Heh, while I was out there was a power cut.
I wish scarlet were an instrumental track.
I still haven't decided on Race Against Time -> Bullet the Blue Sky.
I wish Scarlet closed the album...
True, the two minutes are annoying. But after that, Vertigo is a big improvement, IMO.
I hate Bono's voice on the Elevation Tour. Vertigo just sounds better, all around.

You know, I didn't mind Is That All and I actually liked the whistling at the end
Yeah. Australia was lucky that its dollar in 2002 was dodgy and U2 didn't bring Elevation's suckiness here.

WTF.
A WIDENING gulf between international and local students has prompted warnings of resentment and a backlash on Australian university campuses, as overseas student numbers continue to grow.
The warnings come amid increasing concern over "fragility" in the sector arising from its dependence on international students. On average, universities derive 15% of their funding from overseas-student fees.
One of Australia's leading higher-education experts warns that despite the atmosphere on campuses generally supporting international students, there is "informal but real segregation" that could fuel tensions.
Claims of a divide have been backed up by student representatives.
Local students tended to work off campus and were not active in student life, while international students spent most of their time on campus, generally in the library, Professor Simon Marginson, of Melbourne University's Centre for Higher Education, told The Age.
"So you've got this odd situation with the local students half disengaged in a way I've never really seen before," he said.
"The international-student industry runs off the back of a reasonably strong local system which presumes a healthy relationship with the local students … all of that has become the marketing pitch.
"That's the flashpoint that worries me more than any other - that it could spring back into resentment."
National Union of Students president Angus McFarland said students were concerned about a lack of interaction.
Eric Pang, president of the National Liaison Committee for International Students in Australia, said international students were not provided with a strong welfare system and were forced to rely on their peers for help and support, yet at the same time they were being accused of failing to integrate.
He said many overseas students had told the committee: "There's not much international students can learn from Australia in terms of culture or … English. After all, the standard of English of Australian students isn't high."
I keep getting the westjet ad. We care my arse, you just pulled out of our airport ya dorks
If I see this guy, I'm going to stab him. Repeatedly. With a fork.
If those fuckers think there's nothing they can learn, then why bloody well come here and ruin things for locals? The standard of English of Aussie students isn't amazingly high, admittedly, but NEITHER ARE YOURS, FUCKWITS. PLEASE GO AND BURN IN HELL.
Well I shant be ever going to University in Australia.
And I have now heard J. Swallow...and I will never be hearing it again.

To be fair, the international students that they're referring to are the ones from Asian countries. I've never seen anyone from America or Europe have the problems they're talking about.
