Rock Birthdays

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.

Humph :evil: Don't share a birthday with anyone good, no-one "good" died on my birthday ........

.....oh, great - Kurt Cobain lapsed into a coma in Rome in 1994 on my birthday (lovely :evil: ).

But who knew that Slades "Come on Hear the Noise" was actually spelt "Cum on Hear the Noize" :lol: (Silly girl with a dirty mind - thats me :lol: )
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.
