i think it is funny. it is not like he phoned up chris martins grandmother and said he had buggered her grandchild. bbc is a triffle confused atm.

Northernlurker · 28/02/2009 10:42

Hmmm - well I dno't know about the dysfunctional and cretin bit but surely 'wanker' can be usefully applied to almost anybody in the music business?

FairMidden · 28/02/2009 10:46

It's only wrong if it's not true, surely?

weepootle · 28/02/2009 10:48

Surely a better description of himself than Chris Martin?

What is his problem???? Bono is insane. He's 46 if he's a day. Older maybe.

I am still laughing at the journo who asked larry mullen if he sees much of Bono. HE said "no, he makes me cringe".

That from somebody who knows him well!! Telling, I think.

quite weepottle- I did have to think abotu it but on balance I think bono is the bigger wanker...

NotQuiteCockney · 28/02/2009 11:57

Isn't 'cretin' equivalent to 'retard'?!? Not really appropriate language ...

OrmIrian · 28/02/2009 12:01

I think he might have been talking about himself. Surely. But he missed out 'everest-sized ego' and 'messiah complex'.

Meglet · 28/02/2009 12:18

chris martin always comes across as lovely and geeky. Unlike bono who seems to think he is president of the universe. {i do like both bands though)

TheThoughtPolice · 28/02/2009 12:22

U2 are utter wank

bytheLiffey · 28/02/2009 12:30

I like CM. Le geek est chic.

expatinscotland · 28/02/2009 12:33

Bono's always been a bit of a twat, no?

Chris thinks we should all do our bit to save the World. Bono thinks he alone can save the World. I know who I'd rather be stuck in a lift with!!

erm the words pot, kettle and black certainly spring to mind here! Did anyone else think U2 were totally crap at the Brits?

MrsMcCluskey · 28/02/2009 13:03

Id rather spend an hour with Chris MArtin than a second with Bonio!

TheCrackFox · 28/02/2009 14:00

They are both wankers. Wouldn't ant to be stuck in a lift with either of them.

TsarChasm · 28/02/2009 14:05

Lol! They're both highly annoying.

Why are we being U2'd to death atm anyway?

Every time I turn on the tv/radio/pc etc there's Bono and his sunglasses again warbling on about his boots or summat.
