Stats (or what I've been doing over the years)

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.

I came across a load of old ticket stubs today which, together with hazy recollection, leads me to conclude that I've been to one hundred and twenty-five gigs since 1989.
Twenty-three of those were the Sisters and a further three were the Smurphs. Obsessed much, me? :innocent: :oops:

Anyway that means 18.4 % of the gigs I've been to were Sisters' gigs.
I've been to an average of 1.0952 Sisters gigs a year since first seeing them (and I know which ones were 0.0952 of a gig), and a general average of 5.952 gigs a year.

Apparently on 12 February 2000, I went to see Ozric Tentacles, something I have no recollection of whatsoever!
Given the date and who I was hanging out with back then, I'm not terribly surprised.

Yes, I have been very bored this evening, and thought I'd share that boredom out!

since 2001 I have seen 203 gigs (must have forgotten quite a few because the number must be higher)
and of those it was 11 times TSOM and one time the smurphs :P

I know, it does not matter what kind of number we come up with.

That's what I get for not being specific. :lol:

I did, of course, mean prior to his sacking in '75.

I did see Hawkwind on the Warrior tour but he'd been replaced by Paul Rudolph by then and Stacia had taken her knorks home too :|

Probably as well, 'cause that would be an embarrassment of riches for one man to have beheld. :wink:
