    If only Saint Bono would reach in his own pocket, and spare us the self-indulgent racket.

    Good on them but the magic has gone from this. They should just sell tickets. People willing to throw money in the hat probably can’t get near it anymore.
    Full of selfie people blocking the place up.

    What is the cause?

    Not street sleepers surely

    Didn't Hansard have enough being a part of that home sweet home racket? I'd love to know where that 120k has gone.

    Probably on staff wages. It’s perfectly acceptable to pay anybody involved in charity work 37000 a year because that’s a fair wage. Unless they make charity Christmas cards in a Chinese prison which whatever not the charities fault it’s not up to them what people get paid.

    Whip round on Grafton street to get Bono to shut the fück up. Be able to sort out the homeless crises,children's hospital and the national debt with a few quid left in the bank for a long weekend in Prague.

    One of most obvious benefits of not being in town on Christmas Eve anymore.

    Apparently Glen Hansard led a mob to occupy the Shelbourne. They’re now inviting homeless people in to stay the night. They were expecting crowds of 10k, but all the ‘homeless’ have gone back to their families where they spend the majority of the year.

    Bono got drunk and killed a man with a trident, straight through the heart.

    Damien Dempsey went off in a huff, said he’s bleedin sick and tired of this Southside bullshit, and next year he wants it on the Northside.

    Sinead O’Connor turned up and announced that she’s no longer a Muslim because of she who shall not be named, she’s looking for an alternative religion now. Her spaceship leave tomorrow at 5pm if anyone wants to join her.

    Donal Skehan ran a cookery course for everyone, beans on toast. He cried during the demonstration and said that the meal has stretched him professionally, that he’s never has to cook something so complex before.

    Twink was not giving handjobs outside Kehoes, for €10.

    Dopes with video cameras going to events to film them.

    Not to enjoy them.

    To show people they were at them.

    Why should they be at them?

    Because it’s a good place to take a selfie.

    The marketing people told them to be at them.

    They don’t even want to be there.

    The people that want to be there can’t get near it.

    Generation muppet.

    Doesn't sound quite as snappy as "Bono pays no tax in Ireland" though does it?
