How can I support the artist?

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.

You will, just say something rude about Glasgow! :lol:
Now I am truly terrified.

Isn't Glasgow the only city in the world where terrorists have to be protected from the general public?

:notworthy: :lol: :notworthy:
Really. I was serious.

You must admit that it is a beautiful story that makes Glasgow look like the true home of the brave.

I know the cabbie has been somewhat discredited.

But, I also think that any terrorist would think again before strking your city.

It's great!

so the bomb attempt on the airport 4 years ago didn't show up on your radar?
Glasgow International Airport attack

Smeaton, a baggage handler, was off duty when he saw the incident start to develop. He later recalled his first thoughts on being confronted by the two desperate suspects who drove a burning jeep filled with explosives into the airport entrance. He heard three explosions as he smoked a cigarette during his break: "What's the score? I've got to get this sorted."
He added "I thought, 'That's not right,' and ran over to assist. All that was going through my mind was I've got to help the policeman, I'm not letting these guys get away with this."[5]
It was reported that Smeaton shouted "fuckin' mon, then" and aimed a kick at Kafeel Ahmed, who later died from his 90% burns following the attack.[2][6]
During the incident Smeaton also helped drag Michael Kerr to safety after Kerr, another person to intervene in the event, had been left lying with a broken leg beside the burning jeep after kicking Mr Ahmed himself.[4]
The incident has been described as inspiring others to take personal initiative and act decisively in a crisis. Newsagent and former policeman Mohammed Afzah cited Smeaton as inspiration for his facing down and repelling a would-be armed robber.[7]
In late July, Smeaton returned to his old job as a baggage handler at the airport.[8] Later in the year he accepted a job as head of security at a nearby company.[9]
On 18 December 2007, it was announced that Smeaton was to be awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his actions;[10][11] this was presented by the Queen at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on 4 March 2008.

Yes. It did.

I think it was a tremendous response to a despicable act.

Not that it makes any difference, but my favorite grandfather was born on Moss Street, Dennistoun.

He always said that there is no one more dangerous than a 'Glasgow tough'.

So, forgive me if I find the story a bit heartwarming.

Eeeeh - serious question time. You seem a mite too familiar with some of our in-jokes and stuff for a newbie. Have we seen you round here before?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

No. I have never been here before.

In fact, I discovered The Sisters of Mercy within the last few weeks.

As for implicating me in your jokes....either they are flying right over my head or I am very clever.

I will let you decide which :wink:

OK, that's the second time you've done it now.

I think it was just mutual kidding around.

Who would be offended at that one?
