My Sisters wardrobe

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.

Got all those,which one was returned? You would also have got a lot more for the Planet Edge shirt if I hadn't bought one from a fellow ebayer a couple of days before.Sorry about that!

The Event Horizon was returned. No problem re: Planet Edge - it found a good home :-)

Just a general notice on HL so anyone that may want to get any of these can contact me etc.

congrats on the Reading purchase Ribbons. There was a guy there with the American version of the Dr.Jeep design who was most upset to see it at Reading.

... never ... well, never say never, but no, only a short look at the "g" indicates it's no Arial whatsoever.

:eek: ... :roll: ... oh, I'm talking about the back of the shirt.

It looks different to me, as if the font there were not the same but thinner and with (very) slight serifs ...



... still not sure, but could, of course, as well be my aging eyes ... :oops: :lol: ...
