One on one? You're crazy.
I was thinking more about possible security - the other 3 would have less, and not as well trained as the Russian Special Forces who probably protect him - mind you, you'd need to get through them first

He's a thick cunt with no redeeming features.

WTF? I never heard about this - what was his reasoning? (If any)

I don't remember this episode of Callan.

It gets mentioned in Anthony Cronin's No Laughing Matter but in no detail. Due in part to Geldof being a highly litigious knobhead like John Waters and Guggi.

The one who looks like he smells.

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
My parents know his (retired) gardener of long standing; sent the fella on an all expenses paid trip to Venice when he retired.
On the other hand, the last time I was in St Mary Magdalene & St Lawrence Church, (for me Uncle Sid's funeral), I wasn't too pleased to hear Bob's booming voice in a very quiet/reflective part of the service coming through the thin(ish) partition to his 'house'...the Priory next door.
Not wanker: wanker

My old Mum used to refer to him as "a scruffy bleeder".Much more polite than wanker.

A tax dodger as well as a smelly eejit, apparently:

What could be Sheeran's beef?
But Sheeran, who also appeared in the song’s 2014 version, went public last week to state that he hadn’t been asked about the inclusion of his vocals in the 2024 remix —and that he wouldn’t've had had have given his permission if he had been.

The Irish musician says he won't scrap a 40th anniversary edition of the Band Aid hit over Sheeran's 'abstract wealthy-world argument.'

He was on the One Show at the same time as Gervais, and when the latter (who has been nominated for a Grammy) made some joke about being scruffy on tv, Geldorf felt the need to retort that he had already won a Grammy or something, yuck. I did not stick around to find out what else was said. Two knobheads being awkwardly asked excruciatingly bad questions on a shit show before we even got to the 'badly address the controversy about fucking band aid' bit, nooooooo.

Has anyone heard the new version of Do They Know It's Christmas? I listened to about a minute of it yesterday and its whack.

No, I cant face it for all sorts of reasons, very much including the lyrics. At some point I may discover which problematic lyrics have still somehow survived in 2024, but I'm far more likely to turn to this classic instead:

I watched the original show on TV as my mum swooned over Freddie Mercury. I'm not sure why it's being criticized now, but it seemed like a good cause at the time. Don't people living in abject poverty want funding to help them out? I doubt they care if it came from some rich people singing.

No. Student activists in the west have gotten offended on their behalf, so all help must cease.
