thanks for the upload ! :D

mooseheadsfan you can use the U2 thread to upload gigs ;)

Well, today has been a kind of insane day for me in the U2 fan world.

 

 

First off, this morning I found out that Adam is possibly (most likely) engaged to his long time girlfriend.

 

Sunday Independent - Sunday, April 9th

 

IT'S OFFICIAL. Adam Clayton has found what he's looking for. The U2 bassist has just got engaged to long-term girlfriend Susi Smith.

 

The dapper musician and the Canadian beauty announced their engagement to friends at a private party recently. My Deep Throat at the soiree told me that everyone was sworn to secrecy on pain of immediate exile. Well, there you go . . .

 

Adam and Susi looked more in love than usual when I saw them in January at the launch of a new fragrance by the Missoni fashion label in the Italian ambassador's stately residence in Grosvenor Square, London. I now know why.

 

The Oxfordshire-born Clayton has been of course the most colourful member of the world's biggest band for years. I love the entertaining but entirely apocryphal story about how at the time of his arrest for possession of marijuana, the guards found him sitting serenely stoned in the boot of his car up in the mountains. Though rock n' roll fairytale, it does show that Clayton is widely regarded as the epitome of cool. Cooler still, Adam was engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell in 1993.

 

Naturally, Adam is older and wiser and sober-er (he hasn't touched a drink since he missed a U2 show in Australia on November 26, 1993 - a consequence of his break-up with Naomi, some say.) Indeed Susi and Adam are the ultimate zen couple. They were on holiday in Malaysia when the tragic tsunami hit the countries off the coast of the Indian Ocean.

If this is true, congrats all around!!! What wonderful news! :) It's about time Adam settles down and has found someone good enough for him.

Bono cut his fookin' hair!!!! I think he looks REALLY good with it like this, definately makes him look younger.... And as someone with an extreme POP fetish, this is a very welcome change. Very. Very. Very welcome. Hmmm... dare I ask for a Discotheque Part II on the next album....? ha, just joking.

Chernobyl Convoy a "Lifeline from Ireland"

 

By Eoin English

 

VOLUNTEERS were yesterday packing trucks and ambulances with over €3 million worth of humanitarian aid that is bound for Belarus this weekend.

 

The 42-vehicle Chernobyl Children’s Project convoy, which includes 27 fully-equipped ambulances and 15 articulated trucks, will stretch three kilometres when it leaves Midleton, Co Cork, on Sunday.

 

Up to 90 aid workers will deliver aid to orphanages and hospitals across a 1,600km region in Belarus over the next 10 days.

 

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

 

Chernobyl Children’s Project director Adi Roche described the convoy as a lifeline from Ireland.

 

“What they carry is the hope and dreams and real practical love of the people of Ireland to the people of Belarus,” she said.

 

The convoy is being dedicated this year to the memory of a Belarussian child, Veronik Charlai, aged 12, who died a few months ago from cancer.

 

Ms Roche and Ali Hewson, Bono’s wife, will fly out next week to join the convoy. They will present a special ambulance to the Red Cross to be used as a mobile thyroid monitoring unit that hopes to screen up to 500,000 people this year.
