Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses ?

Out of interest, anyone know what the main U2 forum site is / are? I'm curious to see what the latest U2/Glasto discussion is.

U2.com

Click on forum or community (tis that long since I posted regularly in there... tis a bit pants!)... It'll take you to a message board called 'Zootopia' If you want to get into the paid section it'll cost you around 30 quid for the honour

Honestly, some of us *are* reasonably normal!!

[Digi]

Yay !

Someone else from Wakefield !

I think that make's 3 of us on e festivals !

[ivan]

Yay!!

Strictly speaking, i'm from Liverpool but i've lived in Ossett for the past 17 years or so! I actually love it over here... work is here and i've pretty much been here the vast majority of my adult life so its 'home' now... My accent is pretty screwed though!

[Digi]

Hey !

I was brought up in Ossett ! , two of my friends who live there are coming to Glasto for the

first time this year.

A Scouser ! When I have time I will tell you why we call our 12 man chilling/smoking tent

"Scouser Tent 2 ! "

[ivan]

Ooooooooh! I'm intrigued! How does one get an invite into the 'smoking tent'? Being scouse and all that I should be an honoured guest... IF I GET A FARKIN' TICKET!!!

If I do get a ticket then that'll be 4 of us from Ossett going!! I'm impressed that 4 people from good old Ossett know about Glastonbury! The highlight of our year is usually the Easter Monday coal race in the village!!

[Digi]

We had two scousers christen our tent last year. I met em at Maximo Park , they were a right

scream. We christened with apple jacks or is it apple sours ?

So you are actually from Gawthorpe ?

Re - Tickets

Where were you in October when they came on sale ?

Bonosbaby... You are dead lucky you weren't in line with us... I was tearing my hair out by the time the gates opened! On one side we had a certain group of American ladies complete with make-up bags putting their slap on whilst asking me please not to overtake them as they were certainly getting front row and they couldn't run in their heels... I shit you not! Behind me I had someone quoting that 'Bono would not be pleased' every 10 minutes in regard to being cramped in line and how it was such an infringment on our human rights!

[ivan]

I think they should have a festival with U2 and Springsteen so the fans can try to out-stalker each other.

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

Nah !

I would go with

U2

Radiohead

British Sea Power

Fans

I love BSP - But have you met their fans ?

I can't say I have. Are they the sort where nobody just likes them?

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

But not as bad as Radiohead fans!

I can SO understand why people think U2 fans are a bit stalkerish and freaky!! LOL

[ivan]

Hey Digi.. is it stalkerish to travel to other fans town's just for a U2 tribute act?? lmao.. Gotta say, the Ossett hospitality is great x

Are you and the Lanky one coming over to my club in october, mate? Just for a piss up and I'll put a band on, too x

Oh.. and I reckon they should play OUT OF CONTROL!!! lol

[Runner]

Nah !

They are just a bit obsessive !

But not as bad as Radiohead fans !

[Digi]

Reminds of when I saw Us2 , I think it was

The singer looked very much like Bono complete with shades etc , and for the first few songs

introduced them and talked in a Bono type accent.

After 4 songs he then introduced the band , saying "we are from Bradford ! " and for the rest of the

show he stuck with his native Yorkshire accent !

Cover bands are hysterical!! A bunch of us obsessive stalkerish U2 types met up a few weeks ago in the hip and happening (Shit... did I really just type that?!?!) Ossett as some coverband was playing in the Maypole pub where Mr Digi works - Us4U2 (and I think they are local) very VERY funny and they got much better the more booze that was consumed - in fact, they played the best version of With or Without You that I have heard in nearly 20 years!

Bonosbaby - October sounds good!! The Ossett hospitality was fab - shame you missed out on bacon sarnies at our house at daft o'clock! Feck knows how I didn't burn the house down

Oh... and I really quite like BSP - I'll apply for the restraining order now!
