I am sure you have heard that the large third world countries are undergoing rapid economic growth, such that, (I give one example I heard the other day) within a generation car usage in China will be such that China will use more petrol and diesel every day than are currently consumed by the whole world in a year. It is of course impossible. Politicians are going to have to be forced by public opinion to think further ahead than the next election.

He just stands still holding it and the world revolves around him.

Hilarious, reminds me of a story I heard about the last time U2 played the SECC in Glasgow.

Not too sure if this actually happened but still funny...

The crowd had been waiting for agees, then eventualy U2 graced them with their presence. But instead of getting straight into any of their songs Bono just stood up there in the middle of the stage just starring at the crowd. Anyway Bono starts clicking his fingers roughly every three seconds. This goes on for what seems to the crowd as ten minutes. Eventually Bono steps up to mike and says that "everytime I click my fingers a young child in Africa dies of starvation". Right after that profound statement a member of the crowd shouts to the front stage "stop ****ing doin' it then".

... well I found it funny anyway

Made my morning there fella!

self indulgent + self righteous + self important = U2

The only funny thing in enfield/whitehouse was their u2 bit "hey bono, i ve learned 2 new chords - that'll be good for another 10 albums!"

A pox on them!
