Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I have only been here a few months but have learnt so much about the Stranglers and its followers.

All down to Jim and the posters here that I can preach the Gospel of the Meninblack to others!

Tell that to the geezer who camped outside Westminster with his anti war placards. He got moved on in the end didnt he?

Au contraire my friend. At least there were protests and things then. Try and protest today and the law move you on, nick you or quote some law thats says you are banned from standing there for the day!

Rant over lol

Made me laugh this did:

I am going to struggle to go to the Iceland gig but for anyone who is considering it I just got this from Iceland Express (ps I might be able to still help with hotels if needed and no not for profit either) Break the Ice: Return flights to Iceland from Berlin, Copenhagen and London, from €199 / £13...

Nice reviews, thanks for posting the link.

2000 people is an even more staggering number when you consider the population for the whole country is 300,000!

As I said I work in the travel game and can sometimes get good rates. One hotelier in particular owes me a big favour so I may be able to get a good rate. Maybe people who are genuinely interested can pm me. If I get a number I can but ask folks.

Mate no offence I have been there over 10 times now. I work in tourism and am sick of the geysers, lagoon lol! I always have to take people there etc. Yes you are right though you cant go to Iceland and not see them.

I wonder how much of a fan base the Stranglers have up there

I am in Iceland a lot with work so trying to swing it that I am there when the Stranglers are there. Only thing is everything is pricey as fuck out there so not sure how much the tickets would be.

To be fair I have been chucklin away at Monkeys posts tonight!

Funny you mention that, I have seen two gigs at the Junction, Cambridge this year, one was the Stranglers and the other.............the Reid brothers!

Not listened to this album in ages - forgotten what a classic it is!
