I was there last night.

Started queuing at 1315 and got into the Elipse area and by the time the concert started, I was 5 deep from the stage. At 1 point, I Bono was so close, he touched the hand of a girl 2 across from me.

Words can't describe how good this concert was. I've been to ZooTV, PopMart and now Vertigo and I can't seperate the 3 from an experience point of view as I've been in prime viewing points at all 3..

All the favourite songs were played and of course as expected Bono took the opportunity to speak his mind about some political issues focussing on making poverty history and ecouraging everyone to look at www.makepovertyhistory.com.au

It's amazing how 1 person can control 60,000+ people with so much ease. He asked people to pull out their phones and light up Telstra Dome like a Xmas tree which everyone did and then he asked them all to SMS their name to 191221 to support the Make Poverty History charity.

The 4 hour wait outside was definately worth the wait and another event I'll never forget.

MPH isn't a charity :O

went sunday night. Not in the "inner sanctum" but over on 'The Edge' side (where else to be)

I've been going to a lot of gigs lately, and ranging from Lior at the spiegletent, Mayer at Palais, to U2 at Telstra Dome. But this was just un-f*cking-believable! The set was outstanding, the light/display wall, was incredible.

Set-list was great, wish i knew the complete words to some of the 2nd encore songs. I'm a fan of U2, but not a massive one, and i went just because it's 'U2' and i doubt i'd get a chance to see a band that's been so influential, again.

Don't know why Coldplay was getting the gong for the world biggest band, i'm sorry coldpay fans, but they don't have anything on U2 at the moment, and not with shows like they put on at the Telstra Dome.

will remember that concert forever.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
