Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Half the point of smoking for me is the aesthetic pleasure of handling the cigarette, the tightly rolled tobacco with it's rich aroma, the satisfying click of the Zippo, the glowing tip and the long feather of smoke... Only the expense worries me, not the health implications. i want to start again ...

Bob Geldof's heart is definitely in the right place.

Bono, too, does much more good than harm.

Throwing money at Africa for decades hasn't really changed much but you can't knock them for trying.

Hello guys, 1st post here (appropriately about my 1st gig.) It was the City Halls in Glasgow, 1977. A magical night: JJ in leather, Dave in that jumpsuit, Jet a massive frame behind his drumkit and Hugh sporting a ripped donkey jacket.

Good morning, fellow Britons! I'm glad I can still say that. The Yes voters weren't defeated as such; they hold the same views today as they did yesterday.
