ok, so we all know about U2, but (although I'll probably get flamed for saying so) there is better music coming out of Ireland (or not coming out as the case may be) these days than U2 have been producing lately Its a real boom period for Irish talent these days: Gemma Hayes The Frames Damien...

did anyone from UK/Ireland see Coldplay on Jools tonight? I have to say they werent they're usual sparkly, blow me away self, though I didnt really think it was the fault of the band, the guys seemed to be playing their hearts out as always. But the sound was pretty dreadful I thought, didnt...

Its really so hard to know who to believe in this whole affair. I think the position most people are taking seems to be somewhere in between the views of the union and the government. Really it is going to have to end somehow, and compromise is obviously the way to go. Firefighters are NOT...

Microsoft's latest anti-competitive plans revealed... (From Channel 4 News) 'Sea change' in Computing? Technology Published: 7 November 2002 Reporter: Julian Rush Senior Microsoft executives are in Britain on a mission to defuse growing criticism of the corporation's plans for what it...

it was absolutely feckin fantastic. nuff said :) Idlewild were supporting and they were pretty good too, though I didnt know much of their stuff beforehand. A very good night was had.

so it seems that finally the unionists have had their way and power-sharing in Northern Ireland is going to collapse. The catalyst for this is some documents seized from Sinn Fein offices by police which "could be used for terrorist pruposes". This was followed up by an arrest by a senior...

The extremely talented lead singer of the formerly defunct (now touring again as I understand) Gin Blossoms. He's also involved in two other bands/projects Gas Giants and The Poppin' Wheelies. I really like his music, very catchy and upbeat. Good summer listening. ...and yes. I have obscure...

Her debut album Night On My Side, for me, one of the first really great albums of 2002. I especially like Back of my Hand, and Let a Good Thing Go. Anyone else got it?

France, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark (to name but a few) all out, of the teams left, who do you think wants it most and deserves to win in the true spirit of the game. Not necessarily the same thing. Its not just about wanting to win, its about being able to...

Have to say the tv advertisements during the World Cup have been particularly poor this year. The worst has to be Adidas' awful "Football-itis" campaign, which is frankly irritating and stupid, thing is Beckham isnt acting in that ad, he is THAT stupid. Adidas always seem to be behind Nike in...

Another disappointing performance from France, managing the World Cup's first 0-0 draw with Uruguay. The French were unlucky to have Henry sent off in the first half, but apart from an early period, failed to shine. Petit also hit the post with a free-kick. France have to win at least 2-0...

..who would you prefer to see lift the trophy? Although its possible that any of the 32 could win it, lets face it, for most of them, its just not very likely is it? So who is your next favourite team? Well, when Ireland go out in a 7 goal thriller in the semi final (not 7-0 though ;) ) :D I'd...

...someone replaced the image your avatar is linked to. What would you hate most to see under your name? Have to say an England flag/Union Jack/Stars and Stripes or a Man. Utd. logo would be pretty high on my list :scream:

Roy Keane has been sent home from the world cup, in short for being an arrogant spoilt git. Any thoughts? Personally I think there's no way you can keep a player in the squad if he's gonna be acting up, cant do team morale any good. Better off without him... But we will miss him, he was our top...

I have exams for uni this week and next, first is on Thursday, then Saturday (thats the one in Sadism) I just cant get my head into the books and keep it there! Always something better to do (like post this - though thats debatable) but anyway. I'm gonna take procrastination (110PCT207) next...

quality thread I dont say much at the best of times but when I do, mostly in other people's phrases (not very original I'm afraid) esp. Father Ted so ehm hmmm, yes thats it! lots of ums and ers and ehms, (no I'm not Hugh Grant) hmmm, well usually something sarcastic really ah yes, and...
