>you're talking about a large pile of mud.......<

sorry, been trying to think of something sarcastic or witty to say....
but you have just blown me away with your stupidity.....this is, after all, a site for those with a deep love of ancient large piles of mud, big stones, little stones and stones with assorted scratches and scrapings on them.

Pile of mud, maybe.

Your statement, heep of shite, most definate!

But would we have been talking about it at all if Geldof had kept quiet. There has been world poverty and people dying for many years now, even before Geldof came along. What difference would it make to the situation if we all gave up thinking about everything else untill this was resolved.
Maybe you are only able to deal with one thing at once but some of us are quite capable of thinking of several things at the same time.
Should archaeologists stop investigating 'piles of mud' just because something worse is happening in the world?
