It's worth giving 20 just to get them to shut up and put something else on.

comic relief has been going nearly 20 years now, and in which time they've raised millions upon millions of pounds.
so why when they show footage of Africa/Ethiopia now doesn't it look any different? what are they doing with all this cash?

I'm gonna be watching something else and to be honest I'm not much bothered what.
I think I'll let my mum choose just for a change. After all it is mother's day on Sunday. LOL

Just watched the tony blair sketch on youtube. I have to say i think he was great. You can tell he's coming to an end of his office - i can't imagine him risking doing that 2 years ago!
Oh I enjoyed that. 
Thanks.

The Radio Times said Carol Vorderman was going to do Numberwang at 9:30pm ... did I miss it or did it not appear? I switched over for Top Gear Top of the Pops and fell asleep!
for some odd reason, i stayed up and watched it all. 'Numberwang' was shown at around or after 1.00am! (with vorderman and johnny ball.)

One of the bits thats get to me are the film clips on location. I think this year they were really quite harding hitting in parts, but in my opinion justified. I make a point of encouraging my two boys to watch those bits. I think it is important for kids to see the reality. Reduced me to tears to see all the aids suffing people, or aids orphaned kids. I was also equally moved by the horror of the domestic violence telephone call. I know it was thought provoking for my eldest boy, who saw that bit with me. You can tell kids how fortunate they are yourself, but some how that brought home the harsh truth of the misery expierenced by some folks. I know I took the opportunity to remind him that we don't always know what goes on behind closed doors, and some of those kids at school who might seem 'strange loners' might be dealing with bigger things than he can imagine.
I was a bit disappointed this time though as the previous red nose day I got involved and worked on the phone lines to take donations. Sadly As the call centre I worked in has closed down we didn't get to do it again.
