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.

Yeah, I'm not going to append this to the existing slightly depressed thread; it just looks like whining after the last few posts of that thread.
But...
I am currently p*ssed off by the fact that the boiler in our house has broken down. Given that it is about 20 years old, I am not optimistic that it is repairable, and installation of a new one will basically wipe out the funds we had saved for a holiday this year.

perhaps it could be locked , out of respect, so that no-one unthinkingly does what you didn't?
..oh, and sorry to hear about your boiler.

I'm cool. Seriously. It's a shame.
I have one bottle of Brooklyn Lager to 'celebrate' our none togetherness.
So I'll drink it now and raise a toast to you and Kerry.
And wonder what could have been.

As you all might remember, my dad has been fighting bowel cancer. Yesterday evening he passed away.
