Smurphs support Half Man Half Biscuit! Sept 21st!

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.

Nah, he'd be on Paddy's side. Note the hair colour - looks a touch ginger to me!

Now of course if we could persuade Paddy to dress all in pink... :D
Very little of what you believe to be true is actually the case.

Dear me Paddy, you think Sid would have been 'with the programme' before opening his mouth.

I'd kick him in the nuts if I were you.

No-one tells me anything, I'm just the singer!

I know your game, trying to stir dissention in the ranks. Then ALL the sandwiches will be yours!

You'll get yours. Paddy and I will take a nut each.

I wonder if they will play "13 eurogoth's floating in the dead sea" , the one that says "summertime's here and I've got no hassle, I could be a goth on a bouncy castle" or "with Goth on our side"

Dear Heartlanders

I believe I know some of you from various other forums where I go/went by the usernames of Cath Aubergine or Blackout. This is largely aimed at my friends as I am not some sort of cheeky blagger.

I have had tickets for this gig for a long time being a bit of a regular Dukla Prague away tripper, but last night sometime around midnight close to Keele Services on the M6 my car engine exploded.

Anyone got space for two people going to/from manchester?

please email me cathaubergine@gmail.com

thank you.
You ain't seen me, right?

I would have, but a lack of funds has intervened.

So not me. :(

Oh and the ginger ones band were good to :innocent: but the Sid wannabe needs to get a haircut.

Time for bed more tomorrow.

Another review from the HMHB site r.e Smurphs....

"The support band were playing when we arrived, I kid you not “The Sisters Of Murphy�, they were actually okay, but they were a lookalikey as well as soundalikey tribute band, unfortunately the guitarist looked like a cross between “Cousin It� from the Addams Family and Joey Ramone, and the singer put me in mind of Sylvester McCoy as Dr Who. The Bassist ironically enough looked very much like Andrew Eldritch, but was pushed to the back. The female singer was the biggest disappointment, she was very attractive, but bear in mind she was singing in a Goth tribute band, she was wearing a smart trouser suit and almost no make up !, come on you’re supposed to be a Goth chick, how hard is it to put on a PVC skirt and fishnets, and would it have killed her to backcomb and slap on a bit of eyeliner !

Although she probably didn’t see much point in getting dressed up, as the smoke machine was set to “Wembley Stadium� output, and most of the time she was invisible behind a cloud of dry ice in what was almost a “Spinal Tap� scenario.

Anyway despite this they were actually very good, and I found myself tapping my feet to “This Corrosion� and a few other ditties I had forgotten existed. "
