I do sincerely apologise, I'm just bitter about these things. I've never known a married couple to be happy together, so it's hard to say. (either divorced or hating each other's guts, but staying together "for the children".) I do wish you nothing but the best, and I do mean that.

Its okay Liam. Truely, as I said I sort of understand where the rest of you guys are coming from.

 

[Reggo]

Yeah, Daniel, don't let the rest of us cranky bastards get you down. I spend a good portion of the morning looking at wedding dresses I'll never afford, or likely wear.

 

[Alisaura]

Still not stickied? And Bulls still is... Confoozing.

Sorry for my little moment last night. Will stifle better in future.

 

[Alisaura]

Well I kinda feel bad, because I was committed to muse. Do you think you would be able to offload them easily to someone else?

Even more worse is; I have paid for them yet

Haven't, presumably...? </nitpick>

The GA for the second night will be much easier to offload, if you're absolutely sure you don't want to go... the shit seat might be harder but I'll ask around and see what I can do.

 

[Reggo]

Have you seen the band this year? They look like a lumberjack, a painter, a plumber, and a bricklayer.

Anyway, I'm going to go die somewhere for the night ...

And I hate not having home/proper internet now of all times... Ticket buying may have to happen at work.

Oh shit, of course, and Charlotte and I will be in Sydney that day (or at least at 9am we will be!).

We're going to do Melbourne, and unfortunately New Zealand looks like it's a no-go. May consider Perth as it looks like getting two shows ...

 

[Axver]

So much of jealous right now. Aviv Geffen is going to open for U2 in Athens in a couple of weeks.

Yes, as in Aviv Geffen, Israeli superstar in his own country but better known in the English-speaking world as one half of Blackfield. The other half being Steven Wilson. If he performs any Blackfield songs ... well, why can't he have been opening in Melbourne!

Well, at least I got to legitimately mention Porcupine Tree on U2gigs, something I never thought would happen.

Sorry blame the iPhone's predictive text. Of you can't I'll give you some monies or something, I still feel lousy.

 

[Reggo]

Settling in with a physics lecture from Professor Brian Cox. Tonight's lesson: friction.

 

[bono_man2002]

Eh. I gotta do blooy fluid systems tonight

 

[Reggo]

That was a joke. Not a very good one I guess.

 

[bono_man2002]

Sorry. You could probably tell me gullible is written on the roof too.

 

[Reggo]

we all have our blonde moments.

Argh! Stoopid Sydney.

Wow. That is quite awesome.

Don't feel lousy, seriously! Someone else may be quite happy to get the ticket(s). And I have heaps of time to find a buyer, so no stress, Mister!

At least this isn't like the time I went mad and bought like 10 tickets to the midnight opening screening of U23D, and could only get rid of five or something.

That was a joke. Not a very good one I guess.

No, it was a very good joke... but it went straight over my head. I R 2 dum 4 fizziks jokes.

Belated lolz!

*gone*

 

[bono_man2002]

Ten U2:3D tickets probably ammount to about 1 muse ticket!

 

[Reggo]

I'll refrain from the physics jokes.

I really can't decide between astrophysics, specifically studying the nature of time at the quantum level, and planetary sciences, specializing in the planets of our outer solar system, the gas giants and their cousins the exoplanets, the hot Jupiters outside our own solar system. I know pursuing a double doctorate is mad and likely one of the more expensive routes of suicide, but I want to know everything I can about both. And I have so many questions about how everything works and why.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm doing physics next year, I sure hope it won't be a bore.

 

[Alisaura]

Or two... those suckers were like $20 each.

 

[Alisaura]

Am now thinking about Melb/Bris/Perth... I must be mad too.

 

[bono_man2002]

I think Danny is thinking Melb/Syd/Bris. I was thinking the same. Would prefer to travel with a couple of others, thus keeping costs down a little bit. I might have free accom in Sydney yet, but not sure.

Fuck u2.com is confusing. Msg from one of the mods.

If you used both your codes, you do NOT get a new one, if you used only one code, it depends on when you joined, if you joined us for the 2010-2011 susbcriber year, you only got one code, and renewing does not get you a new code.

 

[bono_man2002]

This is what my account info page shows:

 

[liamcool]

I'm pursuing a double doctorate, hopefully, so your point is moot, Reggo.

 

[liamcool]

(well actually it'll probably kill me, so...)

OK, so I'm just checking the electoral nomination process, and to stand for the Senate, you must provide a deposit of $1,000. You only get it back if you are elected, or if you get at least 4% of the first preference vote (to put this in context, last time I checked, nobody outside the three major parties got over 4% in VIC - yes, I think it's fair to say the Greens are now a third major party).

The reason I checked this is because of Glenn Shea, who stood as an ungrouped candidate in VIC and made absolutely NO information available. On the AEC website, his official candidate info gave his employment as "Koori youth worker", but no contact details (unlike every other candidate), and Googling produced almost no information, except a couple of news articles about a play he wrote (or somebody with the same name, who knows!), and a board game he created (or again, somebody with the same name). Nobody could find anything definitive on him. He appeared to release no information whatsoever.

Why on earth would you go and blow $1,000 and not even try to encourage somebody to vote for you? Last time I checked the AEC, he received the staggering total of 165 first preference votes statewide.

I managed to miss this 7PM Project interview ... ah well, not too sad about forgetting to watch Channel 10.
