To Make Bono History. Apparently Bonio was chased by a crowd yelling that at him. What a shame they didn't catch the sanctimonious arse and give him a kicking.

Well no.

KittensoftPuppydog · 24/09/2013 19:20

I liked the beavis and butthead episode where they kept calling him 'boner'.

AnaisHendricks · 24/09/2013 19:32

Making Bono History has long been one of my favourite sayings. YANBU.

HildaOgden · 24/09/2013 19:36

I can't help thinking they would make better use of their energy by getting off their own arses and trying to actually do something constructive to make a difference.

Gobshites,with little to do.

Beavis and Butthead.....snort snort!!

Can you summarise what Bono has done to incite such hatred. He dropped off my radar after Live Aid and I haven't kept up. I always hated U2.

itried · 24/09/2013 19:42

Bonio? Feed him to the dogs!

Chippednailvarnish · 24/09/2013 19:47

I'm glad they didn't catch him, but I hope that his little jog gave him sometime to think about U2's rather abstract tax scheme...

NicholasTeakozy · 24/09/2013 19:52

He's a sanctimonious tosspiece pretending to care about the poor. If he actually did he'd put his money into action instead of hiding it in tax havens.

He does come across as a sanctimonious doggie treat.

Sparklingbrook · 24/09/2013 19:55

Perfect explanation. Thanks Nicholas. I am all up to date now. Grin

mrspremise · 24/09/2013 20:06

I still call him Bone-o (largely to piss off twats), may have to start using boner, I'd forgotten about that episode of B&B Grin

Him and Sir Bob are C*NTS!!

Give us your fucking money.

Yes, you go first you C*NT!

Yanbu.

There's a reason the joke about Bono exists - what's the difference between Bono and God? God doesn't walk around Dublin thinking he's Bono.

Accurate.

Great comments.
I have never warmed to him, although there was a documentary on recently about the making of the Joshua tree which was very good.
He comes across as an utter knob though.

LaGuardia · 24/09/2013 21:31

He is rich, famous and he isn't talking about you. Who is cooler?

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/09/2013 21:43

I am. Next question?

Ha beat me to it Alis. Guess you are cooler than me!

BlingBang · 24/09/2013 21:53

Is there any truth to the story where Bono was on stage at a gig clicking his fingers every second and lecturing the audience with "every time I click my fingers a child in the third world dies" and some bloke from the audience shouts " well stop clicking your fucking fingers then you cunt".

So hope that story is true...

BoulevardOfBrokenSleep · 24/09/2013 21:58

Ah, no, wait Nicholas, he explained the tax haven thing at the weekend.
It was that avoiding Irish taxes was the right thing to do, because Ireland's economy was made great by its competitive tax rates, and so the money was helping Ireland even though it was in the Netherlands. IIRC. Hmm
