Does anyone know who the callers were on Thursday that claimed they were the U2 band members?
Chris ruled out Jon Culshaw saying he wouldn't be awake that early, so was it the band calling or wasn't it?

I'm just listening to that whole link now. Can't figure out who it is, but the last message from "bono" is very random

I agree, far too random for the new messiah & light of the world. I don't imagine him having too much of a sense of humour.

It was the band. It was U2

My money would be on Jon Culshaw. He is that good to pull it off.

[bmstinton93]

I really didn't get that link at all. I don't know what was going on with all the secrecy surrounding who it was

Rumour has it that U2 booked the Royal Crescent hotel in Bath, a helicopter took off from there about 30 mins ago, but it headed north to the M4, so unless it was using the M4, M5, down a bit, right a bit, up a bit to find Pilton.

I preferred the scenario of them being in a van next to Dom and Dave asking ofr a noice & spoicy pot noodle.

[jsnsmith]

I wish you were right, that segment of the show realy put a smile on my face.
Didn't know Dom was that good with comedy accents. Didn't take long for Chris
to nail it though.

You're not serious, are you?

Shu'mai Aled! Thank you for solving this. I thought the voices seemed different from one another where it couldn't have been the same person. On Thursday, I forgot that U2 was playing at Glastonbury on Saturday and because it was Chris (?) who said they were on tour in Boston, I ruled it out that it could have actually been the band members. Wow. So it looks like Dom was right when he said Adam Clayton listens to the show when he is in the area. Very cool and very funny!!

Ace.

And hats off, it was a good effort.

The Boy Who Cried 'Wolf!' sprang to mind when I read Aled's post there...

[stewaj3]

Did you hear Bono being asked to describe what he thought of Coldplay on bbc3? Bono said well I have a few ideas for their setlist... to which he, Jo and Zane burst out laughing! I think Aled was telling the truth...

[R94N]

It was a bit weird.

[nade]

If Aled says it was them, then that's brilliant.

I think the last time they featured on the show was when Dom interviewed them and Bono did the Sea Lion impression(?) - maybe 2 or 3 years back.

[Nicola_Red]

I just assumed that they must have revealed it to be a wind-up later in the show, after I arrived at work and had to switch off. So they didn't resolve the mystery at all? That is kinda weird.

Chris tearing up the U2 "tickets" is the best U2 moment ever on the show. Closely followed by Dave & Will tricking Chris into thinking that the band were playing live for his birthday yet it was a repeat from a session a few weeks earlier.

Yeah, theres a real history of U2 moments, no reason why this shouldn't be a highly speculative occasion, fuels a forum anyway.

Ryan, can you go back to your old avatar please? This one scares me for some reason.

[stewaj3]

Its really clever I mean to not only trick dom but to have the audience unsure as well, I like it, smart radio Like I said im 99% sure it was u2 just by bono's reaction last night (I hope Aled has the audio)

He'll be Bruce Wayne soon.

Says you with yours, leave him alone.

[bmstinton93]

Haha fair point. Its just the him in a dark room thing. I didn't mind his old one.

You'd rather it was Dave in a dark room? (Edit: In his undercrackers)

[bmstinton93]

Of course...!
