    Reports on twitter that he fell off the stage.

    He got too close to the Edge.


    Sorry.

    U2 FRONTMAN BONO has told delegates at the EPP Congress in Dublin that the Irish people, and not the Troika, bailed-out the country.

    Where did we get the money? We must have gathered all the gold at the end of rainbows and sent it off to cash4gold.

    He should address his tax responsibilities instead.

    It's easy for Bono to say what everyone wants to hear, it's no better than self promotion. He gets to say nice things with no substance and walk away with everyone thinking he's the best thing ever.

    If he actually had to deal with the problems he'd be as hated as any politician because he'd end up pissing off all the people with completely unrealistic expectations about things and processes they know very little about.

    Not that many here will acknowledge it but I thought he made a very good speech.

    It's hard to hear anything he says without hearing "prick prick prick prick prick" in the background.

    To paraphrase Bonos speech:..."who bailed out the Irish People? It was you suckers!, Me?, I fooked off to Holland with my money and left you to it. I'm no sucker!...."

    At least that's how I heard it curtesy of my bul**** converter!
