SIr Bob Geldof: wanker or what?

[Pickman's model]

Sir Bob Geldof's been suggested as someone who can bring the country together. It's my contention he can unite the country, as everyone despises him

But what say you?

 

[cupid_stunt]

Yes.

/thread over.

I thought that article was an April Fools joke?!? The lines between satire and reality are becoming increasingly indistinguishable

 

[treelover]

The Guardian article was an April Fool, is there other sources?

So hard to tell in today's guardian what is real and what is fake. Is the round the world gyrocopter journey for real?

Don't care let's squelch Geldof under a mountain of opprobrium

So what if it's a April Fools, it's still a chance for everyone to declare him a wanker.

I visited the hotel in Khartoum where he stayed during Band Aid/Live Aid.

Unsurprisingly it was bombed because of that.

Bit harsh to bomb it, just because of your visit.

Neither Live Aid nor that boat shambles were his greatest crime. No, his greatest crime was agitating successfully to block a memorial to Brian O'Nolan/ Flann O'Brien at the very posh school they both attended.

Proposal for 'healing tsar' to reunite Britain after Brexit

He'd fucking do it. In fact his words would be "I'll fucking do it".

 

[Celyn]

Yes.

I think you have managed to break Betteridge's law.

Did he? Bastard! Did he have any halfway sensible reason?

 

[Riklet]

He is an April fool.

 

[maomao]

I got to the David Van Day bit before deciding it must be the April Fool's story.

 

[DotCommunist]

There are surely bigger wankers out there, but Geldof is still a solid, workaday wanker.

 

[JimW]

Yes, wankers may be ten a penny but he's the full Bob.

That was a peculiar year.

If you only had three bullets...

 

[danny la rouge]

If you only had three bullets...

You'd shoot Bono three times, of course.

 

[maomao]

If you only had three bullets...

Blair, Geldof and Putin then kick Bono to death.

 

[rekil]

If you only had three bullets...

i would take a bullet for Bono simply to avoid the unsavoury spectacle of sanctification. He cannot be allowed to die.

 

[DotCommunist]

Putin used to look happier. What happened eh.

 

[JuanTwoThree]

If you only had three bullets...

Trick shot, get Bono and Bob and settle for one right shoulder and one left shoulder of Putin and Blair respectively.

You'd be gunned down of course.

 

[Pickman's model]

If you only had three bullets...

handcuff them together at the back of a boat

push them in the water

shoot putin, blair and geldof

bono doesn't know how to swim

 

[Pickman's model]

Putin used to look happier. What happened eh.

met bono

 

[marty21]

Blair, Geldof and Putin then kick Bono to death.

Putin first ffs

 

[maomao]

Putin first ffs

I just went alphabetical. They're all cunts.

My Mum used Bob's name to get truckloads of aid out of a warehouse in Swaziland and it got back to him and he phoned up to say good job
