Arise Sir Bono

I hear that Bono is to be given an Honorary Knighthood by The Queen in recognition of his Music and campaigning activities. This is the same honour that was bestowed upon Bob Geldof as a non-UK national. I'm marking this by listening to Achtung Baby ...

Re: Arise Sir Bono

I shall listen to Elgar in honour of the Queen in order to reciprocate the gesture. Perhaps the Taoiseach should make her an honourary member of the River Dance cast as a gesture of goodwill?

Nimrod - I really like that one, Elgar's Nimrod I mean, not saying anyone is a nimrod.


Good for Bono - he could sit on his arse and keep making millions but he chooses to work for humanity. He's a good man.

Ah I didn't know that Uncle, one to file in the old memory bank indeed. January 1965 from memory, month could be out but it was 1965 I'm pretty sure.

Re: Arise Sir Bono

You guys over there would know better than I, probably, but as I understand
it, he can't use the "Sir"?

Not to take anything away from what he does... to use an overworked
word, it's AWESOME.

Re: Arise Sir Bono

Val, you are right, as he is not a British Subject, he cannot be called Sir Bono!
