My trip just started! At the airport Eindhoven! Whooopppp whooopppp

Hope you have a safe flight.

Hi everybody !

 

I'm french, 20 years old & I'm coming to Mika show in Dublin on 15th february because his french tour won't begin before April ! So long for me ! I'm staying for two days and I've never come to Dublin . Can't wait to see Mika & visit the city ! Do you know what is the duration of the concert ? I hope it will be sunny but I'm scared about that ! HaHa .

See you soon !

Arthur

I think the concert will be around the 2 hour mark or a little less than that. Not sure if it will be sunny so the best thing is to pack your umbrella and a sweater/coat.

hmm, i remembered that from one of the early discussions in this thread, and looked at the weather forcast yesterday to see whether it's true - they predict about 0-2°C for the next 2 weeks, so, well, i wouldn't dress too lightly. but i'll just look at the weather forecast again a few days before i'm leaving, to see what jacket i should take.

 

is it normally quite windy in dublin, or not so much? i know for example about germany that in hamburg it often feels much colder than in munich because of the wind, although it's about the same temperature.

It can be quite cold in Dublin basically all year around. I think maximum temperature is usually around 10-12C, so it's probably best to bring a jumper or a jacket with you.

It's also good to make sure that you have an umbrella, cos it rains a good bit.

I think 'Fireflies' looks set to remain at #1 in the UK charts this week.

Dublin is an amazing city, lots to see there. Best way to look around the city, is to get one of the bus tours. The Green and Yellow bus tour, is my favourite, each driver has their own way of telling the citys history, and you can get off at any of the stops at any time, and rejoin it whenever you want.

The Guinness Storehouse and Jamesons distillery are quite popular stops:roftl::roftl:

I actually visited Jameson's Distillery yesterday. Didn't try any whiskey but as I smelt it, I was given a certificate along with everyone else in my tour group.

I really must get a move on with my outfit for the gig.

OMG!!!!!!!! 'Fireflies' is #1 in the Irish charts this week after leaping 38 places from last week!

"I was good," he says."Too good.I sounded like a female soprano. It lost me jobs.People wanted the Benjamin Britten-style English choirboy and a I sounded like ... a slut!"

 

from Q-mag

in germany, the 2 days of the dublin gigs are carnival time, and just because i'll be in such a boring country who has never heard of this fun tradition, doesn't mean i'm doing anything different than if i was at home! i'll be dressing up and throwing confetti and streamers!

I'll definitely be dressing up. Have to go shopping for some items, though.

I made a lollipop necklace for both my friend and myself, so we'll definitely be wearing those.

Not sure where I can get a bowler hat and rainbow suspenders but I still have some time left.

Me too, I'm rewatching the show atm so that's why I'm totally into Mulder again

I only started watching it during Season 6 but IMO the earlier seasons are far better. Season 1 is my absolute favourite.

A lot of people probably were too young to experience the whole David Duchovny hype back in the day.. Heck, I probably should have been as well but that didn't bother me And I'm right back in that mindset atm It's not that I find him that handsome/good looking/... but he's just so very attractive He just oozes s.... erm chicken

 

 

My cousin absolutely LOVED him in 'The X Files'.

I was never a Boyzone fan but this is a very good song and a very fitting tribute to Stephen.

I had a look at the 'Fireflies' page on Wikipedia and it says (via hmv.co.uk) that the single is being released physically on February 22nd.

That's strange cos my brother told me yesterday that it was only being made available digitally.

i ADORE fireflies!!! when i get near an HMV i'm gonna buy it! is it already out in the UK?

It's not being released physically as I had originally heard, only as a digital download.

I'm SO happy it's at #2 in the UK (a jump of 48 places from last week). Should have been #1, though...

i heard this lot the other day on telly... nb nb!! lolz!

x

It's been played on the music channels nearly every day for the past few weeks. I actually saw it again less than an hour ago.

I thought the bonus track on LICM was 'Ring Ring' (at least on the UK and Australian editions). OMS is a hidden track after 'Happy Ending'.

'Fireflies' looks set to enter the UK charts at #3 this week. I'm really happy about that but it could be better as that Iyaz song that's currently at #1 is rubbish.

I wish my uni timetable was officially confirmed cos now the provisional one is saying that I'm in on Tuesdays at 9am.

If it does come to that, at least I'm only in for a couple of hours and then I can go home and sleep for the rest of the day...

it's all his trucks!!!!

So adorable!

same here! "Teeth" will never be my favourite... But totally love the album

 

I love Eh Eh too although in the beginning I didn't like it at all I didn't know there was a remix by Pet shop boys! is it on youtube too?

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YbLv5W4-X8

I also have the mp3, so if you would like it let me know.

The only song I'm not too crazy about is 'Teeth'.

When I was copying both albums to my MP3 player, I put the Pet Shop Boys remix of 'Eh Eh' on it instead of the album version, as I love it a lot more.

I'm still waiting for my uni timetable for next semester to be finalised but the provisional one said I finish at 4pm on Mondays, so I might not be able to make it to a pre-meet but I'll keep you updated.

I just hope they don't decide to have a lecture until 6pm.

"Black and orange is the most disgusting combination you could ever come up with. I think it's horrible!" what about biotg then?

I take it he hasn't seen Depeche Mode's current colour combination?

I loooooooooooooove 'Fireflies' and it's being played loads on the music channels here. Wouldn't be surprised if it entered the charts at #1.

It's still snowing and tomorrow is supposed to be even worse. I'd say we have around 4 inches now.

It's a good thing that my mum went shopping for food cos it's probably going to be this way until the end of the week.
