Some years back, he was offered an MBE or something and wouldn't take the oath of allegiance that went with it and told Prince Charles something along the lines of "it's ok for you to take it, you don't get any dinner if you don't".

Bono for Ireland's Greatest Ever Person ever.

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/poor_idea_bono_bsUzJMfT2mBJbqyXgp6YoO

its probably to do with my culture night hangover, but i think kim jong il is my favourite person.

 

[Lili Marlene]

ah but they are authors, not people.

Cúchulainn?

 

[therealjohnny]

has Eddie Hobbes been mentioned yet?

 

[Carlow Punks!]

Mary Robinson is your Ma?

I think my mam is the greatest ever Irish person, so I'll be voting for Mary.

 

[Milker]

I'm starting a 'Bono's A Nice Wanker' campaign.....when he dies there'll be a Diana-esque outpouring of praise....terminal 2 will be renamed 'Paul Hewson'.

Still say Collins will take it tho.

My money is on Collins or Connolly.

Joe Duffy is doing the Connolly one he's a fucking shooo in.

Dave Fanning repeated himself about 40 times during his Bono handjob and made out that Bono single is handedly saving Africa. I get it charity/missionary work is one of the great Irish exports and we should be immensely proud of it but surely Kay Kennedy, John O’Loughlin Kennedy or John O Shea (the original John O Shea) or Sean MacBride (He fought in 1916 was in the IRA along with Collins then against Collins then against whoever (now that's what I call Irish). then co-founded Amnesty International) would be better nomminees than "jump on the fucking bandwagon" Bono. And none of those people wrote angel of fucking harlem either for fuck sake.

Rant over Mary Robinson is the dark horse here. She works like a fucking loon for causes that Bono just jumps out in front of. It's as though a country wins the world cup and they present the prize to the fucking mascot.

But Bono had all those songs. And he called George Bush senior a moron. And he hugged that girl at Live Aid. And he sang THAT line in Band Aid. The greatest Irishman ever for sure.

Why is James Connolly in the list? Hes Scottish.

i'd vote to see that.
