I wanna walk like you talk like you - Eldritch wardrobe sale

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

And thus it happened, apparently.

Tho the post is already locked. Maybe better.

As said before, good luck to the bidders, and especially best of luck to Oscar as well.

Tho I find it kinda short-sighted to state that one cannot have a short laught about someone's disease.

As most of you know, my mother has MS. A small laugh about a disease can help lighten the burden the family and friends have to carry on a daily basis. Feeling bad and depressed about this kinda things just makes for an early grave.

If someone felt attacked by what *I* said, my apologies. I just stand by what I said in above paragraph tho.

Iz - There's a massive difference between laughing about a disease 'with' somebody about 'theri' disease. My best friend died last year from Lueckemia - and yes we HAD to laugh about it.

But some of the comments - Flipperboy etc... How do they lighten the burden? They don't - it's inexcusable and sick. And it's not laughing with, and you know it's not.

Glad you did ... some people tend to forget how f*cking grateful they should be for being born healthy ... Especially Evilbastard in his pathetic attempt to draw attention with his "flipperboy" remark ...

The post wasn't intended to cause offence - clearly it did, but sometimes things have effects that were not intended.

I stand by the greater sentiment that the auction seems like a worthy cause - shame though it is that the family is driven to this rather than being able to rely upon a slightly more robust national health system.

Apologies to the Mods for the extra work and the firefighting.

I can see that too. The openly racist, misanthropic and hateful feeling of the HeartLand scares a lot of people away these days.

Puh-lease. This is one of the nicest forums around as far as I know, and I mostly frequent 'serious' forums.

People apologized, some of us went too far. I don't see the need to keep on reminding us every second posting what utter bastard we are.

Sorry, bad day, tense times, but I had to say this on a beloved forum I frequent from the very beginning.

This is a nice place. And even in the best places, sometimes bad stuff happens. At least the people concerned are so mature as to apologize.

Re EvilBastards comments:
Boy, you must have your friends rolling around in laughter......of course I'm assuming you have 'real' friends. I tend to wonder though when people have,say, 1008 or so posts on a forum. I only have 30 odd....wonder why that is.

Which item do you think will go for the most?
Most people are playing it close to their chests and not bidding until nearer the end.

I think the suit will go for the most, followed by the scarf.

I may raid the kids money boxes and place a bid on something cheap at the end!

And for those not winning the auctions, you can donate the amount you were willing to spend to Oscar proper.

You can find a PayPal Donation option on his website

I'd go for the suit! Although wearing it isn't one of the possibilities, considering my gain of weight in the past few years :lol:

Why isn't this covered by your NHS?

I had though you guys had pretty much the same kind of health care we have here in Canada. Meaning room to complain about it, but really pretty good and pretty much free.

It's getting less so. Don't believe everything Michael Moore says. ;)

Probably, essential medical care will be free, but things that would make a positive difference to the child's quality of life won't be free.

I think waiting til the end of the auction is unfair as some of us have to work and might not be around for last minute bids :cry:
I'd love to get something from it but I'm not holding out much hope :?

The suit is rubbish and I hope it raises nothing :lol:

I'm already in trouble for bidding as I hear it only has a 27" waist,hence will never wear it :oops:

I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria
