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.
Boring FAQ wrote:Where did you get the nickname 'Von' ?
It's the German version of the "van" before a Dutch family name, or the "de" in French. Hundreds of years ago it denoted aristocracy. I believe it was Tony James who first called me 'Von', for hanging out in Hamburg.
And it's Von himself calling you boring, not me
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
