th old grey matter too much ( not at all actually ) .... and sometimes that is just what you want . I think its very funny too .

I do tend to read rather a lot . Current read is " The Strangler " ( oddly enough ) , its about the Boston Strangler... don't know what its like yet as I haven't finished . I do like factual book and tend to read a fair few on WW2 these days .... last one being Len Deighton " Blood , ...

Preston North End .

I always wondered what their cover of Nice n Sleazy was like , and now thanks to the internet I know . I must admit , I was rather disappointed with the cover , waited years to hear it and when you do , think " oh , is that it ? " . I thought some of their own material was quite good for w...

I guess I'm not the only one who does this. Does anyone else make up alternative words to songs - usually ones you hate or are just bored of hearing on the radio time and time again. Like "slip inside the arse of your wife" on Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger" Extra points for t...

Just ordered False Gestures CD on E-Bay , haven't heard the whole thing for years - as I said before , I can't think of one remotely near duff track on it . They weren't the typical Discharge/Exploit...

Probably not vewry widely known on these forum's ...... but possibly one of the best of the later ( 1980's ) punk bands . One band who I think hardly did one duff track ( even The Stranglers have some duff tracks .... hate to admit it ) . JJ Bedsore , possibly one of the best punk guitarists of any ...

I think my problem with this was at the time I was getting into the harder punk around ( and Stranglers still ) while The Clash had moved away from punk ( ie sold out what I considered at t...

Only saw 2 things . One was the excellent Blackadder docu . If only a fifth series was in the pipeline .......... The other was Dr Who . Very disappointed I was too . The giant cyberman was to say the least , very stupid . Last year was the ONLY special I have never watched , because Minogue was in ...
