hey guys

somehow it doesnt matter who is better than the others in this concert!!!!!!!

The whole point is did the message get to every one of you out there, hopefully yes, then if it did thats the start of a long road ahead for everyone involved!!!!!!!

I personally think the whole concert/s has been great and am sooooo lookin forward to the one in Edinburgh midweek. Respect whats involved not just the music thats played!!!!!!

Cheers :beer:

Here Here!

Had a great day! Had a good chat with my daughter about it too and shes done a card for a little girl in Africa and is going to put some money in it from her money box for her to buy some medicine - bless her heart. She even spoke to her nan and asked her to donate any of her slippers that she didn't want any more. So proud of her!!

bring on the lager now!

There have been some good acts, enjoyed The Who & The Killers, Pink Floyd on at the moment, although Live 8 will achieve nothing. All it does is let a bunch of pop stars look cool & white, middle class westerners 'do their bit'.

Until the mindset of Africa changes, nothing will change.

You are quite right in what you say because apparently debt will be wiped out by the g8 summit

It's the following aid that is being argued over...whether or not to give it to countries that help themselves as oppose to the likes of mugabe et al
