  1. Maybe so, but wheeling out an ex Beatle for 1 song put him top of the bill. Just a pity they forgot to switch his mic on.
  2. Bono fucked off stage and left the band still playing Bad, they could probably have squeezed in another song if he had hung about.
  3. They aren't on the official DVD, so must have blocked being on that, but it's still on YouTube.
  4. The documentary that was on the other night is on iplayer and is a decent watch, gives a good insight into the logistics that went into it.
  5. Tbf, The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, and Achtung Baby were all post Live Aid, so for all that he is a pretentious p***k these days, it wasn't all bad.
  6. My sis in law was staying over on Saturday, we got talking about it being 35 years since live aid, and dug out the DVD to watch a bit. It shows where Queen's standing in the music world at the time was when they were on in late afternoon, with Elton John and Paul McCartney being the bill toppers at Wembley. Whatever you think of Queen, they were the band that stole the show and had the biggest bounce in sales etc after the event. U2 weren't far behind, although the rest of the band thought Bono had fucked it after going walkabout, leading to a 12 minute unscripted version of Bad, meaning they only played 2 songs in their slot instead of the 4 had planned. I watched it right through from start to finish, too young to realise the significance of Led Zeppelin playing together, but they were utterly shite on the day. Watched their performance on Saturday and it is cringeworthy.
  7. Nope, nobody on here is jealous as f**k. Not at all.
  8. Re: Brassed Off, I would put my house on the bit where Danny is in hospital and the band play Danny Boy outside his window as being one of the scenes.
  9. 9 for Monday, archipelago wrong. Fluked the quarks, and almost picked the wrong answer for the smart device despite having 3 of them in the house.
  10. Could be Claude Balls if I disturb her the wrong way.
  11. Me and my pal watching MotD2. Well, I'm watching it.
  12. Posted further up on this thread, but Morikawa looked the best of the 3 college stars who came onto the Tour last year. Hovland had a great tourney this week, I still have doubts that Wolff's swing will hold up long term. Tbf, being all over the line on the back swing didn't stop Furyk from doing pretty well.
  13. Dave Clark stepping down from live darts coverage on Sky, almost 10 years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
  14. I used to have this book, it was brilliant. God knows why I parted with it.
  15. Morikawa bounced back today to force a playoff with Justin Thomas, underway just now.
  16. Game over, Windies win by 4 wickets.
  17. Got to love TMS for a stat, if Stokes was to get Holder out it would be the first time ever in a test match that the opposing captains had dismissed each other in every innings.
  18. Dowrich out for 20, 32 needed with 5 wickets in hand, Holder about to face Stokes now. It was a peach of a ball from Stokes to get Dowrich out.
  19. Yep, think you are right. Henman had beaten Federer in the Quarter Final, but then lost to Ivanisevic much like you said. Goran had also beaten Rusedski.
  20. Watching the old finals on BBC2, forgot how good Ivanisevic v Rafter was, played on the Monday with the tickets sold on a first come first served basis.
  21. Surely even Leeds can't bottle it from here? Next match is at home to bottom of the table Barsnley. A Yorkshire derby against a struggling side, what could possibly go wrong?
  22. If anybody wants some putting tips, here is a link to some stuff from Phil Kenyon, who has coached multiple major winners. Sign up and it sends you a link to a few videos. https://philkenyonputting.com/gift/
  23. Marc Warren has only just gone and won the Austrian Open, beating Marcel Schneider by 1 shot on -13, with Craig Howie and Connor Syme tied for 4th on -10. It's Warren's first win since 2014.
  24. Fixed. Arithmetic not a strong point on a Sunday. [emoji3]
