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.

London's alright to visit...seeing that it's only 75 miles away from me (or an hour by train)...but then i guess any of the larger cities are good for a quick visit...take in the sights...find a cosy bar...and then catch the band that you've travelled all that way to see...
I found London to be a woefully impersonal place. The cost of living was awful, the food was crap, the class structure was pronounced, there was too much complacency, and the musicians were more interested in "making it" than in making music...
.... there is no semblance of rock 'n roll around here!

i kinda liked the impersonal touch of Londoners...i can also complain about the cost of living...but it's not that bad in comparison the where i live anyways...the food is always pants...i live only in donut shops, buger bars and coffee shops...everywhere else is over priced for the sake of it...the class structure?...do you mean that it offends you to see stupid people with money being ripped off?...oh puhlease!!...i dunno about complacency...most people i meet and talk to are too damn paranoid about how they look to be complacent...and the musician thing...if you listen to them...they ain't locals...usually they're americans...or northerners...*sorry...had to get that in*...trying to break in the music capital of the world...what else would they be there for??
over all...London has to be taken with a huge pinch of salt...it's one ugly sprawling garish self important impotent fcuk up of a place...but hey...i was born there...
London is a very pretty city, especially on a sunny day walking along Charing Cross past Trafalgar Square.... I never found it impersonal, and most ppl I met were nice to me, even in the shops where I have an awful time with your money, coin that is not paper. I understand there's a bit of pomposity in the (English/Londoners) people, and I find that amusing as last time I was there I was with a 6 foot goth dressed all in black. Talk about turning heads in a 5 star hotel. It only made me laugh, but that's part of being american, and I don't care what ppl think.
I would like to go back again simply because there is so much there that I haven't seen. Including Mark Manning...
Can't have stuff like that up anymore. Capital of Culture don'tcha know
