Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

well said La Folie I totally agree with you

Hugh the other two don't really register to me when held up against him sorry

Couple of N.I. bands worthy of a mention.... RUDI The Outcasts The Undertones Runnin' Riot Victim Shock Treatment The Idiots (better live than on record) Pig (never recorded) The Ex-Producers Protex Moondogs Shame Academy (combined NI 'supergroup') cheers for that Mully I'd like to hear more NI pun...

yeah think I missed out the Kennedy's great band once, the thing calling itself the DK now though has no interest whatsoever to me. I ain't heard much of their's but BGK from Holland are one of those bands I'd like to get more stuff by that I think had a release on alternative tentacles keep them co...

glad to see its got a few going couldn't agree more with wanderlust said about people wearing the tshirt and not having a clue that they were actually as shit hot band. The same went for this craze of wearing CBGB's tshirts as well which were like 40 quid. I don't like the way all this is going for ...

Wickerman and Twins of Evil are two of my favourite films!

Great taste you've got there then Andrew. Yes I am a big fan of films such as Hammer and Amicus and pretty much anything with Peter cushing or Christopher Lee

for the record I think Doctor who is brilliant sorry I don't come on this section normally maybe I should. I've loved Doctor Who since I was 5 (1979) and still very much do. I find the newer episodes get better with repeated viewings- great stuff all of it

I try not to think of boredom as being a concept which really exists. I have tried to convince myself I can't be bored so I would always suggest reading a book, watching a DVD or putting your hand to a bit of writing, maybe some artwork if you're that way inclined and there's always other exercise t...
