  1. Bono: On Roger Moore and Jay-Z Bono: I had a great one where I was in Monte Carlo sitting in a pizza joint, and some very broad-shouldered men in suits with strong American accents came up and explained that Mr. Jay-Z and the lovely Beyoncé were in the grill room, if I wanted to drop by. I may have even recommended the grill room to them. I said it was a kind invitation, but I'm really not dressed for that kind of thing, it's a very posh place. He came back 15 minutes later and said, "Mr. Jay-Z has organized it so that would not be a problem." I said, "I know the very strict dress code there," because I've come up against it over the years, "And tell him thank you very much for that, but ..." The third time he came back and he said, "He has the manager waiting." I then looked over and I saw Roger Moore, and he said, "Hello," and I said, "How are you doing?" and he said, "Great, what are you doing?" I said, "I'm off to see a friend of mine called Jay-Z at the grill room." He said, "Jay-Z?" I said, "He's a great rapper." His wife said, "What is a rapper?" "Well, it's hard to explain in a moment, but it's kind of about words and rhythm," I said. Then I asked them if they'd like to say hello, knowing that if I arrived with Roger Moore, there's no way, even if it all went wrong, there's no way they're going to throw me out. He's the sharp-dressed man of sharp-dressed men, and he's with his beautiful wife. So we walk up, and sure enough, there's the manager: "How are you doing?" I walk up, we go up to the room, which I love, this beautiful room. The roof opens there, and it's where Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra used to hang out. I know it very well, and sometimes I go there, but I'm here now in a vest and jeans, looking like Jay-Z's mechanic, and I walk in, and there's a whole bunch, there's Beyoncé, Lyor Cohen, and I just hear, "It's mother####in' James Bond! It's James Bond, I'm hanging out with James Bond!" I just think, "What?" Then it just all starts to make sense to me. Hip-hop is so James Bond -- the cars, the planes, the suits, the dresses, the guns, and I had no idea. It was like bringing Picasso to a bunch of painters. 10/6/2009
  2. Been to a couple of games and I risked it with the touts, selling tickets. As soon as got of subway there were a few touts and I was able to get 2 decent tickets for around $70-$80 for a pair. Hand the amount I wanted to pay visible and nothing more. Was a few touts hanging about so was able to walk away and try another if need be. Also used stub hub and waited till a few days before game as a few last minute sellers and decent seats available.
  3. The NFL introduced the challenges rule in response to the time it took to complete games due to video replays. video technology still relies on a person watching a replay and making a decision- there will be occasions when it is not clear cut - a player offside but in line of sight of goalkeeper for example, these decisions will take longer to decide and will require multiple replays to get the correct decision - still be based on someone's opinion. red cards can also be difficult - if the player sends a player off for a foul that turns out to be a a good tackle the players and coaches will be challenging every decision to be looked at. on a positive the 20-30 seconds it takes will allow the tv companies to schedule a few adverts during games.

  5. The law would say differently. so maybe a case of resign or be sacked ?
  6. Just spent the morning copy and pasting information from last year report into this years report, as according to my boss - this years report did not have enough words in it!
  7. The story about lawrie Cunningham was quite funny - 3 guys abuse him and wife in street, he confronts them, beats them up and one of the guys suddenly realises who it is that has beat them up and is star struck.
  8. am sure some of the more talented members can come up with lyrics. - winning in 67, taking goal posts in 77, and Dennis law, king kenny better than bobby Moore ?
  9. a big poppy display before kick off with fans holding up paper, to show up FIFA . It would be mandatory to participate in display, or you would be identified by cctv and publicly shamed and named. And your points points deducted, would ensure that everyone took part in this.
