How long is a piece of string?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

When do you think the new Sisters Album will be polluting the aisles in your local HMV?

Thanks. I bet most of you pick 'late 2004'; personally I think that's a bit optimistic.

Sadly, deep down, I think the last option is the most likely one...
I wonder if 'MyHeartland' will still be around in 3003?

Who knows? with improvements in medical science, maybe WE will all be around a thousand years from now.

The world will be a perfect, utopian paradise, everyone will live in peace and harmony, man will have explored and colonised deep space, glittering buildings will stretch for miles into the sky... and we'll still be logging on this site everyday (the 'currently listening to' topic will have had over a billion replies by then), spending our free time discussing Von's hair, and obsessing over the minutae of his lyrics....

I think the worse case scenario will be the 25th anniversary. Not even Von would miss that one.

Matching MR logo branded zippos and zimmer frames anyone?
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Yep. No more tees or hoodies either. Pure new wool hand-knitted matching his 'n' hers MR cardies.

Hmmm, I voted for 2006, but I only did that because I thought it was 2004 now, and of course I have now realised that it isn't, and that I am a t**t. Can I change my vote to 2005?

In The Year 2525 always reminds me of Alien 3. And is thus cool.

Yeah, me too. an outrageously underrated film- one of the greatest 'follow-up' films ever made (didn't just rehash old ideas- took the story into strange and interesting places.)

Sorry. the 'string' title was my (witty?) comment on the futility of debating something which we have no control over.

I agree a fantastic film, I do wonder though how it would have turned out if they had gone with William Gibsons script idea of a planet made entirely of wood populated by thousands of monks. Hmm.................

A piece of string is twice as long as half of it.

2005 is the best shot, after that we may give up.

It'll be called "Hearing aid thing".
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Now I will get my coat.. :)

Aside from the dodgy production, my fave album is still 'Frail And Ill And Helpless'.

Any more coats going spare ..?

Will everyone please stop making fun on Johnny Boy, even if he is making fun of himself.
