hey people well I've finally decided to join in and post one of my poems. BTW the subject line isnt a hassle of anyone else's contributions, it's the title of the poem! PS I wrote this when I was a cynical and hurting and lonely 17-year-old, which may explain a lot... ___________ I love thee...

hey Bubba, I liked your poem I also write poetry, but none that I'm willing to share. At present, anyway! but I was moved to write by the subsequent discussion of 'closure' and the problems that result if you dont get it. Thought I'd share my experiences...(though I may regret this!) When I...

salut! je ne suis pas canadienne, je suis neozelandaise, mais j'ai etudie le francais pour six ans. Mes parents sont neozelandaises aussi, mais ils se sont maries a Quebec, a cote du Gatineau (sp?), pres d'un petit ville que s'appelle Hull. Ils ont habite dans le village 'cantley', disent-moi...

hi guys I'm resurrecting this topic from waaaaay back because I have finally purchased the 'best of' album by James. I am very impressed. So far my favourite track is "Sometimes" which is just amazing. Also 'she's a star', which I hadnt heard before, and 'Laid' and 'destiny calling' which were...

hmm...no responses well, popfortheplanet, I guess we have to face the truth. In the immortal words of the great Tiffany, one of the brightest stars of the late 80s and early 90s who is sadly missed today - "I think we're alone now..." Mermaid

Ciao alle italiane, grazie per l'aiuto! (=hi to the Italians and thanks for helping out). I was glad to see someone with a bit more authority step in and give their opinion! Sjajana - welcome to the forum! Whereabouts in Italy do you live? As I said earlier, I have studied Italian so a reply in...

yes, I too have been away for a few days, and I'm just beginning here! daunting task... I've heard of Purleigh, but not in connection with witches - it gets a mention in a Monty Python sketch about climbing Mt Kilimanjaro (sp?). My intimate knowledge of Monty Python should answer the question...

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I might have a look for that CD at work, Brian. And very interesting about the witchtrials coincidence, Aine - is your friend studying trials in Europe, Russia/Scandinavia, or England? My essay is just on Essex, the county in England where they had the most trials...

Well I'm not Italian, but I studied it at university for 3 years, so perhaps I might do as a stand-in...I just went over to the lyric archive to have a look. The translation does look pretty accurate, as one:love suggested. Only a couple of points to make: the first line 'Dici che il fiume'...

hi guys My credentials for contributing to this topic are as follows (not that I need an excuse, of course, but anyway): 1) I myself am mostly Irish, very many people in New Zealand have Irish blood since so many Irish people emigrated to NZ in the 19th century. I was interested to hear about...

bloody hell, mate, this place is just crawling with bloody Australians! (Yes, I'm a Kiwi, why do you ask?!! ) no, seriously, I am really amazed at the number of Aussies on this forum! Yay for reminding the rest of the world that there *is* intelligent life below the Equator. There's only 1...

kia ora! as far as I know, there are only 2 New Zealanders currently in this forum. So if any more Kiwis have shown up, feel free to make yourselves known here. Or if anyone else has been to NZ, or has a question about our fair land, jump on in! Mermaid

Hey Bubba, thanks, that's very nice of you. I enjoy lyric analysis as much as the next girl, so I'll look forward to contributing. And Achtung Bebe: well, I tell you, it's getting harder and harder. BD is (almost) all that anyone is talking about around here!!! And posts which dont say what...

hey Bubba I'm one example of a 'young one' (I'm 21) who really prefers the more recent stuff. I dont even own anything prior to the Unforgettable Fire! no doubt I will eventually buy the earlier stuff, and no doubt I will like it - but I can relate far better to the U2 of the late 80s and 90s...

good god david, that really is pretty obsessive... not that obsession is a bad thing or anything - in fact it's a very admirable attribute in a U2 fan!!! Mermaid ------------------ she moves in mysterious ways...

aw, no fair Bubba!!! I'm still resisting all temptation to hear the new single before it comes out. This is getting to be a serious test of my willpower - and now you're inciting me to read and analyse all the lyrics before even hearing the song! And then there's the track listing, and everyone...

getting back to "daddy's gonna pay...": I'm really surprised to hear the interpretations you guys have come up with. I always thought, or assumed, that it was about incest, a girl being molested by her father. I mean, just look at the lyrics: 'daddy gives you as much as you can take' 'butterfly...

hiya just thought I'd share the very odd dream I had the other night. it started off amazingly well - U2 came to my house!!! they were hanging around in the garden with lots of other people, press maybe. For some reason it was the ZOOTV-era. I was talking to Bono, and everything was cool, but...

hey AM well I guess if you've grown up with U2 as part of the background to your life - just part of the furniture as it were - you wouldnt be as likely to appreciate them as much as someone living in an unfurnished flat. hmm...dont know if that made sense!!! but hopefully you see what I mean...

hey SailorJi I just listened to the Sweetest Thing (which incidentally used to piss me off but is now growing on me) and I have no clue what he says. Are you referring to the single or the B-side version? I listened to the best of version - and do you mean the high or low bit in that section of...

oh yeah with reference to your other points: I think some of the $20 ones may be either new or very rare. There are others for around 10 which is what singles tend to be new, as far as I know. Maybe they are jsut cheaper in Dunedin, most things are I'm told! But we have some fantastic shops up...

ohmygod that would be FANTASTIC if I could borrow your singles. A friend of a friend owns a burner, so it shouldnt be too difficult to get them copied. How many do you have altogether? like I said I'm particularly after ones from AB onwards, but I'd also like to hear that one 'night and day'...

hey pop oh god yes it's incredibly dangerous. I now have a computer in my room which is great for essay writing but far too tempting when email and the internet are just a few clicks away...fortunately I got an extension on my essay till next week, which helps I'm looking forward to my first...

hiya AM! It's really odd to hear that liking U2 is uncool in Ireland; sadly it's the same in New Zealand, at least among people my age (I'm 21). When I say I'm a U2 fan they just say 'oh, ok' or 'uh-huhhhhh'. Anyway, I am mostly Irish and I hope to get an Irish passport when I travel - I want...

hey 'pop', yes I'm still here! yeah it's weird, the entire topic I started seems to have disappeared. welcome to the twilight zone... anyway, back to varsity after holidays, eh? I have a history essay to write this week (hence I have just spent over an hour on this site. dont you love...
