In Sweden every political party has a youth organization, like in Norway. They are actually quite independent in their relations to the "mother-party", and it's more common that the youth organizations try to lead the mother-party in a particular direction than the opposite. I think it's a good...

I'm going too. Conserts at the Ullevi stadium are usually really good, bands seem to like it. Last time U2 played there was a really good show.

The news this morning is that there is no problem, the equipment will make it to Gothenburg in time. Livenation says it's an exaggeration by the media, and that the concerts will happen as planned.

I don't understand why the police or some other authority didn't do anything. Is it legal in Ireland to block a road? It certainly isn't where I live. To protest here you have to have a permit from the police, it has to be in a place where it won't cause too much trouble for traffic and so on...

There is no stadium called "Olympic stadium" in Stockholm, so no, I don't think those dates are accurate.

I finally saw Brokeback mountain with my husband today. We were both very, very moved by it and thought it was beautiful. It held some special significance for us, since my husbands brother is gay and had a personal hell growing up in a small town. Unfortunately we had the same experience with...

There is a video over at U2torrents. I downloaded it yesterday but haven't watched it yet, so I can't say if the quality is good. There are plenty of people seeding it right now.

This happened when I was in highschool too, not in the way that people watched, but more like DaveC says, couples would sneak in to the bathroom. Actually, me and my husband have some fond memories of highschool as well.:shh:

Well, as I wrote in my post, swedish TV4 is doing this show in cooperation with the Red Cross, which I would say is a well established secular charity group, so I still intend to give money.

In Sweden TV4 will have a show in cooperation with the red cross to raise money for the victims in Pakistan today, Monday at 9PM. There is a link on their main page www tv4.se to a site where they explain how you can donate money. They say 40 swedish crowners (about 5 US dollars) is the worth of...

I also thought Countryhouse was better than Roll with it. I remember Noel Gallagher being really grumpy and saying that if Roll with it had been a Beatles song it would have been a classic. Duh! Of course it would have. Every Beatles song is a classic because it's Beatles. Oasis however, were...

Sadly he left a long time ago. My friend actually freaked one time when she had to go to the ER and the doctor was a George Clooney look-alike... I wish something like that could happen to me...:wink:

The old ER was the best. Oh, the days of :drool: ing over George Clooney...:wink:

I love him. I recently dug up American History X and rewatched it. He is just amazing in that film. He's also really good in Fight Club. Other than those two, I've only seen him in Red Dragon, The People vs Larry Flynt and Keeping the faith... I wish I could erase the last one from my memory.

Surfing interference, listening to One Tree Hill, when I should be packing and cleaning, we're moving on wednesday.

My coffee also tastes really good. I don't have a hangover. I did yesterday though. My hubbie looked really good this morning.:wink: I have paid all the bills and there's still some money left, so I guess we get to eat this month too... Both of my cats are sleeping, instead of chasing each...

I have been so occupied with the nostalgia of the 80's lately, after buying the Live Aid DVD and thinking about my childhood a lot. I was born in 1980, so the 90's to me are essentially my teens, and I'm feeling somewhat nostalgic about that period as well. It was the years when I got into...

I think what you are saying makes sense, i've heard something similar. And it's scary to think about. The Gulf Stream actually affects the scandinavian countries quite a lot, just compare the climate here with that of similar latitudes. My town is on the same latitude (as a rough search in my...

In the north of Sweden it's normal to have winters with temperatures between -20 and -30 degrees C. Occasionally it dips down below -30C in january. In the southern half of Sweden the climate actually is much warmer than that. The south of Sweden feel lucky if they get any snow at all. I live...

I have lived my whole life in the north of Sweden where the climate is quite "snowy" (maybe it's worse in the US, I don't know, but we would typically have about three feet (one metre) of snow in the winter, and if it was windy it was a hell to drive on narrow roads with snow all over the...

I saw Soundtrack of our lives open for U2, and they were really good, I have liked them on a casual listener level for about ten years. I didn't really like Razorlight though. Would have loved to see Keane, I have their album and absolutely love it. They were among the best of the new acts at...

I would just like to add that in Gothenburg he said "the life of our band is just beginning". I would say that doesn't just refer to the show. So that's great news for everyone, if we can trust Bono... :wink:

The Globe in Stockholm can actually take 16000 (just checked), and then there's also Scandinavium in Gothenburg, with a capacity of 14000. U2 have played both venues before.

When they played it in Gothenburg everyone in the audience fell silent, and not in the "what the f... is this"-way, but in an awestruck way. People just stood still, eyes fixed on Bono, and just... listening. It was incredible. No talking, no singing, like in all the other songs. I think he had...

Metallica also did this for their last tour, every gig cost 10 USdollars. Wasn't via iTunes though, it was through their official site and you had to be a member (which was free, though). I think it is a great concept. It doesn't cost them as much as making cd's, because they do not have to pay...
