Sisters Live at this years Meraluna festival

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.

Doesn't "deine" mean "your" in German? I managed to pass Open University Basic German (waste of time) course with 70% result but don't remember it very well! :wink:

I'm going to Germany in summer :D - but a month earlier :cry: . Can't spend too much time there though.

Can anyone tell me where the f**k Hildesheim is?
Google won't provide me with a map...

(If anyone says "Germany" I will personally come round your house and duff you up! :twisted: )

Near Hannover, close enough to stay there and come on the train if needs be. To an English person, German trains are very scary as they go where they're meant to, when they're meant to.

Happy to hear that all of you will come over the channel. Can't await it.... :kiss:

And yes, Delilah, "Deine" means "yours".

And no, Timsinister, "u.a." doesnt mean unconfirmed, it just means "etc"

And to a Scottish person, it's more a case of "what's a train?" :roll: :lol:

Beejeezus! Sisters, APB and VNV Nation.

You drove? Christ. Don't Argon Events still run their monkey-bus trips? If not, flying is definitely the only option. Where's the nearest airport, is it Hannover?

It was quite a laugh actually driving down the Autobahns.

And we had overnight stop-offs in 'Dam on the way there and back. :innocent:

You are correct. It's about an hour by train from the airport to Hildesheim.

Well if you put it like that, are you sure you don't fancy driving again? :lol:

Like the missus would have any of that. :roll:

Excellent, cheers Scardy. Once (if!) official confirmation from The Sisters up, it'll be time to track down some cheap flights from oop north to Hannover.

Unless I CAN convince (or lie) my darling wife to let us drive there - 'No no no, course we won't go near the Dam, it's not even on the way'. Hmmm.

I just got back from a trip to Holland yesterday. It's a wonderful place. Forget Mera Luna, just bunk off there instead.

I started scouring the web for cheapo cash-strapped-student-friendly flights, but it appears EasyJet won't be scheduling a special black plane with the Merciful Release logo on the tail anytime soon. :von:
The more I think about it...

...the best way to get there would indeed be on a long long train... :innocent:
