I searched the forums and was surprised not to find this. If I just missed it or didn't search properly, mods please remove this thread. I came across this article. Ali was hurt in a fall while on vacation and broke a few ribs. But she appears to already be on the mend. I wish you a speedy...

Bono's political and charity acts are well known. Anyone who's watched R&H will hear and see this. And, as we all know, since 1998 or so, Bono has worked hard on the issue of extreme poverty. First it was with Jubilee 2000 for the new millennium. Then came DATA. Now it's ONE. And while the...

You may have missed your chance to purchased Bono's and Ede's homes in NYC, but you still have a chance to live in a residence formerly occupied by a U2 member. Adam Clayton is now selling his NYC home. At nearly $8.7M (U.S.), it's a steal.

Prologue: As there's little new U2 to discuss, I thought I'd post this. I did a search of the forums but did not see this topic. If it has, however, been posted previously, I ask that the mods please close this thread. Thank you! :wave: I felt like listening to some U2 today at work -...

Lots of talk about the Uber and Super Deluxe and the Vinyl - time for some on the Deluxe. :up: I know some people bought the Deluxe AB while waiting for their Uber or Super Deluxe AB's. But a question arose. Amazon.com shows the Deluxe to be a 2 CD set...

Getting facts wrong is, well, a fact of life. But I hate when people are so complete in their convictions when indeed the item is erroneous. My coworker is recently married. The son of his new wife likes U2 (and this is a pre-teen, so this is impressive). One of his son's favorite U2 songs...

Maybe I'm too "old school". Maybe my pleasant nature makes people think I don't care. Yet, I try to be respectful of others. So I have to ask, are manners dead? I have a friend staying with me. He was a guest this past week, but about to embark on a 3 week "roommate" stay with me. Despite...

So I'm in my new house in CA. Yay! I rented my residence in CA until I found my house. I lived there for 4.5 years. The Property Managers for this property were pathetic. They took care of emergencies, but any smaller issue - such as painting, fixing sinks, etc., they did nothing about...

I'm hoping the members of PLEBA can help me! Here is the challenge. Back when I was in grad. school in the 90's, there was a poster sale. One poster featured Bono, circa 1987. He was in an overcoat and I believe in the woods near a river. It was a picture just of him. I really liked the...

This is a question - is the tour losing money? I see it selling out every show. I see the concerts grossing more than ever. I see U2 charging higher ticket prices. Yet, per an article on the main Interference page, McGuinness is claiming the tour is losing money. This doesn't make sense to...

I noticed a first - at least for me. U2 are in Yahoo's Top 10 searches. Here is a pic as proof: I first noticed this on Friday, Sept. 25th. As of this moment, on Saturday, Sept. 26th, it remains (this, by the way, is Yahoo in the U.S.). I have never seen U2 in the Top 10 of Yahoo's...

The unusual title of this thread comes from this very real example I experienced Sunday night in Chicago. I was in the Red Zone. A flirtatious, but height-challenged, young lady was next to me. She flirted with all the men hoping to get a piggy back ride (succeeding in getting one for one...

So this morning I see my cell phone indicates that someone from an unusual place called. I was booked solid at work, so finally, close to lunch time (in California), I get a chance to listen to my messages. Turns out this number is from a person in Dublin. In fact, a person named Dave...

So I notice that seeing up close is not as easy. I noticed this last year. Eye doctor sees it too. His advice? Buy some reading glasses at a drugstore. I've have corrective lenses of some sort for distance since I was 9. But now, that vision has improved just a tad, but now, it seems...

While this has been mentioned in other threads, I felt it deserved its own thread. "Magnificent" may not have received love on the radio, but it could still get retail love. If downloads alone aren't enough for you, and you love the idea of a tangible item, then go to Best Buy (or go to their...

I came across this from an online article: This got me wondering. Didn't Bono buy a seat for his hat once? :lol: Also, what has made U2 - Bono in particular - green? What have U2 or Bono done to give that impression? Crusader for Africa? You bet! :up: Green? Hmmm... :hmm: Can anyone...

The goal of this thread is simply to keep a chart run - with sales numbers if possible - for NLOTH around the world. Unless exact sales numbers are known, we can round to the nearest thousand. When this thread is updated for any (or all) countries, we can just copy this information and add...

Carrying a few extra pounds? Wonder why you can't lose weight? It's not you - it's the food. THIS is why you are fat. :drool:

This is an update to my prior thread (Halloween Is-A-Coming). I made it a separate thread because I've gone insane. As Halloween grew in the U.S., so has my collection. This year, it's ridiculous. I'm not even sure if I can put it all up. I have witches and Jason's and haunted houses...

I know it's only early Sept., but I love me some Halloween. I decorate twice a year - Christmas and Halloween. While I still adore the holidays, in terms of fun decorations, Halloween has now outpaced Christmas - at least in my home. And I love Halloween parties. This year, I'm actually...

O.K. everyone, this is going to be tough. I've heard this song just a few scant times and really like it. Trouble is, I can never catch the name or artist! The song is recent (as I've really only heard it in the past year). Yet, it sounds reminiscent of UF era U2. The song has lots of...

So... for the past 2.5 years I've lived in CA. During this time I've: Received more and more trendy haircuts - the latest is the most trendy I've ever been (for a person my age); Bought nicer looking clothes (more button down shirts, more vibrant colors, etc.); Bought a Ford Escape Hybrid...

In other forums, people are having fun guessing song names, the album name, the tour name, possible setlists, etc. So I thought we should have fun in this forum trying to predict first week sales and possible overall sales. As I am in the U.S., I'll start with this country. Coldplay just...

The U2 cover band, Zoo Station, will be appearing along with The Police cover band, Stung, on June 6th at the McNears/Mystic Theater in Petaluma, CA. Petaluma is about 30-40 miles north of San Francisco driving straight up Rte. 101 (no tolls going northbound through Golden Gate). The doors...

This is a silly thread. :happy: I know most here are very serious, so I wanted to give a warning. Some may think this thread is more suited for PLEBA, but given what I'm about to show, I thought this would be the better forum. :sexywink: Back in '04, there was a lot of discussion about...
