Has Bono still not found what he was looking for?
With last week’s #IWouldLikeToBeBetterAt greatness still ringing in our ears, we looked to the greatest rock band on earth [in my opinion, some of you clearly didn’t think so, and let us know] for inspiration.
Having played without a co-host i decided i needed to right that wrong and this week’s host Danielle actually sent me a request asking if she could join me and as a first i decided to say yes cos she had proved in the previous game that she was completely in it and she did not let me down [despite confessing to me later that she actually had to google Bono! Win!]
Even from the name of her Twitterer handle, you can tell Danielle aka @GoGetChaLife means business and she was completely brilliant and from her comment it seems like she had a great time as well:
Danielle: I was given a wonderful opportunity to co-host my first #1 Trending Hashtag game with the honorable Frikkin H.T… SA has a new fan, all the way from Pennsylvania:)
So we based the game on the hit U2 song ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’ and this is how we invited you to play… [remembering that if you have not yet downloaded the FREE @HashtagRoundup app that that is a great way to go about it]…
And show up you did, to the tune of yet another #1 USA Trending Tag:
#1 in the USA #BonoSearchUpdate hosted by @afrikkinhashtag @BrettFishA

And for someone who didn’t quite know who Bono was, Danielle totally came to the party:

#BonoSearchUpdate
“He’s Looking for A Place Called Vertigo”@AFrikkinHashtag— ↪DanℹeLLe↩ (@GoGetChaLife) March 2, 2016
As per usual i shared some of my ideas:
Was Bono perhaps searching for the answer to ‘Who Let The Dogs Out?’ #BonoSearchUpdate with @BrettFishA & @GoGetChaLife
Was he perhaps looking for Every Breaking Wave? #ThisGuyFoundIt #BonoSearchUpdate
Was he looking for a way out of his Spiderman: The Musical debacle? #BonoSearchUpdate
Is it possible that the WHAT was always meant to have been a WHO? #BonoSearchUpdate
Was he perhaps looking for a new avatar? #BonoSearchUpdate
U2 is one of my favourite bands in the world, but i clearly don’t share that love with all of you who play the AFrikkin Hashtag game week in and week out as there was a LOT of Bono hate [how dare people give me free stuff!!!] but i do know what you do love and that is the opportunity to be on this week’s:
