I wish someone would let Bono take some of the punches. Hard ones, right in his smarmy face!
That was written for his Father, great song, cannot understand how we knock our own, and has put Ireland on the World Map
 

Well said Brian.

Didn't the IDA confirm a number of years ago that Bono was a major factor in Facebook and Google in locating their European headquarters to Ireland.  The Google jobs were going to Latvia only for his intervention so legend has it.

        Couldn't agree more.Can't stand the dogooding, sh*ttalking asshole.Never one to miss out on a good story to latch onto for a bit of self promotion.He has a lot to thank Geldof for: the big break at LiveAid and the roadmap to being a lovely fella.Cynically exploits situations to grab the limelight.I knew he wouldn't be too far away from the Covid crisis, trying to smarm his way back into the hearts and minds after he was found out for deserting the country.

I would say the opposite! Why on earth should where they come from have any bearing on one's opinion?

I was working in Shannon Airport in the early 2000's and bono flew in from a "cancel the debt" conference in New York. He was very tired and emotional, but luckily he was in first class.

The sink in the first class toilet was blocked when they landed because "someone" put jacks roll in it. All the other passengers got off leaving bono, his wife and a woman who I think was a pa. 

While I was clearing out the trap the pa arranged for a limo to collect him and bring him to Dromoland Castle for a bit of a sleep to get over the "jetlag". Ali went on to Dublin on her own. Real rockstar stuff.

Yeah but mine is usually because I went through 3 airports on the way home and living on crisps and warm cider on the way. Ha ha.
