By the way, I didn't say it the other day, but I get shivers when Damien comes in on the "Hoooome, how to know what it is" part. Maybe it's the fact he was filling in for The Edge or what, but I crumble.

It does sound great, but to me Edge and Bono are always the duo. Obviously it's always about all four guys, but when Bono does these things on his own it's the Edge that we all want to see with him, they've been there for eachother for the past 36 years! But as Bono said "he couldn't be with us". Damien does a great job of stepping in. Would've been just as cool to see Glen Hansard step in there too.

Doesnt do anything to me imho. Bit messy One performance compared to Clinton and the Amsterdam version.

I think it was a very nice gesture on Bono's part, especially for him to perform Walk On.

But in terms of performance quality, there are superior performances elsewhere.

One thing to keep in mind is that Bono probably hasn't sung Walk On or One since the Moncton show (I was at

), so he's bound to be a tad rusty!

And yes, I had to say it.

U2 star Adam Clayton said he was "extremely rattled" and astounded when Carol Hawkins confessed that she had used nearly (EU)15,000 of his money to pay for flights for herself.

The bass guitarist denied he had given Ms Hawkins authority to spend his money for her own benefit and also denied that she had made large purchases for his Danesmoate mansion, such as art and furnishings.

"I would buy the things I wanted around me. Carol Hawkins bought cornflakes," said Mr Clayton.

Mr Clayton, dressed in a navy jacket and grey shirt, was sworn in last Thursday at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to give evidence on Day 12 of the trial against Ms Hawkins, who is accused of embezzling nearly (EU)3m of his money between 2004 and 2008.

Making himself comfortable in the witness box, Mr Clayton adjusted the microphone after Judge Patrick McCartan said: "You are used to the microphone, so, like all the others, I would ask you to speak into it."

Mr Clayton's reply of: "I'm more of a dum, dum, dum; I will practise my technique," caused a moment of laughter in the packed court room.
