BBC News - Band Aid 30 to premiere on X Factor

I once rented a flat from a West-End estate agent. He told me that at another of his blocks a tenant complained about a drunken, smelly Irish tramp turning up and banging on the Foyer doors in the early hours.

Turns out Dave Stewart owned a flat in the block and the tramp was Bob Geldof.

Do they include the new giants of rock, like One Direction, JLS and The Wanted?

Can't wait.

Your wish is granted

JLS have split up. The Wanted are taking a "break".

I've heard the latest list of bands that will be taking part in the new Band Aid charity single.

I'm sure Bono will be on hand to provide all Africa with copy of his band's latest long player.

Kilimanjaro is in Africa and has snow on it pretty much all year round?

Or is it not?

I was expecting that retort. However I don't think any of the people they were singing for lived there.

I knew someone would crack this joke. i was not brave enough myself

Not sure 'brave' is the right word.

But that doesn't rhyme....

Careful about getting facts like that out, it's absurdly easy to be accused of racism when you point out that certain parts of the world have rampant population growth that vastly outstrips the resources. Natures approach to dealing with that is population collapse via famine, as humans we head that off of course....

true but then the facts are also true - anyone who over farms their land for whatever reason will have a bad time

regardless of race, colour or creed.

Population Ethiopia in 1984 was 42.6 million. Population in 2014 is 96.5 million. Unless they address unsustainable population growth they are doomed to have more of these crises.
