never been to Tuscany before but one of my oldest pals fell in love with it over ten years ago and keeps going back there ever since, at least twice a year - so there must be something magical about it. Great to hear you love it that much

Interesting point of view. However, i think that ATYCLB and HTDAAB were important in getting the band a new generation of fans. They were the albums that got me into the band, without them who knows if i would have ever discovered their music.

Originally posted by RUMMY:I am the enemy to some of you - I am a high school (math) teacher. Sometimes when I give a Unit 2 Test (or a "U2" test - get it?) in a particular course, I add the following at the end:

“U2” BONUS QUESTIONS: Circle the appropriate answers:

Scoring:
1 correct no bonus
2 correct ½-mark bonus
3 correct 1-mark bonus

1. What is the name of U2’s lead guitarist?
a) Slash
b) The Wedge
c) The Edge

2. During which decade did U2 form?
a) 1970’s
b) 1980’s
c) 1990’s

3. Which of these songs is NOT on the classic album Achtung Baby?
a) “Beautiful Day”
b) “One”
c) “Mysterious Ways”

These questions are common knowledge to (hopefully) all of us. However, there is a 1 in 27 chance that if you guess randomly at these questions you`ll get all three correct. I recently gave this test to 60 of my students. Guess how many got perfect?

Kids today....

Haha nice, im studying to become a highschool maths teacher too

any tips.

I might throw in a question like

" from 2009 to 2011 U2's 360 world tour grossed $700million, If the band played 111 shows in that time, what was the average income of each show? Approximately how much would the tour have grossed if the band played an extra 39 shows, two of which in Adelaide?"

Nice day today. id a tour of our docks here in Belfast taking in all of the sites related to the Titanic. Check out the dry dock. INSANE. The Titanic herself lay here for months before being handed over to the English and subsequently sunk.

Wow Ger that's incredible...Titanic is so fascinating to me. One of Chicago's museums did a big exhibit on the Titanic years and years ago, I'll never forget it.
