Heartland

Bought this online for about a tenner (see pic below).

Is it:
a) a daft souvenir from the land of pyramids
or
b) the "official" VT belt buckle



Help appreciated

its official.

it was some random promo from the VT album. dont know the exact reason/history though, sorry

i was given one a few years ago but never wore it, so i donated it to the boy sinister

(sorry andrew s )

Looks 100% official to me. Not too many made it was a promotional item and originally came with a black leather belt. Bargin price.

Matt..

But yes indeed, it looks like a daft souvenir from the land of pyramids.

even if it's not souvenir it looks daft and horrible, it almost burned my eyes.

Cheers boss! I wear mine now and then, naff and tacky or not!

AndrewS has his own now, so that shadow no longer hangs over me...

Pretty sure LeeWhizz has his own as well!

We should form a club. Or a self-help group.

Thanks for the quick replies!

I wasn't my intention of wearing it, it's just a nice thing to have.

Claire got me a Sisters belt buckle, but on closer inspection is turned out to be pink and white and surrounded by diamanté or some such. It was... bling.

It was a lovely gift, just a little unwearable

I don't understand. What's the problem?

not enough diamanté.

and the pink wasn't the right shade.

Indeed,appearently it was your belt buckle that I commented on on the stairs in TJ's in Leamington,after which my girlfriend felt the need to tell me that you were wearing a Sisters shirt as well "yes dear,I noticed that"

David,
I can see why your GF might be surprised to see someone else wearing another Sisters T-shirt - It's not often you see people wearing them at their concerts is it?

Ah, on the narrow staircase up to the rooms? Yes, I recall that! Always a pleasure to meet another Heartlander!

I figured I could get away with a Sisters tee that weekend. Although at the gig I did wear my Eureka Machines shirt instead.

It came with actual postcards? Mine (second hand) doesn't. What were they of?

As far as I know, it was NOT with actual postcards ... I ordered from The Reptile House and it was without.

Nah, the book never came with actual postcards.

The 'postcards' were metaphorical - the lyrics were the postcards, written while von was 'above' the 'chemists'.

It came in paperback and hardback flavours iirc (I don't own a copy but I know a few people that do).

Reading it was probably the first time I saw the real, actual, official versions of those early lyrics (rather than some dodgy Italian or german pseudo translation...)

oh, i saw few copies on ebay with additional postcards, so i thought it was originally send by reptile along with the book

When I ordered the hardback edition from Reptile House six postcards were included, makes me feel old when I realise how many years ago it was... and Lachert if you're still looking for the postcards I think I have a spare set, just pm your address.

so i'm not totally insane?

xfloorshowx pm on the way!
