Except it's not true according to Snopes.



Ah right, I heard that story before, saying "clapping" put me off.

Well I heard it was Bono clapping that didn't happen!
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

...how, so? Wee bit of an exaggeration, no?


No. I don't, in general, like celebrities doing stuff form charity etc for the sake of doing it. People might ask "who gives a fuck if some good is being done?", well it the level he'll go to appear deeply affected but then he'll forget about it a few months later.

On a personality front, have you heard him talk? Cunt.


How do you know he forgets about it a few month later? Are you personally acquainted or are you just posting made up shite. The fucking racket you made about "cunts calling Trump a Nazi" and here you are filling your nappy about made up shite.

Possibly another incident where he looked stupid, there's a few.

Where's Jim Kerr?

I voted Weller, as I loved The Style Council.
