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.
They get a namecheck in the Uk's top ten paper back fiction chart.
In at number ten ..!
'Do You Remember The First Time?' - Jenny Colgan
Basic plot; 30 something female wishes she could rewind her life back to her Uni days and hey ho! she gets the chance and goes back to all her old haunts with her wider knowledge and experience.
Page 220 -
"'You'd better come in,' said Justin. I walked in. This was the room at the back of the house that used to be Celland's. In his day it was covered in Sisters of Mercy posters, with shelves lined with dog-eared orange Penguin originals and a black-and-white striped duvet, and small pieces of crucifixion jewellery hanging around."
It's an unusual namecheck unless you're working from memory. Ms Colgan was born in 1972 and went to Edinburgh Uni so if she gets really famous (a la JK Rowling) I suggest we blackmail her as a sectret goth.
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

A second example of the same phenomenon - I recently read Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by Andrew Collins, and he mentions having a poster of the Sisters of Mercy on his bedroom wall in dorms, this time at Chelsea College of Art in the 1980s.

I'm sorry about that last message. The quality of my contributions will inevitably deteriorate as I approach one thousand posts. Call this the First Law of Overbombing.

What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
I have read *Cough* novel, along with "waiting for Andrew McCarthy". These *Cough* novels were given away free with monthly womens magazines a few years back. Before you ask - Mrs Goth bought them!
IMHO they, these novels are "Crap" sorry JB. Kathy Lette is much much better!
Christ Andy, I didn't say I'd actually read the damn thing. The Sisters reference was pointed out by a female commuter colleague who knows that I am an anorak as far as all things Sisters go.
