Title: U2's Bono Post by: hobodan on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 22:36:39 What a cunt of a man. Any opportunity to get his mug in the news. >:(
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Ells on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 22:40:16 What's he done?
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 22:49:09 Judging by the outrage above, murder most foul. Obviously big news somewhere that I cant see.
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: pauld on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 22:52:40 What's he done? Presumably, got his mug in the news. The swine.Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 23:01:10 He gave up the stage while on tour in Paris to eagles of death metal. What a cunt
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 23:17:39 I think he said gays were paedophiles and women should be in the kitchen on their backs or something.
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Talk Talk on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, 23:28:49 I think he said gays were paedophiles and women should be in the kitchen on their backs or something. Bono wants women to be on the backs of gay paedophiles in the kitchen? Jeez. That is going too far. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: deltaincline on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 00:17:35 Bonio is indeed a grade 'A' cunt.
Just saw the short-arsed little prick on SKY news, parading around in his stack-heel boots, melted face and permanently fixed sunglasses, with that thick, bobble hatted twat 'The Edge' mincing behind him. (I've often wondered if the cunt actually books into Hotels as Mr Edge, and if so, do the hotel receptionist ever feel like dragging him across the desk, ripping his bobble hat off and doing him some serious fucking facial damage.... ) I wouldn't hesitate. Title: Re: Re: U2's Bono Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 08:51:26 What a cunt of a man. Any opportunity to get his mug in the news. >:( That's a little unfair... He gave up the stage for EODM I am sure the fact that he got publicly all over world media outlets was entirely coincidental ;)Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Ells on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 17:02:44 Wait, people. He's talking about waste management, that affects the whole damn planet!

Actually I would like to see a fight between Tyson Fury and Bono.... possibly also get Donald Trump involved. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 23:13:50 Never really got the bono hatred. I don't particularly like him but I've not seen anything from the bloke to ignite the bitterness some have for him.
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 23:44:17 Wait, people. He's talking about waste management, that affects the whole damn planet! "Cancel the Debt" while at the same time registering the band in a tax-efficient country Absolute Bell-end (he did stand up and criticise the IRA though, which being Irish was a risk, so I do respect him for that, but he has clearly got carried away with his own dear self) Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, 23:45:22 Actually I would like to see a fight between Tyson Fury and Bono.... possibly also get Donald Trump involved. I would love that - only to see Bono get twatted - and Mr Trump as well Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Ells on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 00:22:40 well..
- egregious campaigns to support the poor while he's a known tax evader - the fact he seems to want to get involved in everything that's nothing to do with him - the fact he's in U2, who are shit, and keeps trying to style himself as a "rockstar" despite the fact he's in a group with a guy who calls himself the edge I have a hard time believing people don't think he's a cockwomble Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: janaage on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 06:43:35 U2 were great, okay they're getting a little passed their sell by date now but there's no doubting their talent.
Bono' political stance again were very admirable but now a little repetitive and stale. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: suttonred on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 11:17:16 U2 were great, okay they're getting a little passed their sell by date now but there's no doubting their talent. Bono' political stance again were very admirable but now a little repetitive and stale. How do you change your politics though if that's what you believe :) I'd also add to the tax dodging comment, being an Irish citizen do you mean he dodges taxes here ells? Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 11:39:29 U2 were great, okay they're getting a little passed their sell by date now but there's no doubting their talent. Bono' political stance again were very admirable but now a little repetitive and stale. Not sure what his 'political stance' is though he appears to be a typical bien pensant, tailor made for the modern social media generation.

I take it by bien pensant, you mean neocon, namely pro small state, pro mass immigratation, pro limited taxation and the projection of military power, to drive the engine of hegemony of the ruling elite? Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: guy66 on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 13:09:00 Used to work with a girl who was a stewardess for Virgin Atlantic Business Class who had Bono and his family on a flight about fifteen years ago. Sadly he was really nice, had time for anyone who talk to anyone, signed countless autographs and was polite to all the staff. He also started serving drinks to passengers on the flight and was charming..
Robbie Williams on the other hand was an utter cunt.. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 13:22:41 I take it by bien pensant, you mean neocon, namely pro small state, pro mass imigrtation, pro limited taxation and the projection of military power, to drive the engine of hegemony of ther ruling elite? I mean in this context as someone who accepts and/or espouses a fashionable idea after it has been established and maintains it without a great amount of critical thought. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: 4D on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 13:25:14 Have I just walked into a narration of Geoffrey Chaucer.

So what I said then... Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: suttonred on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 14:08:52 Have I just walked into a narration of Geoffrey Chaucer. Either that or there are some bigheads who are showing what google/Wikipedia can do. My money's on the latter. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Skinny Pete on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 14:16:28 This place gets fucking worse.
Wordy bollocks in extremis Title: Re: Re: U2's Bono Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, December 10, 2015, 20:16:04 Either that or there are some bigheads who are showing what google/Wikipedia can do. My money's on the latter. In my case it came from an article in The Independent ages ago about Europe but stuck in my mind as it seemed particularly apt at the time as all the refugee bollocks was kicking off at the time on Facebook.Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Ells on Friday, December 11, 2015, 00:42:08 I've actually read a book on the man and his propensity towards egregiousness but you can find some interesting things online yes (e.g. http://www.finfacts.ie/irishfinancenews/article_1026589.shtml) though I find facts more interesting, like the fact that in 2006 u2 transferred the company that handles its publishing royalties to the Netherlands to reduce the tax bill. While the man himself (still wearing his mum's cataract glasses) declares how great and beneficial Ireland's tax policies are.
And I still think their music is terrible. Their free ..just my opinion though of course! Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: suttonred on Friday, December 11, 2015, 10:01:29 Everything after Achtung Baby was crap I grant you.
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: horlock07 on Friday, December 11, 2015, 10:04:14 Everything after Achtung Baby was crap I grant you. Everything after The Joshua Tree has been poor! Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Red Frog on Friday, December 11, 2015, 11:41:07 Actually, everything after Boy was disappointing, and after October drivel.
Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, December 11, 2015, 12:05:51 Actually, everything after Boy was disappointing, and after October drivel. I'm with the frog on this one. Although Unforgettable Fire had some moments. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: Red Frog on Friday, December 11, 2015, 12:25:15 I'm with the frog on this one. Although Unforgettable Fire had some moments. Bits. But Boy was an incredibly accomplished first album. Like DMR, they peaked much, much too early. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: donkey on Friday, December 11, 2015, 16:15:21 Everything after The Joshua Tree has been poor! Personally, I'd rather just listen to Gram Parsons. Title: Re: U2's Bono Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Friday, December 11, 2015, 17:15:32 I've just seen that there's a band called 'Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck'
I bet they're good. |
