YAY!!! All the themes to the CSI programmes then - which is probably how half the audience will recognise them!

Madge and her fantastic dancers are keeping me entertained

I reckon the acts are now playing dare as to who is brave enough to say the f-word when they are performing

Not as though they are trying to grab a few column inches in the papers is it?

What a farce. A few points on my mind.

I thought the whole idea of Live 8 was to enact some sort of social justice. To eradicate elitism. Like Will Smith said about the US constitution: "All men [and women] are created equal.", except at Live 8 in Hyde Park, where they have an exclusive VIP section at the front where some can stand without getting squashed. Hmmm.

The artists are supposed to be donating their time to a good cause. Maybe they think it won't work (which it won't), that is why they are getting gifts. The nicest thing would be to autograph them and give them straight back to auction it for the cause, but I wonder how many would.

Seems funny that such an array of over-pampered celebs are trying to get us to make poverty history. How can you make something that is relative, history? Give everyone $1billion, and then the people who only have $1billion would be in 'extreme poverty'.

How can Russia be considered one of the worlds richest, powerfullest countries when it is living on aid itself?

The swearing is just getting stupid now too.

Few more points I have forgotten though... Don't get me started on bloody Geldof.
