Stick 'em up punks

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.

A friend has very kindly got me a ticket to see the Fun Lovin' Criminals tonight so I'm off to the Town & Country Club :wink:

Not a band I'd have ever thought of going seeing off my own back but I;m actually quite looking forward to it.. :)

Mrs fiend's mother, while watching MTV, got the Fun Lovin' Criminals and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers mixed up. Result...

"Did you see those two songs? First it was Red Hot Criminals, then the Fun Lovin' Chilli Peppers."

Saw them at the Pinkpop festival in 1996. Haven't got any of their cd's and don't intend to buy them but they performed pretty well. Big fun actually. 8)

Fun Lovin Criminals - seen 'em a whole heap of times. Huey ALWYAS spots me and sings to me and to me alone :wink:

Best venue? In the middle of Sherwood Forest last year (or it might have been the year before)

Fun lovin Criminals/Alabhama Three Fabtastic fun.

Well it's the morning after and I have to say they were really jolly good. FLC live now gets a coveted spot on the ruffers recommends list.

Told you so. :wink: 8)

Now rush out and buy Come Find Yourself, 100% Colombian, and Living In The City. Don't bother with the other(s?). :notworthy:

for the record i too was at that glastonbury and FLC were the only band i watched all weekend as we had our rig set up in the travelleres field (RIP).
better live than i would have expected, not being a big fan of theirs.
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!"
