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.

I quite liked the 'uniform' at our school too... The only rule was you had to be dressed in dark blue (with white or blue shirt), was very handy when being in a rush in the morning
(only thing is: ever since, I refuse to wear anything distantly looking like that )

Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,

well, this topic is so derailed I thought I'd just leave you all to it

Is that not a contradiction in terms?
Do elaborate Libby...
yes...please do elaborate...
well I think the point was that I never actually wore it *to the rules* and managed to get away with it throughout high school. I remember my report when I left saying "her appearance is 'technically' correct"
ETA - these awards were all devised by some people in my year to be given out at the end of exam's party (smoker of the year, slag of the year etc). My name was called out,everyone clapped and cheered (even the bitch brigade who always hated me) and for one instant I was cool - funny, they never thought I was cool before!
Oor guid friend frae doon south is paying a vist to oor capital and is popping through tae Glesga on Wednesday 10th August between the hours of 2pm and 9pm.
I was told at the beginning of Sixth Year that my dyed black hair (which is almost black anyway) would not make me a suitable "ambassador for the school".
I said screw you (not in so many words) and left.
Now do I get the award for "Gothest Gothly Goth on the Board" or what?
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets
one of the deputy-heads at my school sent me home for wearing black sabbath and ac/dc "highway to hell" patches on my denim jacket,saying that i was "being insulting to god and jesus".
my biker/grebo mum (who bought me the jacket and sewed the patches on) sent me and the jacket back with a letter saying that we were satanists and that "a multi-cultural school,should tolerate the religious practices of minorities".
that was the last we heard of that.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Ah see, you can't pull that sort of trick at a Jesuit school...
...more's the pity.

time to resurrect this one as it's only a week away:
looks like today's birthday boy, Smiscandlon is going to make it, still to hear from Bawheid (Big Si), Andrew S will be on the mainland and we all know about boudicca
A venue has still to be settled upon and since I don't get around much anymore, I'm looking for suggestions from you hipsters, flipsters and finger popping daddies.
