Please if anybody knows the identity of the Irish octogenarian crooner with the penchant for exotic beauties will they let the 'Questionmaster' know, it's obvious he's losing sleep over this ;)

To think Shane does this is ridiculous. Do you really think Shane MacGowan has ever needed to pay for sex?


Well, Maybe.

But to me the question is not of just a sexual nature(the actual act of having sex with prostitutes), it is of a sexist nature. The bit about the women being of different races. It is not only reducing whoever they are refering to as sexist, but also a racist. So, back to the original question..could this in fact be about Shane? If so, why would they think it would be Shane?


It isnt racist to have one white one black and one asian. Its anything but racist. If he had said 'one white one black and no asians' that would be racist. Unless however he had a perfectably good reason for not wanting asians which had nothing to do with their race.

It's reducing people's identities to their races. It could be argued that that's racist, I reckon.

i'd suggest that the "united nations" comment may be aimed at Bono, given how he sometimes seems to think he IS the united nations.
