Bono Takes World Bank To Tea... We caught up with our favourite rock superstar last weekend out supping in Dublin folks. Yup. Our boy Bono brought the missus and the Managing Director of the World Bank out for a bite on The Green, as one does, of a Saturday night... Ali Hewson, Ngozo Okonjo-Iweala, Bono That wee Bono fella sure likes to hobnob doesn't he folks? Like, even when he's home he doesn't hardly go for the morning papers without Nelson Mandella and Aung San Suu Kyi along to carry the milk and bread for the brekki. It's just how he rolls baby. Ali Hewson, Bono Last Saturday night we copped Mr. U2 leaving the Cliff Town House on St Stephen's Green with his lovely wife Ali and Ngozo Okonjo-Iweala - Managing Director of The World Bank and the former Nigerian Minister of Finance... Trumps Brian Cowen getting 18 holes-in with Seanie Fitz any day... Bono Saying that, we have no idear why Bono was chewing the cud with the Managing Director of The World Bank nor any idear what The World Bank actually is or what it does... But it sounds important and well impressive, so hopefully Sir Paul of Hewson put in a good word in for us impoverished Irish folk with Ngozo... We're good for it, we swear. Ask anyone... Ali Hewson, Ngozo Okonjo-Iweala, Bono After their big nosh-up on the town, Bono and Ali skipped arm in arm to the nearby Residence club... Awww teenagers in love. Does your heart proud, doesn't it folks? Ali Hewson, Bono

ElvisNumber1 – connecticut January 26, 2011 - 00:48 it isn't easy to watch one person being given so much and sometimes you just get sick of hearing/seeing him...but that's due to sites like this! the one thing i really like about him is he has stayed true to his brother, his teenage friends, his wife he met when when they were teenagers, his band mates he met as teenagers, his town. when the whole world is telling him ridiculous things as if he's a god, he is still surrounded by those who know him best. you can't fake 30 years of friendship and marriage. good to see his wife arm-in-arm and to see his teenage buddies still showing up together. liam lynch – dublin January 22, 2011 - 20:06 typical irish idiots lashing bono we are a sad nation and this whole tax thing is a joke of course he pays tax in ireland as he does in france holland and the states but dont we hate a success story on our great ireland Gav – D January 20, 2011 - 09:26 I can't tell if that guy "the Irish nation" is serious or not... Look mate, Bono is a hypocrite. Anyone who refuses to pay tax in their own country has no right to even comment on that country's politics, never mind lead the flipping country. Further, considering how wasteful U2 are with money (massive overspends on tours, albums, this upcoming doboojeentary/live show DVD, etc), I wouldn't trust Bono to go to the shops to buy a pint of milk with my money, never mind manage the nations finances. Get a grip. deft punk January 19, 2011 - 23:43 does his Missus ever not wear black ? Brian Cowen – The Dail January 19, 2011 - 15:15 Feck off Bonzo stick to yer own nixer! The Irish – Nation January 19, 2011 - 14:03 This is a plea to Bono aka Mr. Paul Hewson. Dear Paul, please take over the seat of Irish Taoiseach for a single year and help get this suffering nation back on its feet once again. You have the power, heart, intelligence, and influence to push our foreign agenda and force back the world markets demanding sky high interest rates. You and you alone have what it takes to save Ireland from provincial politics and self interest motivated politicians. Bono, please please please take your eye off Africa for one year and cast it homeward, we need a leader and a statesman now more than ever. We beg you to be that person. The Irish Nation Rickster January 19, 2011 - 11:50 Managing Director of The World Bank and the former Nigerian Minister of Finance...sounds like some internet scam.
