Bono

Pantsface

As an Irish man, do you respect him?

Have just seen him on the late late, going to a serious length to try and hide his middle spread big belly. Not to mention those silly glasses.

He bangs on about too much **** for me to like him much

What you think

MsQuinn

Can Irish women reply?

admiralofthefleet

the shortarsed tosser doesnt pay tax so NO

Kristopherus

Seeeing that you are from Clare, I suppose you'd prefere Davy Fitz:D:D:D

JerryHandbag

I prefer The Edge

woodoo

He didn't get to where he is by being a wallflower or a shrinking violet.

I respect the man musically. I am quite angry with him and the other rich Irish people who try their best to not to pay tax here.

Na. These people like Bono profess to do good by those less fortunate. Habe him go and sell his Facebook shares and feed half the starving people in the world.

Then we'll see the true value of his worth.

SafeSurfer

I think we should be proud of him to be honest.

Shryke

He lectures world leaders about starving Africans and the need for more financial aid while dodging paying his own taxes in full.
He's a silly twat. I just don't understand why anyone actually pays attention to him.

Birroc

I have always liked him. I like him now. I think I will always like him.

I like his band (U2) and I like their music a lot.

Pottler

My sister is good friends with his wife, went to school together and remained friends. She says he's very nice, a little bit pompous at times, but very nice. His wife is lovely apparently, very down to earth etc. Personally, I feckin hate him, but that might be tinged with jealousy.

Havermeyer

This won't end well.

Pedant

I fart in his general direction.

Pantsface

I coudn't focus on his interview to be honest, i was looking at his massive efforts to try and hide his fat belly

coz he has a huge fat belly

BUBBLE WRAP

This thread remind me of this...

Anyone growing up pre 1985 in Dublin, will realise the impact U2 had - don't like their later music, but their support and following at Glastonbury last year was mind blowing - so yeah I admire him, always think there is that irish thing of jealousy towards him

Pantsface

also noticed his breathing was really laboured - not v healthy

I think South Park made the point that he was born **** and will always be **** hahhaha thing tat gets me is that he's running around helping get millions and millions for Africa when he's own country needs the money more !!!!!! Then again I've never listened to any of his music,never will .

If he payed the full rate of tax here what effect do you think thatd have?
His entire contribution would be a fraction of another tribunal and despite common opinion, we dont exactly need money more then a lot of Africa. Strangely enough he doesnt go preaching about getting donations either, he campaigns against governments holding debts over countries (or the Burma issue).
Also for someone labeled a publicity whore he doesnt really do a massive amount of interviews or turn up at the opening of an envelope.

I find it odd though that JP McManus is some sort of folk hero, even though he has been a billionaire tax avoider for a lot longer than Bono. And the source of his wealth is a complete mystery (he won it on the horses - where have we heard that before?), but that's a discussion for another thread.

Again, to be fair, a million will do a lot more good in poor parts of Africa - if targetted intelligently, not just doled out as charity - than it ever will here.

He was...gotten fair chubby hasn't he. Them pants were way too tight too. Ah he's alright sure, not the worst of them. Any lad that can make a few million despite talent for himself is alright in my books including jedward

Kerrigooney

He`s a horrible little prick that makes me want to vomit every time I see or hear him.

I think of none of them as heros. They are just selfish rich people. I would have so much more respect for them if they (like the rest of us) paid a portion of their income as tax in the country they call home.
