Geldof’s rant during the original Live Aid broadcast in 1985 made television history. “Get your money out now,” he shouted at viewers. “There are people dying now, so give me the money.” Geldof swears at one point in the broadcast, saying “**** the address, let’s get the numbers,” but he is often misquoted as having said “give me your ****ing money”.

Give 'me' the money isb a pretty odd turn of phrase given what band aid was meant to be about I didnt know this

So Bob Geldorf says; "“There are people dying now, so give me the money” and swears at one point in the broadcast of the original Live Aid.

For Fecks Sake!!! The guy was a 34 year old pop star in 1985 who was a product of the 'punk' era - as were most of the audience - and not only was it 'cool' to talk in such a fashion, the event was mega, historically ground-breaking, and a phenomenal success, so everyone present was emotionally hyper charged

As for saying bollocks twice during a Sky News broadcast?-- Ooooh I'm shocked. It's reprehensible. Outrageous. Letter to the Times at least.

Oh p--l--e--a--s--e do me a favour. The words; 'Nit' and 'Picking' combined, and 'over-reaction' spring to mind.
