That string vest...

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.

For those of you who managed to make it to the Leeds gig...

... what is all this about :von: in a string vest? :eek:
I've been trying to reconcile the thought of my leather-clad love-god from the "This Corrosrion" video with another memorable image...

(That's Rab C. Nesbitt, for those of you who are lucky enough never to have been "treated" to BBC Scotland "comedy")

Is this what we're talking about?
(Any photos? :innocent: )

Just tell me straight, Doktor...

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

That's what they'll look like in my imagination too forever... Though I have to admit with what Black Alice said in some other place: You can't keep holding on to a certain look forever if it won't work...

which is no excuse at all for a look like this :lol:
Styles are a lie.
