To be fair United have been the best in the land for a long time.

 

One d are one of the biggest bands in the world.

 

Michael McIntyre seems to do alright for someone shit.

 

Maccies isn't a problem.

 

My point is, the average person is a fucking idiot, so the most popular things tend to be fucking shite, which is fair enough. If you think something "must be good" because it gets high viewing figures, why aren't you a Manchester United supporting, McDonalds-addicted One Direction fan?

Going watching Michael McIntyre at the end of the month. I'll let you know.

 

Don't get me wrong, he is funny as fuck. But if we're using viewing figures to define how good things are, he'll be the funniest comedian you ever see in your life, so you'd better enjoy it. Maybe he will be.

Just because I don't like something doesn't mean it is shit

Of course, but just because a lot of people do something doesn't mean it's any good. I nearly used the work "like" instead of "do", but I don't think the millions of people who watch/buy/support/eat these massively popular things actually "like" them. I think they just accept them. How many people who phoned to vote for someone who came 3rd on The X Factor will ever think about that person again? My estimation is none. And they'll probably phone to vote for someone next year who doesn't win either. I'm probably just a miserable cynical cunt.

What happened to all those rubber wrist bands in support of cancer awareness? Did someone come up with a cure? Nobody wears them any more, so I can only assume it worked. What about that ice-bucket challenge thing? Did that solve anything? I doubt even 10% of the people who got involved with those fads actually donated anything, or even knew why they were doing it.

A word of caution for anyone tuning into Friday's new series: the music guests are U2 & Take That.

 

Bringing the tone down with U2, but don't mind a bit of Take That!!

Relight my fire!

U2 are the most cutting edge band around. Didn't Bono outline that recently?

Posted

Enjoyed the programme

 

Bono can't even sing his own songs properly anymore the loathsome little bellend

  

Agree. Watched recording so able to fast forward through the shit. U2 were ok. Bono's voice def a bit iffy. (Unlike Tom Jones on Ross who still sounds amazing!).

Best bit was the "Rumour has it" ditty. Quite funny. Easy watching.

What's the difference between Bono and Jesus?

 

Jesus actually fed 5000 people , Bono just pretended to to sell more records.

 

That it ?

Interesting use of the word "Probably" which leads the reader to believe something is very likely but with a small degree of doubt. I've no doubt all are accurate.

Ice bucket challenges are kind of a summer fundraising stunt.

Have you ever thought that these charities, in order for them all to be appeased, must, while fund raising throughout the year, must also spend some of the money raised in order to highlight the charity. This may happen once or twice a year and during this targeting period you will once again see the charity wrist bands.

A question; apart from the more permanent metal variety, particularly those which also have the badge of your favourite football team, do you wear a poppy outside the period between mid October and mid November?
