Hey Shugz
I'll be updating the primary Factory Discog site (http://www.factoryrecords.info) with 383 very soon.
Johnny Giles spotted me some badges when he was here in Oz for the Ashes, but I could use images of every 383-relevent artifact, including some pix of the Vikings themselves :)
Cheers Dennis Remmer dennisremmer@yahoo.com.au
Dennis, send me an email with a list of the badges you have and I'll top up yer collection.
Can also let you have some .jpgs of the designs and a scan of that all-important certificate that AHW signed (under no pressure at all from OldMonkey!)

Why was Fac 69 never used?
Speaking of, I leave to to Al & Johnny to give me the list of "real" Vikings so I can update their "custom rank" ;)
Cheesy, but still

But I have a Viking's badge!

Poor use of the apostrophe, Craig! ;)
Which Viking's badge have you got? And why haven't you given it back to them?

Peel Day...
I shall melt it down, fashion it into tiny horns and adhere it to my baseball cap.
Although I'd love to have Viking above my name instead of Slavation Member, the hassell of creating a list just wouldnae be worth it. It would just end up with people arguing. Leave the Viking tag with Jarvo and JG 
In fairness, I don't think anyone should have it above their name.
I'm happy to relinquish the Viking bit.
And am sure JG will be too. Well, he probably won't but he only logs in here once a month anyways and probably doesn't even realise he's got it! :\ohwell:
Does anyone really pay any attention to the whole "Member of" or rank system on NOOL?
Next we'll all be wearing special badges at gigs 
Shut it Skullcrusher.
Al should still be a Viking.
So should Shug, since he signs each one of his posts with the smiley and is, quite clearly, a Viking.
Rutter makes the grade 'cos he fits the description so well, roaming the world doing what he wants. Besides, once a Viking, always a Viking.
So I'd add Shug to the existing list and make the rest of us earn it. Vikings can be added when they demonstrate they make the grade in future action.
A bit like the VC.

The clear on clear FAC383 badge is ex- cel lent. Hints to The Crystal CD single mentioned.
Sadly it's only a virtual badge - we never had it made (yet).
The yellow/blue ones are real though - lovely.
I was wearing mine in the pub at dinner time - someone asked me what it was. I told him and he said "You sad man".
Which was nice.
Can we have an X-factor style audition where wannabe Vikings have to make a case for their Viking status?

- Drinks consumed So many that I can never remember the setlist by the time the gig has finished
- Meals missed Proper Vikings don't eat when they are drinking
- Hours sleep missed Vikings don't sleep when we're on tour (unless it's the car on the way home after too many beers)
- Drugs taken Yep, but it's not hard or clever....but a great laugh
- Corruption rate of baby vikings 'taken under wing' No-one's quite the same after meeting up with us
- Badges owned All of them, except the first effort that Jarvo did, that disappeared :D
- CD's/LP's/7/12inch/bootlegs/videos/obscure shit owned All official releases and far too many dodgy live recordings from ATR & DigiMike
- Fights We're too busy drinking, though I nearly hit a policeman in Liverpool and got fined 80 notes for it
- Villages ransacked Kettering several times
- Pillaging It has been known. See answer 14
- Favourite band member All of em
- NOOL trivia I have slept with at least 8 people from this site
- Number of guitars owned Is guitar another name for beer?
- Tattoo's Yep the borromean triangles, see avatar to the left
- Sickie's pulled Too many to mention
- Viking roar Usually between most songs at a gig and it's usually "Play Age Of Consent ya miserable bastards"
- Ability to drive a long boat I'd have a go

Just virtual or not.. The Silver edges and 'opally creme background is still one Hell 'ov a Design.
The Viking criteria think RLyons described best. When he said PHooky said, to the effect, that there are a bunch of the same Faces that we'll see through the Tours from stage. Same bunch of Faces all over the world, through the Tourin' years.
