Thanks - don't know how I missed that!

Hi all, I'm seeing U2 in the London 02 arena on Sunday. Do we have any idea what the start time will be? The ticket says 6pm, but I don't want to turn up 3 hours early. On the other hand London transport doesn't go too late on a Sunday (midnight or so) and the venue is quite far East. Any ideas?

The article implies that there were 24,958 returns this Christmas but that can't be right. I haven't even heard of the site and that's a huge number. Perhaps the Joshua Tree is their most returned album ever, not just this December. In a way it isn't that much of an insult - lots of returns...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7215226.stm McGuinness speaks out. Slightly disappointed at the BBC's reporting of this - U2's name is being lent to statements that have nothing to do with U2. Also, I think it would be very harsh to penalise ISPs for what their users do.
