Give Us Your F*cking Money

Proof, if proof be needed that Saint Bob never uttered those famous words. By sheer coincidence (and rooting through the parents' VHS cupboard for Muppet Christmas Carol) I found a recording of the full Live Aid. And this moment, featuring Word's very own David Hepworth.

It was banging the table that did it
that was the moment, not the f-word. I watched this as a 12 year old when it went out, I hardly registered the swear word, you could already tell how riled he was when he bangs the table and says "..NOW".
it was Pamela Stephenson
reading the phone numbers that did it for me ;-)
Very interesting, but ...
... did you find the Muppet Christmas Carol? I hope so, as it's a great film, and you'd never catch Kermit swearing (though I wouldn't bet my house on Miss Piggy not doing so).
Kermit has a heart of gold
And even Ms Piggie keeps it together in this one. All just to put a brave face on for Tiny Tim.
Welling up just thinking about it. Hell yes I found the tape!
Great glasses from The Hep
and London numbers beginning 01. Very evocative footage. I was playing cricket that day but remember watching the evening stuff in the bar later and even the older, stiffer club members were forced to admit that it was a great event. I remember the queue outside the club phone box as people waited to make a donation.
certain irony there
Geldof exhorting everyone to not go to the pub but stay in and give the money to live aid
and where's Sheev that night?
true - but a bit harsh
I think I did make a donation. I was only 18 or so and certainly didn't have a credit card - but sent off a postal order (do they even exist anymore?) to the Girobank (does that even exist anymore?).
To be honest though whilst good causes were a good thing - I think the main things I cared about at that age were sport and birds and booze - all of which were present at the Sports Club.
nice to see
the Goth community represented by that shortarse Astbury
The presenters..
Seem to have come in for a lot of stick from the organisers for the "smashy/nicey" attitudes. Geldof in particular seems to have felt it was too showbizzy.
David Hepworth should learn from this notorious episode...
and scream "GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING MONEY... NOW!" on the podcast with regards to subscriptions.
Mark Ellen starts to read out the address... "FUCK THE GODAMN MOTHERFUCKIN' ADDRESS!" retorts his vexed colleague.
Word Towers inundated with thousands of telephone calls to Subscriptions Hotline.

Wasn't that the Multi-Coloured Swapshop number as well? Or the Radio 1 number. I remember it from somewhere.
Indeed it was...
Also the number for Mr Blobby's Massage Parlour.
