Breaky Bottom, East Sussex, England Superthread

[Axver]

So I'm calculating stats in readiness for the next thread, our year anniversary, and some of these stats are just ... terrifying for me.

But at least I'm sure they'll make everybody else who charts highly feel pretty good in comparison!

 

[coolian2]

is it wrong i consider midday early to be awake, and if we weren't planning on going out I'd go back to sleep?

 

[Axver]

Somebody's not gotten over his jetlag properly.

 

[coolian2]

btw I read back. good for chass for not listening. I'd have done the same thing if I was back home.

Somebody's not gotten over his jetlag properly.

the sad part is that I have. and khan is still asleep. unsurprisingly, I've adopted her sleep pattern.

 

[Galeongirl]

What the hell are you still doing up Ax?

 

[Axver]

So, Ian, in other words, you've just never left Auckland time?

What the hell are you still doing up Ax?

I've actually been to bed!

I'm up early for U2 at the Echo Awards.

 

[gump]

hey guys! just stopping by quickly to say hi.


edit: ax, you're gonna get some kind of sleep disorder by the end of the tour...

 

[Galeongirl]

Well good morning then!


my best friend is acting like a sad twat again. He whines how his date for tonight cancelled and how he's bored. Aka he's whining so I'll offer to come over. I told him I'm tired and I need to practice tonight, and then he goes all annoyed like I drove over his puppy.
Now he blocked me because I told him he's being annoying.

Renato!

Oh man, U2 on tour totally fucks up my sleeping patterns. But I'm rather attached to keeping this website of mine as up-to-date as possible ...!

 

[coolian2]

that's more or less it, ax.

is this German show going to start in, like, 20 minutes?

 

[Galeongirl]

I wonder what channel the show is on. I have 3 german ones..

 

[gump]

it's in a channel called ARD here. i can't figure out whether it's at 8pm or 9pm, though. hope it's at 8pm, i have tickets for a movie at 9.15pm...

 

[Axver]

Apparently it starts at 6:15 my time ... it's almost 5:45.

 

[gump]

Great, so it's at 8.15 here. I hope they open the show like in the Grammys and the Brits.

I have ARD 1, but it shows football right now. I hope that it's the right channel!

What movie are you going to?

 

[gump]

What movie are you going to?

Frost/Nixon. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I hope it's as good as I think it will be!

 

[Galeongirl]

Ah, on Ceefax it says something about the Echo's. That should be good
it's from 8.15 to 10.45

 

[Axver]

Great, so it's at 8.15 here. I hope they open the show like in the Grammys and the Brits.

Yep, they're opening the show apparently. So it's likely just Boots.

I don't think I've heard about that one, what's it about?

I just checked on TV - ARD has football here as well and it now shows that the Echo thing will start afterwards.

Woot! FINALLY the first use of these German tv channels here!

Well, at least I'll get to see it. I guess we'll only get some another song when they play at the Paris show on Monday.

Ax - thought about you today. I listened to Passengers in its entirety in the car. What a great album... And it sounded good just after NLOTH.

 

[gump]

I don't think I've heard about that one, what's it about?

It's about an interview that Nixon gave a few years after resigning. Apparently the interview was one of the most watched TV show ever in the US and it was seen as the public judgement that Nixon never had. The film reconstitutes the interview and what happened behind the scenes. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's good indeed.

Woot! FINALLY the first use of these German tv channels here!

Same here. I actually saw the Grammy performance in a German channel as well, so I can't complain about German TV! Though I assume that by speaking Dutch you can at least understand bits of German (not at all the case for me)?

Yes, I'm looking forward to them doing a couple of songs in Paris. I hope I can watch that ... I've got a stream for the Echo Awards at least.

Ah, awesome! I played the first half of Passengers before bed last night. Easily right up there with the best U2 have done. I adore the soundscapes.

Oh that sounds like an interesting movie. I wonder wen it'll be out here.


Grammy's are on way too late for me, I watched that online.
I can understand it, but not THAT perfectly. I haven't had German in 4 years and I never use it so yea, same with French, it's a bit foggy.

I can understand these lotto results perfecty tho!

I can't believe how Passengers is so underrated by U2 fans. The only song that doesn't do much to me is A Different Kind of Blue, but everything else is gorgeous. Even Elvis Ate America doesn't bother me!

It just came out here this week, so it should be on screens in the Netherlands pretty soon.

on the lotto results - I guess these are pretty much universal.
