I only took a packet of wine gums and a packet of jelly babies in with me. I was terrified they would get confiscated. :o

 

But they didn't. The burly man who searched my bag scowled a bit but let me through ok. ^_^

I know. I always seem to drink more alcohol when the weather is hot and sunny. Or when it's cold for that matter :unsure:

He likes baths. See, I told you we were made for each other :wub: :wub: :wub:

Yes!!!! She was there last night. :w00t:

Hola! :w00t:

 

Just reporting in to let you know I'm still in the land of the living. Just been really busy with (very drunken) RL stuff these past few nights. I'll be back with you on full posting duty tomorrow night. :heart:

S'pose I'd better attempt sleep. <_<

 

 

See ya tomorrow. :heart:

I used to frequent such places :(

I feel there should be a whippet in that video. :P

My alarm goes off for work at 6am :arrr:

 

 

Ditto :(

 

 

Where has Sparkle Jnr gone? A hip and trendy club? :unsure:

David Guetta: Bono Disappeared After Asking Me To Work With U2

 

 

June 30, 2011 by Jason Gregory

 

David Guetta has revealed that he has not been involved with the production on U2's new album, despite previous claims that he was.

 

Earlier this year, the French producer said he was “honoured” to be chosen by singer Bono to work with the band.

 

But in a new interview, Guetta revealed that after having an initial meeting the pair have not spoken since.

 

"We actually met with Bono and we spoke about it. He announced it in some of his interviews so I started to announce it, too, because he spoke about it, and then we never spoke again,” he told Billboard.

 

“So it might happen one day - I would love to - but he kind of disappeared.”

 

Meanwhile, Guetta also denied that he was working Britney Spears or Madonna on their new material.

Think I might buy one. Could erect it in my back garden. :smoke:

U2 to sell 360° tour 'claw' stages

 

Irish rockers plan to 'recycle' 390-tonne steel structures used for world tour, converting them into permanent venues

 

 

U2 are going to sell off their claws. As soon as their world tour ends in July, the Irish rockers plan to "recycle" the 390-tonne steel structures in which they performed for the last two years, converting them into amphitheatres across "four different continents".

 

At the moment U2 own four separate claw stages, each of which cost between £15m and £20m to build. The claws have been vital to the success of the band's 360° tour, allowing sets to be constructed in four different cities at the same time. But after the final date of the tour on 30 July, these gargantuan structures will suddenly stop being so useful. The tour will be over and U2, inevitably, declawed.

 

"It's certainly our intention to see these things recycled into permanent and usable ventures," U2 tour director Craig Evans told Billboard.biz. "It represents too great an engineering feat to just use for [the tour] and put away in a warehouse somewhere."

 

This isn't just a matter of ego: it's not easy finding a warehouse big enough for four 29,000 sq ft monoliths, each of which requires 120 transport lorries. The hope is that the claws could be transformed "into full interior pavilions and amphitheatres", Evans said. "Some major events have shown interest in these, from four different continents ... They're something you can put up on a waterfront and become an instant skyline icon."

 

Architect Mark Fisher, who designed the claws, has been proposing similar ideas for years. "We'll leave them around the world in places that would be convenient," he told the BBC in 2009. "[spots] where people could use a nice concert pavilion in a park." That same summer, Bono jokingly offered a claw to the city of London, for use at the 2012 Olympics. "We'll give you a good deal when the tour finishes," he said.

 

Whereas Fisher originally proposed the claws could be donated to cities "for free" – "We would have beaten [the tour] to death by that point," he quipped – such philanthropy no longer seems to be on the table. The claws will be sold, according to Billboard. After all, the 360° tour has only grossed, er, about £450m. "Having been part of the biggest tour of all time, they're pretty well tried and tested," Evans said. "We know that the inquiries will keep coming in."

 

No! :o

 

 

Well it wasn't me. Are you sure? :unsure:

Between him next door and the daft kid banging up and down my street on a skateboard I'm not going to get much sleep tonight. :angry:

Looking forward to the dvd. But looking forward much more to Robbie's new solo album :w00t:

My neighbour is snoring so loudly. I can hear him through the wall. :angry:

Aren't you next? :unsure:

U2's Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark Musical Becomes Box Office Hit

 

After its first week...

June 29, 2011 by Holly Frith

 

U2-scored musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, has become a box office smash after its first week of release.

 

Despite being hit by a series of delays the musical, which opened on Broadway on June 14, has generated over $1.7 million (£1.06m) in ticket sales over the last week, reports the Associated Press.

 

Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is now the third most popular musical on Broadway behind Wicked and The Lion King.

 

U2's Bono and The Edge have also written new songs for the revamped production which has been nine years in the making.

 

Meanwhile, U2 frontman Bono has admitted he felt “sick with nerves” before the Irish band headlined last weekend's Glastonbury festival in Somerset.

Mother Jupiter tut tutted at the photo of her in the Sun. I think I heard the words floosy, skirt and knickers being uttered :unsure:

Yip, and when he gets to Wembley, the London crowd will be the best of the tour (or is that maybe stretching things a bit too far :unsure: :P ). He has said the same thing at every concert he's done for the last 20 years. And we still fall for it. :lol:

My late dad used to say that any rich person who isn't a Tory is seriously bonkers. :lol: (Or alternatively they are so rich that money ceases to matter a jot to them).

 

I have always thought that Gaz is very money orientated. He is a music businessman at heart I think.

 

Robbie, I don't think so. He probably falls into the second category.

The Actor was my favourite. I think Rudebox is a seriously good album. It was just a bit long. He should have dropped a couple of the covers. Oh and ditched the title track. A very unfairly maligned piece of work imho. -_-

My weather has been quite nice today (except for the heavy rain around lunchtime). I ventured out for a walk tonight. I saw a badger. And a squirrel. :wub:

 

 

PS, I'm on strike tomorrow. Hence my late appearance. It feels like a Friday night :w00t:

U2's Bono: I Wanted To Throw Up Before Glastonbury 2011 Slot

Glastonbury Festival Tickets

 

U2 frontman Bono has admitted he felt “sick with nerves” before the Irish band headlined last weekend's Glastonbury festival in Somerset.

 

The group topped the bill on the Friday night (June 24) on the Pyramid Stage.

 

Speaking to the BBC, Bono said: "I wanted to throw up. Whenever you see me giving up a lot of attitude that means I'm terrified.

 

“I felt like I was going to retch at the side of the stage."

 

U2's career-spanning performance went ahead despite an attempted protest by a campaign group against the group's alleged tax dodge.
