which Sisters Of Mercy tee thirt are you wearing today?

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.

Hey, for all I know there could have been shirts at either gig. Valid question. :lol:

And I like to think I make myself look silly in EVERY thread. I certainly have succeeded so far. :P

That thought crossed mind as I posted that :urff: , it wasn't "Pie in the Sky" either, that's on the same side..........nope, can't mind the name of the shop :roll: , but it sold T-Shirts, Posters & Post Cards and that's about it, good shop it was too.

Glad you like the CD :D

:lol: :notworthy: :lol: :notworthy: :lol:

There was me wondering what these thirts were ;D

My only thirt is the UBG one (and a fake one), but I don't wear them as:
  • It's not warm enough for just a tee yet
  • I mostly feel a bit, hmm, naked on the neck wearing just a tee
  • I don't want it to get too dirty, save it from the washing devil :lol:

I only have one, which is the original MR logo tee. It's a fake that I bought in Camden. Still in pretty good condition (I try not to wear it too much).

kinna wear t-shirts to work (tech support, public eye and all that).

my summer shirt is a boot from the 80s, TOL green on black, sleeves & neck cut off.

then i got my 97 & 98 tour shirts, they don't get much wear either - preservation, etc.

the body & soul w/MR head on back (also 80s boot) has been adopted by my wife & she wears it regularly.

the only sisters t-shirt i have that i don't wear is my 1984 MR logo one -because it's far too small. however it got worn half to death when i did fit in it 20-odd years ago. what's the point in having them if you don't ever get to look cool-as-fuck in them? :roll:

There's only one woman for Quentin and that's Felicity, the female Alpha woodpigeon in my back garden. He loves her long time ;D .

You're right of course Dan.

It's my memory that's like... you know, one of those things... holes and that.
