Explain your name

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.

Well, somehow it is you. I have become familiar with your avatar. Almost think that you look like that for real.

I like to chip slivers of gold from coins of the realm and add lead to them, store up the shavings and then make a new coin or two.....

Not yet mate, I did visit it again the other day though. Bought some furniture from the people selling and also took a load of photos.

I'm hoping to be in sometime in early November, all being well :D

They'll be more than one as 4 people is the max - in the lounge anyway. Am getting it cosy though! Just put in dimmer switches (essential) and am considering neon fx in the kitchen...

Well, my name is Andy and I'm a Mackem. Put the two together and it makes sense.

For those who are unaware, a Mackem is a native of Sunderland. That's a grey industrial town on the NE coast of England.

The name supposedly derives from the local accent, but I don't sound remotely like that.
Names are just a souvenir ...

There is a Ce||One and a Ce||Two. Both are in Tokyo at the moment raising merry hell. They went to Hello Kitty Land a couple of days ago. I don't believe it has been closed down yet, but the Japanese Govt may have covered it up to avoid an "incident". Ce||One returns to the UK next week and Ce||Two is going on tour in Thailand for the foreseeable future.

It all started from an online religion that we set up (as a joke) a few years back. We have forgotten who Ce||Four and Five were, Ce||Six scared the life out of us (think 16yr old devilworshipping psychochild), Ce||'s Seven, Eight and Nine have disappeared into the ether and Ce||Ten and Ce||Eleven were swedish lesbian poets.

It stopped being funny so we cut all ties.
