Hey davy, a station in California leaked Beautiful Day last time, so there's no saying who'll leak the first play.

hey reggie, i thought u2.com gave the exclusive when they "messed up" the 30 second clips? maybe im wrong?

 

[Lucy3011]

Would be good if 2fm do play it a bit before anyone else. I'm in Ireland up until the 21st and I always listen to 2fm when I'm there.

 

[Laura M]

I didn't think 2fm were the only ones who did that. Cool FM have had exclusive previews of songs. I thought it said that Dave gets the first play of any of their singles. But every radio station will tell you they are playing a single on their station first. I've heard them say it on Radio 1 but I've aready heard the song afew days before on Citybeat/ Coolfm.

[AussieU2fanman]

oh jesus christ guys get a room!

 

[Laura M]

oh god no. im not her. she only liked u2 because some bloke in our year liked them and she wanted to go out with him. (thats what I heard like) i had liked u2 since i started 2nd year.

there is someone who works in the shop who loves u2 and they always play them really loudly some mornings. i usually end up sitting on the sofas before a lecture if im in too early. whens freshers week. i want to go and get some free stuff

 

[Laura M]

oh jesus christ guys get a room!

you're just lovely, aren't you?

 

[achtung davy]

hehe sorry AussieU2fanman this is just weird! meeting someone who went to the same high school as me in on the internet!

freshers week is great, they give you free beer and mars bars!

 

[Laura M]

it is very weird. aussieu2fanman, there arent many people from where i live here. i don't usually piss people off and ive been here over 3 years

Freshers week.
I don't think you would know who i am, maybe to see you might know me though. I was quite quiet in school and didn't have loads of friends. (should I admit that?) I don't talk to anyone from Rathmore now except one person. What are you studying btw?

 

[AussieU2fanman]

Ok people I'm obviously kidding. People seem ot take me too seriously, this is the third time today people have taken me the wrong way

 

[Laura M]

It's hard to get your tone from here
