Re: Children in Need
 

Tell her to break a leg ,,for me,,,,:),oooh i dont mean it litterally :o

Re: Children in Need
 

I will be watching, as I do every year. :) hence the avatar :)

Re: Children in Need
 

well ive only been to the cemetary today so havent seen any goings on in town or anything, i'm sure they will beat last years money anyway :D

Re: Children in Need
 

I haven't been out today but the grandchildren got to wear their own clothes to school and paid fifty pence.

Re: Children in Need
 

Better still, he could have give us a break and not done it at all :( this man seriously irritates me!!

between him and bloody Tony Blackburn ..... grrrr 2 most annoying men walking this planet.

Re: Children in Need
 

Wow ... that is some achievement! I have never heard of either of those two, but with all the competition around, they must be proud to tie for first place in the "annoying men" category. I have been trying and practicing for years and I can't break into the top hundred:( Are they "amateur annoying" or true professionals:confused:

Re: Children in Need
 

Eric, if you don't know either of these men, you're the lucky one!!

Tony Blackburn is on the left .... Terry wogan on the right ;)

Re: Children in Need
 

my kids all wore their own clothes and paid £1 each, i emptied all my change into the bucket in town and was offered a cake!! due to my diet going so well i refused, but they looked really good

Re: Children in Need
 

DIET?? DIET?? :eek::eek::eek:

What the fffffffffffffffffff fluffing hell do you mean diet?? :(

Re: Children in Need
 

Hey we agree on something. I think he was banished from Ireland for being annoying.

Re: Children in Need
 

You always agree with me Neil ....... the slaps hurt too much for you not to :p

Re: Children in Need
 

its the (get ready for xmas diet), im new to it, it works, you eat no junk all day, then at night to ease you off to sleep you give in to temptation, and eat what you like :D

Re: Children in Need
 

Yeah, I see what you mean. Over here guys like that usually end up selling used cars or insurance.:D But can someone give me a brief run down of "Children in Need"? :confused: I get the drift that it some kind of national rather than local event.

Re: Children in Need
 

Well don't be going over board on this diet young lady.
Last time I saw you, i'd seen more meat on a butchers pencil ...... ;)

Re: Children in Need
 

yes it is national. It's a fund raising event for ... well ' Children in need '

Joe public do silly things to raise money!! or you can ring in on the night and donate.

Re: Children in Need
 

Thanx ... sounds like a great idea. All the stuff we do for kids in need seems to be done locally. In Kingston the Salvation Army gives out free turkeys and one can do things like donate snow suits to needy kids. I like the idea of a national event. One of the things that troubles a lot of Canadians is the persistence of child poverty in a country which is so well off.

Re: Children in Need
 

I know :( it's awful

Re: Children in Need
 

OH heck!! Leona Lewis wasn't singing that song, she was bad at pretending lol

Re: Children in Need
 

whats your favourite so far from this years children in need??

Re: Children in Need
 

Holby city for me

Re: Children in Need
 

i liked the dr who bit but it wasnt long enough.......

Re: Children in Need
 

I don't watch DR who, not keen on it.

Re: Children in Need
 

I liked the Spice Girls. :)

Re: Children in Need
 

Victoria used to be quite cute but now – well I’ve seen more meat on a bone for the dog.

In fact she would not be out of place in a Lowry painting.

Re: Children in Need
 

I agree, she did look better when she had a bit of meat on her.

Re: Children in Need
 

I just watched the Nobenders one!! I quite enjoyed that :D

Re: Children in Need
 

The spice girls, like Leona were also miming.

Westlife and Annie Lennox were live though as was David Gray. Ipersonally would pay good money to see Annie Lennox live, I think she is one of the most extraordiary female singers ever to appear on stage. She's just fab!!!

Re: Children in Need
 

Great that so much money is being raised for worthy causes, however the whole thing is tainted for me since it was revealed that Sir Terry Wogan pockets a fee for tonight of £75,000, and has done since the charity was launched, even though all the other performers and presenters give their time for free.

The whole thing is a bit of a shambles. It's like watching Saturday night telly in the old East Germany.

After a very unfunny Hotel Babylon/Fawlty Towers scetch, Sir Tel asks Prunella Scales if she enjoyed reviving the role of Sybil Fawlty, to which she replied she'd forgoten what to say. Silence.

Still, lots of money for charity, and the lovely Fiona Bruce's legs looked great in the Chicago set.

Re: Children in Need
 

OMG ..... Tony Blackburn is on it aswell ............... I don't fffffffluffing believe this. How weird, the 2 most annoying men together!! as i predicted... :(

Re: Children in Need
 

I thought Terry Wogan wasn't taking his fees for tonight.

Re: Children in Need
 

I hope so. Good to hear, though I think the fact that this was exposed earlier this year, and made public, may have something to do with his change of heart.

Re: Children in Need
 

You have to feel sorry for Fern Cotton. Co-presenter of the show, not only having to work with some dementia stricken geriatric but she also gets last pick in the wardrobe department.

Re: Children in Need
 

Well I loved the kids in dragon's den, especially the 9 year old, bless :)

Re: Children in Need
 

I liked the Jo Brand thingy,,never mind the buzzcocks,, she always cheers me up
My son and grandson from Burnley ,have just come in ,they are staying for the night after helping to man the phones at blackpool,,they said it was realy busy,,,

Re: Children in Need
 

Re: Children in Need
 

A re-united Boyzone was my favourite bit - at least until Stephen Gately started getting all hyper about it - bless him :)

Re: Children in Need
 

Him not being paid his seventy five grand fee this year, doesn't benefit the charity.

I suppose it allows him to stand there, not feeling guilty, amongst all the other performers who have given their time for free.

The BBC will probably just split the £75,000 between those other two underpaid presenters, Ross and Norton. :D

Re: Children in Need
 

i was gobsmacked when i found out he got paid a whopping big fee,,,i always thought he did it for free:(:(:(
