Can de rumours be true?

LLS planning meeting ...

"Do we want to get Bono again?"

"Nah, he's out of fashion. The new album bombed. Nobody will be excited about having him on again"

"Hang on - it says here he has Glaucoma! I need that for my Misery Bingo Card. Great, sign him up and print out his Wikipedia Page so we don't need to do any research. And the Glaucoma Wikipedia Page. Another week, another Illness!"

grey_so_what · 23-10-2014 6:41pm

It's not just Kitteh's who can do war!!....:D

And for no other reason than to show this...:)

Bono? Ooh, how did they manage to convince him to do a television interview? He's notoriously reclusive. I wonder what he sounds like.

Wait, wait, wait. That's not right.

Ah sure, fair enough, we've seen him a million times, but he's an actual famous person so we should grab it with both hands. Any idea what the filler around that extreme mutual appreciation-fest is gonna be?

One other thing, Skid, if himself is in for the misery slot, it could get a lot worse than glaucoma!

One other other thing, Grey, that Nevin chap from the other week is cooking up a fine Hake & beans on RTE 1 just now.

FYP Donie!....:D

I'm a sucker for the fish and chips!!....;)

I'd even share them with a "Bono on a sympathy kick"....:pac:

(though dodgy eyes run in the family....:()

Skid X · 23-10-2014 8:04pm

Yeah, it won't be just Glaucoma talk, I've seen a preview of the interview ...

Presenter "How's Adam Clayton?"

Bono "Adam Claytom is Fine"

Presenter "How's the Drummer?"

Bono: "The Drummer is Fine" ...

grey_so_what · 23-10-2014 8:19pm

Excellent Skid!!...

purplecow1977 · 23-10-2014 8:21pm

When is the line up announced?

JP Liz V1 · 23-10-2014 8:27pm

U2 were alright last week on Graham Norton quite tolerable and entertaining even Bono

Hard to know, sometimes they don't list the guests until close to transmission time.

It's never a good sign when that happens, it usually means Eileen from the RTE Canteen is on standby to do her Patsy Cline medley and tell Ryan some of her funny stories about working in RTE.

I'm praying Bono and his dodgy eyes are the misery slot somehow....:o

CountyHurler · 24-10-2014 12:28am

I have it on good authority that we will find out more about U2 this week... After the big reveal of Bono's glaucoma on The Graham Norton Show last week, it's The Edges turn this week.. Apparently that hat he wears it to hide a disease that he suffers from... Alopecia.... Should I use spoiler tags?

...

Skid X · 24-10-2014 12:33am

Adam Clayton had Laser Eye Surgery years ago and it didn't go well - he can't drive at nighttime because he can't see the lights properly ... but he had the good sense to take the night off and let the other two deal with Ryan's bizarre questions.

You forgot the also the "shortarse syndrome" that makes Bono wear high heeled boots CH....It's a terrible thing when you're in the desert apparently...Makes your feet very susceptible to Verruca....or so I heard....;)

Skid X · 24-10-2014 12:52am

I remember having a Dermot Morgan tape back in the day, this was one of the songs on it. Bono has been around for a long long time, most people mentioned in the song have passed

This bit is not entirely unlike what happened last week on GN's show.

Gordon Minard · 24-10-2014 4:16am

U2 should pay their Tax in Ireland like everybody else!

It's a bit disingenuous telling us to send our Money to Africa when he won't even pay Tax here in Ireland!

Gordon Minard · 24-10-2014 4:16am

I love their Music though :-)

purplecow1977 · 24-10-2014 7:18am

Im going to the show tonight so hoping its decent :-(

Well I cant really slag him about that, since I met him down the clinic when we were both asking the doctor for "the pills that those people gave Lionel Messi when he was 12 years old"..

BIG controversy at TV3 with regard to their version of The Toy Show. Now there's a sleigh that I hope gets hit by a meteorite.

TV3+TOY+SHOW-6.jpg

It seems that TV3 have chosen Bryan McFadden, Karen Koster and JEDward to present their show this year. But a certain other presenter has been emotionally damaged at not finding him at the top of TV3's Christmas list.

Alan Hughes 'disappointed and hurt' at TV3's Toy Show snub

Ah yes, it's lucky they dont keep guns in the house, isnt it.... So, TV3 then had a big promo day for the show (see video linked below), when one of the reporter asked "Bryan, did you hear that Alan Hughes was a bit upset that he wasnt asked to do the show". So McFadden, adopting the demure of Bad Santa and seemingly hungover, responded in his usual classy manner...

Video here: Bryan McFadden Interview About TV3 Toy Show

"He's just not as cool as me. It's just a fact, sorry Alan. No kid wants to hear you talking about toys, Alan. I have kids, I know about toys. "

I would love if Alan Hughes released a statement saying "Bryan, I see more of my kids than you see of yours"... :pac:

Free copy of the new U2 album for every one in the audience (as long as you have iTunes)

For Reals · 24-10-2014 12:28pm

There is so much you could ask them. Purely on music, probably biggest band in the world. On taxation and the hypocritical ****e Bono spouts. Adam and now Larry losing millions... But it'll be giddy schoolboy Tubbs, Bono being condescending and 'the aul' eye sight acting the maggot?'
It'll be a wasted opportunity either way.

Jeaysus! I don't suppose anyone's ever needed to ask you whether you're a "glass half full/glass half empty" type of person!!

He probably thinks Jedward are his kids

Tubbs has never failed to disapoint is all.

It is a bit ridiculous though... Bono there giving out to the world leaders about not doing their fair share to help Africa and the poor... And he moves all his money to Holland to avoid paying his fair share in Ireland...

I'm also going tonight and I hate U2 and Kevin Bridges. The prize better be good.

Tubridy doesn't do tough interviews. He's useless.

I have very little time for Bono, but he did come across a lot better on GN last week than he usually comes across. I enjoyed it.

Is Daniel O'Donnell not on? He's due soon.

Ol' Donie · 24-10-2014 3:07pm

Kevin Bridges? Is he that Scottish comedian?

Ah, he's good, isn't he?

I think he is hilarious, when describing Diego Simeone below he likened him
to that of a nite club bouncer in a rough end of Glasgow with that "Nae tonight pal" look about him when you get to the door.
