    If it keeps the X Factor winner off the number 1 spot that's fine.

    I'd have Mr Blobby re-released and made into number one before the X Factor winner

    That song is bad enough without One Direction raping it.

    Unpleasant turn of phrase.

    Surely Bob has realised that his original record has made not the slightest difference to Africa, poverty still exists there and looks like there always will be.

    I wonder if any 2014 participants will go onto be 2044's pretentious, insufferable tosspots like Geldof, Sting and Bono did?

    So many over-inflated egos there you couldn't fit them in the same room :)

    It has helped some ok not a dent overall but even if it helps a handful it's worth it

    I don't like thinking it, but sadly (having visited many African countries) this is the conclusion i reach also

    What happens to the song royalties which must raise enough to make Africa the richest continent in the world given the air play the track gets every Christmas?

    What are they supposed to use? It wouldn't be very suitable if they did Another One Bites The Dust, would it?

    And of course it's going to be One Direction, Adele, etc. I don't think the BBC are allowed to show anyone who was famous in the Seventies now! :kitty:

    I took Bob to the train station in Cheltenham after he and his rats played a festival there recently.

    When I picked him up, he was a very polite, courteous and well mannered gentleman. When I said to him, "I know it's corny Bob, but could I have a pic take with you?" He replied, "There's nothing corny about it. It's my pleasure".

    He stood there, put is arm round my shoulder, and let the pic be taken. :)

    A thoroughly nice chap.

    Well the video had Paula and Peaches? in it so they can't do an exact remake, then again they will probably superimpose them on.

    Surely Peaches hadn't even been born at the time?

    Actually it was neither. Urban myth. All he said was 'People are dying NOW. Give us the money NOW'.

    True. The F word came when the presenter said lets give out the address "Lets just f*** the address" :D
