Claims To Fame!

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.

Is anyone else thinking Prince?

I initially read Jimmy Saville there!!! It might take some days to shake that image from my mind :lol:
No, it wasn't wee Jimmy Somerville. In fact, in vocal terms you're at completely the wrong end of the register.

Been working for music festivals for 15 years so met a lot of people (never VON :cry: ), well there are some of the most outstanding and less pathetic stories (at least those I sort of remember)

Drove around town with a hijacked Garbage van with members from Daisy Chainsaw.

Wrapped one member of Ego Express in tape (while naked).

Fell asleep in the Blue Aeroplanes tourbus, when I woke up I was in Paris.

Got lost for hours in a field with 3 members form Kool and the Gang at 3 am.

Danced for 2 hours onstage while Laurent Garnier was djing before I realized where I was, then continued.


But I really most fondly remember a nice chat and few drinks with Ray Cokes.

Now, I like that idea! Sadly, though, it wasn't.

Lemmy, Dylan, Prince .... After all these guesses, if I do tell now it can only be an anti-climax. As it were.

...got an unexpected "new member" mention in the recent CT/western MA Mensa chapter's newsletter. Unless "Praveen" is a girl's name, I'm the only female in the new member bunch.
Hmmmmmmm. With a ratio like that, perhaps I should start attending meetings! :lol: :twisted: :innocent:

Everyone on here knows mine! :lol:

Though I did get chatted up by Danny from the Wildhearts once, and went to Hecate Enthroned's party in their hotel room at the Inferno festival - oh and I'm fairly sure that I made the guitarist from Wolfsbane a sandwich when I worked in a sandwich shop when I was about 14. Ermmmmm and I know two people who are in a band with Andreas from 1349 \m/
