"Mummy, I'm a goth"

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.

It does make me wonder what has kick started the media at this pont though?

Maybe just a slow news week, or the same person has sold them all the same article :lol:

Given that the week started with the news that Humphrey the Downing Street Cat had snuffed it (can we have a moment of silence, please?), I'm going to have to go with the former. Of course, it could be a clever ruse to deflect attention from the way the regime change is going...but I don't want to get all :von: in here :lol:

Unfortunately, for me, that statement is terrifyingly true. I'm honest enough to say that Wayne and his Blue Nun made quite an impact on me, and created a habit that was only broken when Salvation released "Thunderbird" and got me on the evil Red Label stuff.... impressionable, moi??? :eek:

Never want to taste either again now, thank the gods! :D

Look, stop it. The only reason I had Carl Mccoy ski-goggles... or Hussey-esque riding boots... or a cowboy hat, were for practical, not fashion purposes. :lol:

And going back to the Thunderbird business, can anyone confirm something... might just be an urban myth, how many types were there? I know of the Blue Label (pish), and the legendary Red Label - (now there was a MANS drink!! :lol: ) - but was there ever a Black Lable one??? And if so, did anyone ever survive drinking it????

I too have a Stetson cowboy hat, which I bought years after I stopped considering meself a goth. And I also have another, non cowboy, regular city hat.

i remember there being a blue and a red label, but a black label i never heard of. do you remember "night train" ? came in a different shaped bottle from t'bird and was made of apples as opposed to pears? that got banned for it's lethal inebriating properties.

Never heard of T'Bird black label, alas, although a large portion of my life seems to have been spent ordering Donnington Brainstorms in disreputable bars up and down the country. A mixture of T'bird and vodka, since you ask - about half and half. Best results achieved when you use Morrison's own brand vodka (you don't want to throw up anything too expensive!).
Whatever happened to MadDog 20/20? Not sure what the 20/20 stood for, but it sure as f*ck wasn't your eyesight after a couple of bottles. I liked the pink grapefruit variety myself... :oops:

Wasn't 20/20 a reference to the allegation that if you drank it, you stood a 20% chance of getting laid, and a 20% chance of getting in a fight? ;)

Did they have buses in those days? The horse-drawn numbers with a spiral staircase at the back, and you had to get out to go up hills? :lol:
