Bono
U2 were rehearsing in Paris when that city was beset last November, and now, according to The Mirror, the U2 singer,who owns a house in the nearby town of Eze, was eating at a restaurant with friends, including the former mayor of Nice, when blocks away an armed terrorist drove a truck into a crowd, killing 84 people.
According to the New York Daily News Bono was eating on the terrace of La Petite Maison restaurant with chef Alain Ducasse and others when the 18-ton refrigeration truck sent the crowd streaming toward the restaurant.
Bono was ushered into the dining room and left the eatery “with his hands on his head” a half-hour later, after police had given the all-clear.
Geldof must have been too busy.
You couldn’t make it up.
It wasn’t ISIS.
Disaster seems to follow this hoor where-ever he goes, yet he is never torches. My vote would be for exile on an uninhabited island – for every one else’s safety. The man is a Jonah.
Correction. ‘never touched ‘ – lousy predictive text!
We only have to be lucky once
And every time he clicks his fingers, a child dies..

Maybe he was just flicking his lovely hair plugs into place..
Wow, that’s mans hair is a lesson in insecurity.
Edge just wears a hat
Phew! Often worry about his safety after these attacks.
haha
Jesus hair plugs suppose beats an actual wig or heaven forbid an actual hair peice.
I think a hair piece would be fabulous. I was in Croke Park once and I saw the greatest sight ever seen by woman. It was an aul fella from Mayo with a toupee expertly styled and coloured to look exactly like Enda Kenny’s hair. It was truly magnificent.
He also had his sangwidges in a Rovers tin. I know that sounds like I’m making it up but actually the whole story is completely true.
If I were French after all these attacks, I know that the Hollande government have only one course of action to take in light of this news.
Punt Bono’s backside back to Ireland.
No, send him off to ISIS HQ. Maybe the attacks will stop then.
All the U2-hating misfits are bores.
We’re not misfits on this site, since the majority here hate U2.
It’s you who is the misfit.
That’s the kind of hate speech that ends in tragedy.
Why would anyone hate U2. Outside of Ireland they are considered to be up there with all the greats.
Yeah, people like Coldplay too. People are strange.
The majority are oft boring
I like Zooropa.
what is wrong with you
He’s a well traveled chimp, he needs a reminder now and again.
Eclectic tastes and a penchant for whimsy. It’s the world that’s wrong.
i’ve tried to listen to that album again and again…every couple of years i’m like “this time i’ll like it”. nope.
Zooropa is good, Pop is better
Stay and the title track are decent tunes imho.
Ha! I’ve tried to listen to all their other albums ; )
Yeah it’s odd… I think it’s the soundscapes and moods that click with me, rarely lyrics or riffs. I adore ’80s Tom Waits or Blur’s Modern Life Is Rubbish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
( This morning I am listening to the Fleetwood Mac songs featuring Christine Perfect, utterly divine : )
‘Oft’ is it?
A poem I learned at my father’s knee: ‘oft in the stilly night the farmer sent his dog to sh!te, the wind blew, the scutter flew, and the poor dog’s a!se tur ned blue ‘.
Amazing restaurant, great atmosphere and incredible food
Thanks Bonzo.
Seriously BS, you’re posting this item now?
Bono stories are slow news alright.
The headline was the only good part of this story.
Ducasse, Elton John and Bono we’re all apparently rescued by police special forces according to the Telegraph. something to do with Bonos status in the UN perhaps? Or do celebs lives matter….more? They were a half mile from the guy with the truck. I wonder how much it cost the French to protect Bono and Sir Elton?
