    It's not the Oirish bit that bothers me, it's the my wifes bit that worries me. Are you a Mormon by any chance?

    I was going to mention the spelling but then people would have called me condescending.

    Would you sue me if I say you're a ****?

    Also, you should pay more tax <ok>

    I thought they were ****e and the interview afterwards was cringeworthy. What an utter bawbag that **** Bono has become. You could see the rest of his band were actually embarrassed by what he was saying. Seemed to me that on stage they just went through the motions. Bono tried to pass it off as it being too slippy on stage to "work" the crowd...bollocks. Blur the other year when they got back together pissed all over that lazy performance last night.

    Thankfully, Morrissey did the business before them...as he always does :grin:<ok>

    I thought it was a flat performance with nowt to it. Going through the motions running through a set of tracks which they didn't do justice too. They produce some pretty good stuff on occasion but they're mostly **** in my opinion, runied by a singer who is so far up his own stupid arse he can't see what a twat he is. Take your sunglasses off you cock, it is night time.
    The other three are actually superb musicians but Bono is just such a condescending hypocrite it is hard to see past him.

    So, Coldplay tonight. I saw them once at Afan Lido in Port Talbot, just as the second album was coming out, and they were bloody brilliant. Sadly another bad that went way down hill. QOTSA on the other stage will be somewhat better.

    No they're not. They never have been. And I'm a huge U2 fan. They've become pretty good over the years, but 'superb' is pushing it.

    Yeah, he's a twat. Don't let it bother you. It doesn't come into any of the songs.

    Ok, superb is pushing it but they are good. Superb has been a bit of a favourite word for a bit, I use it too often.

    I think they have some good singles as it goes and very, very occasionally a great album but most of their albums are not worth buying. It is impossible to ignore him though, you've got to respect the bands you listen too and I can't with them.

    That's an interesting thought. Does it apply to footballers too? I assume that most of them are ****s.
    I know for a fact that some of them are.

    Doesn't stop me cheering on the team though.

    Although in fairness, they're not asking me to do anything.

    U2 - watched it in the boozer last night and it confirmed my belief that they're an over rated pile of horse ****. Bono is a second rate singer with a hunger for power and thrpowing his weight around. Instead of lecturing countries like the UK who punches way aboove its weight when it comes to aid to developing countires he should go and shout at somepne who might be able to make a real difference.

    Oh and please spare us that rendition of Jerusalem again you sycophantic "oooh everyone loves me because "I'm so in touch with every audience I play for" disingenuous **** bag.

    And Boab can feel free to go and tell Bono's solictors that i think he's a ****.

    Apologies for the spelling - and **** no, I'm not a Mormon. I've got quite enough on me plate with one wife, ta very much. That's one of the reasons I can't understand why so many guys are hung up on having threesomes - just means you've got to talk to TWO of them afterwards...sheeeesh!

    Oh be still my aching sides.

    More ill formed prejudice, or another "hook" just like the one I dangled in front of your slack jaw you utter cretin.

    Pretty much agree with this but i thought "All that you can't leave behind" was a very good album.

    Primal Scream are Rolling Stones Lite.
    Their songs are **** and it's only the fact that they flood the stage with session musicians that make them even remotely listenable. Plus, Bobby Gillespie is the King of ****s and sits on a massive throne shaped like a vulva.

    No Line on the Horizon was actually a fantastic album, but U2 have been mostly filler since Achtung Baby.
