Sisters mentioned in The Guardian

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.

Quite an amusing article on the g*th scene appeared in The Guardian last Saturday, apparently written by a friend of Craig Adams. Inevitably The Sisters get mentioned...

cool!!
This is the theme of David Cummings' half-hour comedy thriller (part of the new BBC Choice series Spine Chillers) called simply Goths. Cummings, who says he was never a goth himself ("I was a punk rocker"- that's what they all say, Dave), rightly realised that there is something inherently funny about a youth cult whose acolytes venerate the likes of Charles Manson and the Marquis de Sade then travel home on the top deck of a number 73 bus.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i think he means this bit:
They see a red door and they want to paint it black. No colours any more; they want it to turn black.
:roll: ;D

He he

Bloody Goths, oops sorry industrialists

Very funny

Starts with the two of them walking to the local, the Severed Head, with background music of Preacherman

Anyway, find the flat and have to paint it black, natch and accompanied by Dominion natch :von:

And so on, won’t ruin it for the rest of you, but it was very funny

Especially the black dye for the milk; you mean you haven’t done that too?

milk isn't good for my health.
nothing terrible but if i drink it
i feel bad in my stomach.
i don't know what's the best word for it in English...
to hiccup?
like a puppy in "Tom & Jerry" :grin:
i've heard this problem isn't rare among
Fenno-Ugric nations (Hungarians, Finns, Estonians)
and some American Indians...
i don't know.
my wife and my ex-wife
didn't believe it
before they saw with their own eyes...
