To me he ranks highest on my list of so called "stars" who are always banging on about social injustice, lack of water in countries in Africa, hunger in Africa etc.etc. , yet they live in large houses and amass even bigger fortunes whilst wanting the rest of us to "give £5 a month" to prevent whatever cause they are expounding on. This despite over the years the British public and its Government having poured billions of pounds in Aid money into those countries, to no avail.
Rant over, back to morning smoko.

Re: ne £5 note
Yesterday I had an email from an old friend in England [ex girl friend]She is very Catholic.
Informed me that the church is donating the price of a goat to a poor family in Ethiopia.
She was not amused when I told her that they would eat said goat on arrival.
I was informed in strong terms that it was for milk and breeding.
I refrained to ask if the breeding would be with a goat or a member of the tribe.
Oh well they do try to help.

It was revealed today that a special engraved note, one of only four in existence, was spent in the Square Cafe in #Blackwood at the end of last week.
