    Likewise. I didn't mind the 2004 version apart from the Dizzee Rascal rap in the middle.

    I actually liked Band Aid 20...

    If there is a time for Band Aid 30 it is now. They can even write a new Christmas Song.

    No I think if they do do a version this year, it has to be the same song for continuity

    Hmm, the chorus would have to start with 'heal the world' this time.

    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.

    I'll bet you had to get the vehicle fumigated afterwards though.

    If they re-recorded it with artists of today, is there enough auto-tuning equipment available for that? :-D

    I know, right? You'd think they'd have figured it out AFTER THIRTY SODDING YEARS. Chances are there'll be more snow in bloody Africa than there will be in the UK.

    Just because he has a scruffy look, (part of his overall act), doesn't make him smelly and unkempt like a tramp! /rolleyes/

    I was only joking, but his clothes always do look dirty though.

    He's got to be the scruffiest celebrity.
