I have to admit post Achtung Baby, they have been generally crap, but I would,nt hear a word said against Bono, my brother worked with them between 1991-94 and I got to meet them a few times.For all his save the world stuff hes actually a pleasant and down to earth guy, the real arse was Adam Clayton, but thats another story.

I wouldn't buy into their whole canon, but U2 have produced some great music and anyone who wouldn't have at least a greatest hits in their collection, then is a not just a hater of Bono but of pop music.

Anyway Paul is a good ol' skin in my view, not afraid to piss off sectors of the music press, the EDF forum and his own drummer in order to do what he thinks might do some good.

Meeting with George Bush can't have done his standing in the 'vaguely left-leaning' rock community much good.

I hear tell that Springsteen threatened to write to the Pope to get him dropped from the private audience list and Michael Stipe refused to return his calls. For three days.

And his shades rock.

But I realise I've gone OT, oh yes that eye make up he wore in that Q interview, hated that. Well, didn't much like it.

Yes, come on Hewson cop yourself on eye decoration-wise.

He truly is the Ant-Christ sent to confuse the masses - he also is associated with a private equity company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevation_Partners so add that to the growing list.


Oi rich people - pay your bloody taxes and contribute to the social agenda instead of lecturing us to give some of hard -earned after tax monies to the good causes that you espouse for self-promotion and glorification.


Truly hate him.

Global Warming Global Warming Global Warming!


Right where did we park the private Jet.


Hes alright really I don't hate him I think he is trying to make a difference and the fact he has more money than all of us put together means he can fund his awareness campaign. he can make more noise than us unknown types.


The new album is a bit of a grower, on first hearing I though so what but I'm starting to like it now.

I nicked this off another site which was an analysis moving his tax affairs from Oireland to the Netherlands ...


Paying tax is essential to development


Where does this leave Bono? Seriously out of step I?m afraid. In fact, well outside the development agenda. The tax havens he uses undermine development. They divert income from developing countries. They ensure tax is not paid in them. They facilitate capital flight from those developing counties. As Raymond Baker has shown, tax avoidance driven capital flight costs developing countries ten times their aid receipts.


Bono is endorsing this. His credibility is in tatters.


But he has a choice. He could pay tax. This is an option he can afford. But it?s more important than that: it?s his duty.

This says it all...


?For many years, my people and I have felt ignored,? said Eric Mbeke, 13, of Ethiopia, with what later proved to be his last breaths. ?But now that Bono has taken up our cause, we know that not everyone is ignoring us, just the people who are in a position to do something about it.?



OHHHHHH GOD HELP US..............


PLEASE IGNOR NOBO.........


He's got to be smacked out of his brains to be as disinhibited as he is.... really


HELP.....


*Arrghhhh...woof runs into the woods with a burning tyre around his waist*

In fact he wins as I am now dying of NOBO induced apoplexy - the hate has condensed into a toxic swamp of loathing and despair which is eating away at my soul - lets all buy RED luxury products on credit and save the world.

Sound of wailing and shrieking all over ED nobo F**ING nobo


According to Billboard, U2's upcoming world tour will be called "U2360". It was previously reported the tour's name was to be "Kiss the Future," however Billboard's editors updated the story today with the new tour title.


Playing in a 360 configuration will increase the capacity by about 15%-20%, depending on the stadium. The configuration opens up myriad opportunities for scaling ticket prices. The top ticket price will be slightly higher than last time and the bottom price will be lower, with the floor seats -- the closest to the stage -- the lowest priced. Field level is going to be $55, and there will be 10,000 tickets a show, every show, at $30. The price points are $250, $90-$95, depending on the market; $55 and $30.

      Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.

      Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      By DuncanW · Posted

      CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
