Why the fuck not

No reason, just thought it was a bit of overkill.

I'm glad you don't edit the news.

Hollywood A-listers, some of the world"s biggest names in popular music, numerous noted writers and academics, the President of Ireland as well as tens of thousands of ordinary people lining the streets, leading up to the door of a church in a smallish town in North Tipperary, all to pay their respects at the funeral of one of the finest songwriters of any generation is a newsworthy event.
News channels often use footage of newsworthy events.
As events go, it really couldn't be any more newsworthy.

It's all a matter of personal taste with regard to music etc.

It wasn'ta matter of whether some random 55 year old blue liked his music or not!! Definite teenager stuff going on ..the status of the man is bigger than your personal taste

I shall keep correcting this malapropism until t is finally eliminated

I did not know that.
As a person who hates shoe-in instead of shoo-in, I now have two linguistic bugbears to watch out for.
Thanks for that. :-)

Whatever let's just agree to disagree

I'll be fascinated to see how they all react should the next world cup be held in a country led by a dictator stripping his people of human rights.

That may not be a long wait. If Qatar was bad enough we now read that only Saudi Arabia is the only nation left standing.

Are we offering to host it?

I was thinking of this one.
