1. And let's not forget Sydney's massive display - all 12 minutes of it.





























    The last one is the best. I'll have Adelaide and Melbourne up later.
  2. hi everyone

  3. G'day Wayne! What happened to it? Just died on you?
  4. This is utterly amazing.



  5. It really is...and that's one of my favorite opera songs (not that I'm listening to opera all the time, but that song always moves me, for whatever reason!)...nice stuff

    That's not good. The registry is a massive database where all settings and stuff like that are held. That gets corrupted, your Windows doesn't boot up again and has to reinstalled. Which isn't my favourite thing in the world - a lot less than building an entire system from scratch though.

    It was Everton, where he was from.
  9. I'm not impressed by Sydney's fireworks..not at all

    Hi to everyone! First visit to U2Start this year...I think I can celebrate my 1st anniversary here soon.
  10. My first General post in 2008...let's hope for a good year!

    Anyways...I'm gonna share an Irania song (a weird one) with you. The singer, I talked about him before, is Mohsen Namju, a weird new guy here, he's been talked about a lot by the press. The video below is of one of his calmer songs, with a poem by great Iranian poet Hafez, of course in Persian! it's one of the most beautiful love poems I've read and definitely very famous here in Iran! (I've found a nice translation of it...you can read it below the video!)
    The girl in the video is a famous and controversial Iranian actress...enjoy!



    The poem:

    Let not the wind into your tresses or I will go into the wind
    Let not seduction be your way or I will loose mine

    Drink not with any old contender or I will drown in pain
    Savor not your wine or I will turn red in sobriety

    Lock not your hair or I will be locked in remorse
    Twist not your hair or I will get twisted

    Become not the rival's friend or I will become mad with rivalry
    Feel not for others or I will cease to feel

    Open your face and I won't need a flower
    Stand tall and I won't need the air of heights

    Paint not the town red or I will shed blood for tears
    Cherish not the other's company or I will perish

    Steal not the limelight or all light will leave me
    Ogle not or I will melt beneath your gaze

    Be kind to this poor suitor and come to my aid
    For me not to appeal to the Messenger

    Hafez will never turn away from you
    For he became free the day he was entrapped by you.

    Yeah right. If you'd forgotten "this year" in that sentence I would have laughed. Anyway, Happy New Year to you in Holland!

    Hehe...no, honestly, it looks great. In 2000, they broadcasted Sydney's fireworks here, as it was the first continent going into a new millennium(or one of the first). Happy new year to you too!
