Nice headline. Thread over before it began.

TFA didn't say but it did mention if students don't eat their meat, they can't have any pudding.

The dress code is odd... why do they kids have to shave their eyebrows off?

It seems Africa gets more than its fair share of problems. Glad to hear there's some good news nowadays.

Somebody vindicate me. Doesn't he look like Seinfeld in that movie??

Good headline, but I might have left off the "because he doesn't like Mondays" bit. Simply referencing Tue-Fri would have been sufficient and subtlety is very British.

 
dudemanbro [TotalFark] 2009-11-29 04:15:51 AM  
Someone's got a case of the Mondays.

Somebody vindicate me: Doesn't the lead villian in the latest Tarantino stinker look like Bob Geldof?

Why not give the new school to the United States instead?

But it's kinda bland. But hey, you can eat it through your nose.

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas.
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

That guy in "The Wall" looks like Bob Geldof

Can't stand this guy, but....fark. You're a honorable man, Geldof.

Based upon my visits to the only Ethiopian bar I've ever seen, Ethiopian food is delicious.

It is! It's my favorite food. I've had excellent Ethiopian food in San Francisco, Sacramento, Berkeley, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, New York and best of all, Los Angeles has a whole neighborhood - a whole community called Little Ethiopia, and the food there is amazing.

I hear all the students will have Peaches for a midday snack.

Good on Geldof! He's put a lot of his time and effort into helping people he hasn't even met, so he's tops in my book.

As for the girl who inspired "I Don't Like Mondays," she's a real piece of work. Link (new window) She puts the blame everywhere but on herself.


"In 1993, Spencer claimed for the first time that she had been under the influence of drugs (PCP) and alcohol when she opened fire, adding that the state and her attorney conspired to hide her drug test results. Both former prosecutor Charles Patrick and Spencer's attorney, Michael McGlinn, vehemently denied that any evidence was hidden in her case.

At a parole hearing in 2001, Spencer claimed for the first time that her violence grew out of an abusive home life in which her father beat and sexually abused her. The board's chairman, Brett Granlund, expressed doubt about the allegations, saying Spencer had never discussed them with counselors."

"Ethopia is getting a new school thanks to the efforts of Bob Geldof"

Ethopia ain't no country I ever heard of.

 
jonnypeh 2009-11-29 07:52:35 AM  
Definitely a good thing. Better than the usual "OH LETS GET A LOAD OF MONEY TOGETHER AND BUY FOOD FOR ALL OF THEM"

teach man to fish, etc.

Is it a military style school?

Good job. Only a short 25 years after Live Aid he's finally getting a school going. Next up, a new well in Niger in 2020.

your own achievements in the same period are stunning too

 
liquid_love 2009-11-29 03:14:22 PM  
I love The Wall, but Geldof is a douche. Remember Live Aid? He tried to make it seem like he was personally responsible for every little bit of it. He's one of those "I suffer for my work" dudes. Although it is hard to argue with the good that has been done here. I'm just saying how much of it is really thanks to Geldof? I mean really.

//still entitled to my crappy opinion
///suck it, Geldof
