Anyone from the Isle of Man or Liverpool?

MooMoo! · 02-05-2009, 06:37 PM

I like to do a semi-bi-yearly check.

IM SO GOD-DAMN ALONE.

Are you checking to see if ANYONE is actually on the Isle of Man or if any U2 fans are on th Isle of Man?

Either way I think the odds are slim!

MooMoo! · 02-06-2009, 12:39 PM

Oh there are 80,000 people on the Isle of Man. I was just wondering if one liked U2 bar me.

AdamThomasU2 · 02-06-2009, 04:09 PM

Doing a quick bit of maths for you, saying roughly 60 million Brits are in the UK, 1,200,000 bought HTDAAB, thats 1/50. So with 80,000 on the Isle of Man, there should be about 1,600 U2 fans around!

Hope you find some!

MooMoo! · 02-06-2009, 05:02 PM

Well there must be some, cos someone bought the last Popmart VHS ages ago in HMV, and who else in their right mind would do that?

LJT · 02-06-2009, 05:28 PM

I know two people from the Isle of Man, similar age to you...got to be good odds on you actually knowing them

MooMoo! · 02-06-2009, 05:38 PM

Really? Are they U2 fans or just "normal" people?

Do they go to college?

(theres only 1)

LJT · 02-06-2009, 06:01 PM

They be just normal people...they're both at Manchester uni though with me, and one has an Irish girlfriend from Dublin...if that rings any bells?

MooMoo! · 02-06-2009, 06:04 PM

Cant say it does...but they may have gone to my old school then. If they wernt in my year though, I doubt I know them. :S

LJT · 02-06-2009, 06:05 PM

Ahh well the Isle of Man is cool anyways

MooMoo! · 02-06-2009, 06:07 PM

In temperature, yes.

Seriously, Im freezing my arse off.

LJT · 02-06-2009, 06:12 PM

Then stop stickin your arse out the window

Forgive me for being nosey but I noticed your prized U2 possession was a free CD with the Sunday Times? This wouldn't happen to be the one with Ground Beneath Her Feet on it? As that was the CD that got me and my brothers into U2 in the first place

MooMoo! · 02-06-2009, 08:29 PM

Yes it is.

Same sort of situation for me. I remember playing the Beautiful Day vid on some crappy old computer my brother had found.

That and Elevation on my Now 49 cassette. I dont know why, but I just decided to buy ATYCLB, which was weird cos I didnt buy albums, I only ever got compilations like the Now tapes. I was actually really embarassed buying it.

I still listen to the live I Will Follow off there a lot.

LJT · 02-06-2009, 09:02 PM

I Remember You oooooo....it was good stuff...our neighbours complained about me and my brother playing Ground Beneath Her Feet too loudly, good times
