If I am writing a letter and beginning it with 'Dear Sirs,' do I end it with Faithfully or Sincerely?

[blues_r_best]

I dunno

[chadded]

Cheers mate

[blues_r_best]

Thats alright. I'm guessing its your application for the Southend job.

[chadded]

Yes. Im deadly serious about it as well.

[The Artful Shrimper]

Faithfully if you don't really know the person to whom you are writing
Sincerely if you have met or know them.

[chadded]

Cheers. When I get the job, you can sell some programmes.

[blues_r_best]

I'm serous too, I need to write the letter, the CV is complete (albeit short)

[Matt the Shrimp]

Artful is correct, although the necessary implication of "Dear Sir" "Dear Sirs" or "Dear Sir/Madam" is that you don't know them, otherwise you'd write "Dear Mr. Smith".

So:

Dear Sirs - Yours faithfully

Dear Mr. Smith - Yours sincerely

Hope that helps.

Besides, with a girlfriend for a journalist and me as a lawyer, I'm well aware that wordplay & foreplay are entirely compatible.

Slipknot are, surely, somewhere between Thash and Nu Metal? Certainly not grunge at any rate.

Supposedly, one of the Busted trio went to the same school as me (although, obviously, about a decade after I was there...). So I should like them... but I don&#39;t. It&#39;s still boyband pap, in a different package.

Give me Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Roy Ayers, Sarah Vaughan... etc. etc. any day of the week.

Showing your age now Durera. I am sure FM did not mean Poison the group as he seems to be just naming songs.

Poor old Poison you mean you dont like their classics like Every Rose Has Its Thorn or Nothing But a Good Time. http://www2.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

They were just a pop version of Motley Crue or Guns N Roses, who brought us Sleaze Metal along with LA Guns and Faster Pussycat. These bands grew tired of the glam look of big hair, make up and spandex *which was rife in the 80s metal scene.

Have to agree RHCP are not as good as their were in their early days but did not get the recognition then. RHCP along with Faith No More were the founders of the musical direction which is now Nu-Metal. I feel Nu-Metal style was really defined when Anthrax teamed up with Public Enemy to give us Bring The Noise. The best of both genres Thrash Metal and Rap.

Busted maybe not be to some people&#39;s taste but at least they play live whenever possible which to me is the main thing about being a band.

Hendrix was a caterlist and had a unique form of music, the who well are just great (I am related to one of the members R.I.P) and The beatles had a long long time b4 Lennon died as you know.

Quote[/b] (Guest @ Nov. 06 2003,10:49)]Durera, all im saying is i find it laughable that teenagers and grown adults walk around with a dead rock star on there t shirts.

Hendrix was a caterlist and had a unique form of music, the who well are just great (I am related to one of the members R.I.P) and The beatles had a long long time b4 Lennon died as you know.
<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>Eh?&#33;&#33; As I said, Nirvana was a catalyst for a change in music that was being dominated by fabricated music - basically the durge off of Essex FM, you never had XFM back then you know - Radio 1 was still poppier than pop, and everything was inescapable, despite the start of Raves etc in the UK....

But Nirvana was international, and more importantly inspirational to most of today&#39;s bands (even Take That used to cover Teen Spirit for Christs sake&#33;), so how could it be laughable that grown adults wear a dead rock star on their shirts?

However, if you mean those poxy date shirts, or those sick ones with the suicide note on I actually agree&#33;

I also, can&#39;t believe you&#39;re bemoaning the fact that teenagers wear Nirvana shirts - they&#39;re trying to find their identities, as you should well understand....

And what&#39;s more laughable, Meatloaf of Nirvana?&#33;
Oh&#33; And Nirvana had at least 7 years before Kurt died...</span>

One of the best tracks on one of the best soul albums of the 1990s.

After New Edition Ricky Bell, Ronnie Devoe, and Micheal Bivins formed a three man group called Bell Biv Devoe.

The album produced five Top Five soul hits in the US-&quot;Poison&quot;, &quot;Do Me&#33;,&quot; &quot;BBD (I Thought It Was Me)?,&quot; &quot;When Can I See You Smile Again?&quot; and &quot;She&#39;s Dope&#33;&quot; - and sold some 4 million copies

P.S. Luke - the Nirvana comment was risible. You are, unfortunately, too young to realise how much of an impact Nirvana made whilst Kurt was alive; almost single-handedly, they created a movement, embodied a zeitgeist, shifted perceptions on fashion and music. They were huge, and that&#39;s why Nevermind is still regularly thought of as one of the top 10 most influential rock albums of all time. It was thus whilst Kurt Cobain was alive; if anything, his death diminished Nirvana&#39;s influence, not helped it to grow.

I saw Mansun back in 97- it was the worst gig of my life. Lasted 40 minutes at most, and the only good song was Vicar&#39;s Stripper or something.The rest was indie dirge.

Durera i want to make this very clear i do despise pop and record manufacured bands.

However whilst i do like some heavy rock and i do like some Kurts music but i find it laughable that SOME teenagers walk around, not know most songs but think that Kurt Kobain &#39;is a rebel&#39; so ill wear a hoddie with him on, im so kool.

And there is nothing wrong with Meatloaf, although i have got into the wedding singer soundtrack of late.

P.S Naps, it was John

Well, that&#39;s debatable. The Stones were the best, IMO.

But the Who were OK- shame they&#39;ve sold out and have their music used for everything these days (CSI, etc)
