Victoria Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 "Friday, October 12, 2007 (New Delhi) Former US vice president and climate change campaigner Al Gore has been awarded this year's Nobel peace prize. Al Gore was presented with the honour along with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In what comes as good news for India, the intergovernmental panel, which brings together the world's top climate scientists, is headed by India's RK Pachauri." No comment. For once in my life.

LordRasta Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I guess it'll go nicely with his Oscar and his Emmy awards. He may even have a Grammy also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 What next? Bono? FFS. Cornerstone, Bono is an absolutebloody shoe-in one day. I'd stake my first-born newt on it. President Chavez too, if he plays his cards right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 My money for next year's prize is on Mr Kipling. My theory is that his fondant fancies have done more to defuse tense diplomatic negotiations and military stand-offs, and generally save the world from the brink of catastrophe than all of Betty Crocker's cakes combined. A controversial standpoint, obviously, but I'm not afraid to call it as I see it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
