arise (hon) 'sir' bono

yep, its true. bono's being awarded an honourary knighthood for "his services to the music industry and for his humanitarian work".
you can read more on U2's website here, and the beeb's site here.
i think that's great, and i think its an honour for him - a great man.
i think 2 of his great quotes are:
"celebrity is currency, and i want to spend mine well"; and
"we can't do everything, but the things we can, we must".
congratulations to him.

juliet turner

last night zoe and i spent a really nice, mellow evening at the concert of juliet turner, held on the southbank in london.
it was great to be able to drive in to london with hardly any traffic on the roads, park underneath the concert venue for minimal fee, listen to some great music in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, and then go out for pizza with juliet, her guitarist brian, guest cellist harry (and wife), and other friends of juliet's.
'twas good to meet up with her again.
wish all concerts were as stress-free as that....

how would christian youthworkers inspire their kids into radical acts of subversion done in the name of god?
thanks to sanctus1 for the tip.
