I'm a hard man to please. :sad:

But I'd be impressed with 1% for someone earning five grand. I'd be astounded by 10%!

I would be astounded if the average person gave 10%!!

10% is still 10% and I bet 4 million is a hell of a lot more than most celebrity charity do gooders give.

I am not huge fans of Brangelina, But was reading something about their charity work and aside from adopting half the orphans in the world Brad gave £4 million last year with a reported £45 million worth I didnt think that was too bad... how many of us contribute 10% (ish) of our earnings a year to charity?

Shame he wasn't asking to be shot though.

That still leaves them £41 000 000 a year to live on ... I'd be more impressed, like FM, if they gave £41 000 000 a year to charity and scraped by on a mere £4 000 000 a year. Which is, let me see ... 200 times more than I somehow manage on.

he feels the need to lecture people about what they should do with their limited resources, whilst he indulges in things like property development and is a total corporate whore.

I too find him a bit annoying, I can see your point, he's a hypocrite but so what? How many of us aren't? I know I am. But we knock the people who are at least trying to do 'something' to help other people, however flawed, and tend to leave the truly self-centred alone. It's a human disease. Looking for the spec in our neighbour's whilst ignoring the log in our own.

And he does look old without the glasses...

I'll have you know, Wiggo, that I gave my wife some of those crisps - probably less than 50% it's true.

I'd be far more impressed if they just gave what they want quietly and went about their daily lives being overpaid and wishing for death, its the messianic look at me aren't I just brilliant cos I care so much I can't stop preaching to the masses and boring the ****ing tits off the world whilst flying my hat first class to a gig in Italy or touring with an entourage that is the size of a small Welsh village.

Penises the pair of them. I prefer the footballers and such that visit the hospitals and run charity days, out of the limelight.

I'd rather Bono have said 'I'm overpaid, So........ I'm giving a load of it to Great Ormond Street to open the 'Bono is great Parent Respite Home from Home'

'I'm overpaid, so shoot me' to quote a great thinker on the subject, what a c**t

My thoughts exactly.

The thing that snnoys me most about that article is the fact that Nike are heading a drive to buy clothes to aid poverty in Africa. Maybe they should begin by paying their workers even a few pence more per week, even that would make a huge difference.

The Swooshtika is in full force... evil company.

Totally agree, I'd happily pay a fairer price for goods but, like most people, I don't want to have my expenditure upped just to see the big chain of middlemen rake off the majority of it.

if i was one of the band members, i'd be having a strong word with him about how he's ****ing up my earning potential by becoming such a complete cock, no-one will buy U2 records anymore.

or i'd just impale him on a drumstick.
