As a small postscript to my U2 review, I’ve just remembered that at one point Mr Bongo asked us all to kindly get out our telephones and Make Poverty History. I’m not sure if we made poverty history, but if not, I think I know why: it’s nothing to do with the reluctance of the G8 leaders to cooperate, but rather because of Mr Ox’s appalling grammar. Our specific instructions, displayed on the video screens to the side of the stage were as follows:
Text ‘africa’ followed by ‘your name’ to 80205
Why, why, why, are there quotation marks around “your name”? Do they actually want to receive millions of messages that read “africa your name”? Or did they mean “text ‘africa’, followed by your name, to 80205”?
