Come on then...what was Number One when you were torn from

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.

And now it transpires that even QB is a sprog. Sigh.

Em- I thought it was the website that had made the mistake, not you...!

As for me, they didn't have pop music when I was born. I expect pianola rolls were doing a cracking trade though.

Or so it feels, some days...
