  1. 3 weeks and 21 sleeps!

      It will be here before you know it. Have a good time when you go eh. (((hugs))), Lani

  2. I'm hoping to be there now that I'm able to travel down on the Saturday. It's not 100% yet, but fingers crossed
  3. October... needs to hurry up and get here already! Reading about everyone's amazing concert experiences and getting very excited for London!

  4. Happy birthday to our favourite guitarist, the mighty Mr Edge!

  5. Rest in peace Jules Bianchi. Formula 1 has been cruelly robbed of a driver who had so much potential.

      The number 17 has been retired as a mark of respect

      Has the wizard of Oz been distributing books again?

      I have a wonderful friend in New South Wales who had some U2 books she no longer wanted and sent them to me on the other side of the world - completely free of charge! I'm so utterly grateful to have such amazing friends.

      I collected mine in this fashion in Roma on the Vertigo tour. Worked ok , but missed the guest band...

  8. End-of-module exam done and dusted!

      Well done! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for a great result for you :)

      We'll get our results in mid-July. It was also fun meeting students of other subjects at the exam venue and chatting to them about what they are studying.

  9. Happy birthday Bono!

  10. Thanks for the guide Joe. I'm going to share the link with my brother-in-law as he will be coming with me. This will be my 1st U2 concert and, while I have done GA before at stadium concerts by Oasis, I've had specific seats at the 2 arena shows I've been to. I've also never been to the O2 before so I want to try and arrange a pre-concert trip to make sure we know how to get there - and how to get to the hotel we'll be staying in.
  11. My copy of "Sons + Fathers" arrived today. It is beautiful.

      Oh nice! I really want it but to get it the shipping cost as much as the book.

      Yup, it's pretty expensive !!! Enjoy, PadawanBeck !

  12. May the 4th be with you all... but beware the revenge of the fifth (and sixth!)

  13. Feeling slightly sad that the dig is finished, now back to Ancient Greek and exam preparation.

      Will you get to do another one?

      Hopefully yes. I am signed up to hear from Nexus Heritage through the year to know if they are doing any more digs in Shropshire. I may also get to help with digs as part of my new role at Ironbridge.

  14. I wonder how many U2 fans will be put in Twitter jail today? Enjoying having my say for U2Request!

  15. I'm staying up late tonight especially so I can Tweet the first of my requests once it gets to midnight UK time. Less than 5 hours to go! I think it's great that we've got a chance to let the band know what we want to hear.
  16. I believe the vinyls will be sent out in March. I have a record player but it's ancient and I don't trust it with my precious U2! My Mum has one of those ones that can record onto MP3 and absolutely swears by it.
  17. Wishing a Happy New Year to my fellow Zootops! I trust we've all got New Year's Day either playing or ready to play when it hits midnight?

  18. I've just booked my hotel for the 25th! In related news, I am now skint I don't know London all that well and don't want to have to spend my Sunday struggling to make my way across London so went for the nearest place I could find that was both within my budget and had parking spaces available (as specified by my brother-in-law). Also had to use his mobile number on the booking form as I don't have one, but I put a little note on the comment form to explain that in case they do actually phone him. He's coming with me, so it's not like I just picked a random number!
  19. Wishing all of my fellow Zootops a lovely Christmas

  20. Same here, I've logged in and My Events is empty. Way to give us all a heart attack AXS!
  21. I got 2 GA tickets in the pre-sale for the first night in London and am happy with that. At £55 per ticket, I'm happy with the price too, it's about what I expected. The ordering process was easier than I thought it would be which also helped.
  22. Can October hurry up and get here already?!

  23. I'd be interested in coach travel down to the O2, although again it would depend on times as I'm another with GA tickets who would want to get there as early as possible. I'm going to the Sunday 25th show. Nearest city for me is Wolverhampton. I'm pretty sure the regular National Express services do pick-ups at Telford Town Centre, which would be great for Rhi and me, but Wolves would be OK too.
