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?

- CD's/LP's/7/12inch/bootlegs/videos/obscure shit owned All official releases and far too many dodgy live recordings from ATR & DigiMike

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.
