I know some folks like him, but...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Did anyone else see Mark E. Smith on Newsnight last night (about the passing of John Peel)? *CRINGE* Really, really embarrassing. He got asked a couple of questions which he answered with literally one word, a grunt and a "who's stolen my teeth" expression. The news dood was a little bemused, so he started talking to this other guy (from the Undertones but not Feargal Sharkey), who was just saying some nice, appropriate things, and when he goes to ask Smith a question he goes "Can I speak now?"
Totally uncalled for. Even Von could be nicer. So yeah.. Mark E. Smith... a bastard.

I figure you guys know something about drugs :wink: (Miss Mineral Water here, don't forget), so do you think he was on something, or is he like that all the time?

Mark E has always struck me as a bit of a "professional Mancunian" type (and he probably wouldn't thank me for that description, as he always says he's from Salford, not Manchester)
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Come now, surely not all Mancunians are bastards?

He did come across as a bit of a tw*t, a lot of a tw*t in fact.

And...errr...he's not ageing well is he?? :eek:

No denying that. But it's quality, not quantity, remember!

Imagine they had got Von to do a tribute... say a few words. If they could find him. :roll:
