Ah but, being good Germans and having listened to what their English teachers said, surely they would say …”life 8″ ……. like “Life-Sendung” …..As much as I support the cause…..I don’t particularly rave about Geldof …an arrogant nerd if ever there was one…..I’m going to get a car sticker “Make Geldof history”…
