[DrGreggles]

I think he might just be a massive cunt.

Stop giving currency to this cunt's self awarded nickname.  The cunt's called Gordon for fuck's sake.

Well he was there 23 years before me. but my RE teacher was mates with him at school and I think he's mentioned in Sting's autobiography, something about truancy and nicking sweets.

Also from Neil Tennant's wiki

As a child, Tennant attended St. Cuthbert's Grammar School, an all-boys' Catholic school in Newcastle upon Tyne. Tennant's songs "This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave" and "It's a Sin" refer to his early life in Catholic school and the strict upbringing there.

and Declan Donnelly

Donnelly attended St Michael's Roman Catholic Primary School and the all-boys St Cuthbert's High School, leaving with 8 GCSEs.[9] He considered becoming a Catholic priest but quipped that he changed his mind after seeing the girls from Sacred Heart, the local Catholic girls' school.

I remember that moment - some girls came over from Sacred Heart for maths lessons (no idea why) and one of the girls, Helen Johnson had stockings on and flashed a few of us and Dec. I think that was his Road to Damascus moment.

I do like his vocal stylings, particularly the way he goes from soft husky crooning one moment, to honking like a goose the next

I also think Englishman in New York is a good one

I got it stuck in my head the first time I went to NYC as an adult and it totally ruined the weekend. Constant, on a loop, Sting. True story.

he didn't find out until years later that it was nothing to do with his daft stripey jumper making him look like a jasper, but simply the fact that he's a massive prick.
then he went all "nobody call me 'sting' any more" but it was too late.

if I could work out how to do it.... I have a picture taken from behind copeland's kit, which I always post when the subject of G.Sumner comes up, & on the skins of the four toms, it says
"fuck off you cunt"
& whenever I hear a police track, I listen out for copeland's fills & imagine him going "off! cunt! you! you! fuckfuckfuck!" as he hits them.

copeland was the one slumming it in that band. summers had form, but by the end of the 70s his best work was behind him & he was more concerned with powdering his nose & running around with belushi.

Christmas albums

If On A Winter's Night... is the only Sting album I like, and I like it loads and loads and loads. It's a bit fucking silly, like, and it's a curiously joyless affair for a "Christmas" record and it's full of itself to the tits and all the rest, but I love it. It has atmosphere to the hills and back. A record for when the electric's run out on Boxing Day evening, if you've maybe got it on your phone and have enough battery left to listen to it and you don't think you'll need your phone for anything else.

"In England, our house is surrounded by barley fields, and in the summer it's fascinating to watch the wind moving over the shimmering surface, like waves on an ocean of gold. There's something inherently sexy about the sight, something primal, as if the wind were making love to the barley. Lovers have made promises here, I'm sure, their bonds strengthened by the comforting cycle of the seasons."

Shurrup Sting.

[The Roofdog]

The correct nickname for a man wearing a bee jumper is clearly Bumble.

Brr. When my dad got a cd player he promptly joined Brittania and Ten Summoner's Tales was one of the offending articles that seemed to get played for what seemed like an eternity in my youth. In fact there's a clear divide between my dad's record collection (Blues, Psych, Reggae, Rock) and his CD's which seemed to be mostly stuff like So, Stars and Crocodile fucking Shoes.

You can't be lumping So in with them two. It's got Sledgehammer on it!
