I hate Bono - Part 2

Did anyone read 'The Adventures of Bono out of U2' in this months Viz?? I almost choked on my reddy-brek. With laughter.
For those unfortunates who didn't catch it, the basic plot is this: Bono has to give a speech on "poverty, debt and the environment and that" at a church next to his "nan's" house but he forgets his hat, so rather than go next door to get it he tries to get the priest to have it sent in increasingly elaborate ways. Including flying it to him on a 747 (the plane turns out to be too big to land in his nan's yard, so the pilot suggests they use a Cessna, a suggestion which infuriates Bono), he then suggests it is pulled by elephants on a golden carriage and the elephants must be ridden by albino pandas but eventually he settles for it having sailed to him by Pavarotti in a gondola on a river of Krug Champagne.

The funniest thing about this is that it is actually based in truth. Bono DID forget his hat one day and he DID demand it be flown by 747, with it's own seat, yes it's own seat, to the gig he was about to play. What. A. Dick.

I seriously will not be surprised if he tries to sue The Viz.

"Give a speech on poverty, debt and the environment and that without me hat?!?!?! I'd look like a roight feckin' eejit!"

Re: I hate Bono - Part 2

How many members of U2 does it take to change a light bulb?



Just Bono, he holds the light bulb and the world revolves around him.




It's an old joke but still worrth trootting out at every opportunity
