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.
Speaking of graveyards, they really knew how to design grave markers back in the day, didn't they?

I know, I know ... sometimes I'm just so Goth it hurts.

I'm with the SINnie-one on this - it may be a gothy cliche but there IS something about gravestones, especially ornate or weathered ones. Those pair are pretty great.

Took some pics up at the Cathedral last weekend. Goff architecture, stained glass windows, even St Mungo's tomb. I think I'm beyond help.
...as am I. Unfortunately, there's nothing of the sort here in the States, unless one jaunts to Boston or some such similar "old" (LOL!) part of the country... Pfffft.

It's funny how we take things like this for granted and forget the relative ages and definition of "old" in different places.
Some days, though, you can't see anything anyway......

I love days like that
Certainly is and the morning (this was about 8ish) was a proper pea-souper on the Tyne. Half expected a lost Holmes and Watson to stride out. Weirdest thing was crossing it on the Metro bridge - white-out either side of the train, above and below too, with no depth cues at all. Very odd indeed!

Not what I meant. A review of the photos on my hard disk a few days ago revealed almost a hundred pictures of various bridges. I'm sure a psychologist would be able to tell me what that particular obsession signifies.
Toying with the idea of a jaunt up to the Necropolis tomorrow, if the weather's OK...
