Children in Greed

[gratedenini]

Well, by hook or crook (and probably the latter)--I`m gonna do what ever i can to acquire a bottle of vodka and start drinking it at approx 6pm so that I can get totally out of my tree enabling me not to have to endure the whole thing.

I can`t abide it.

Its obviously a great cause and that---but the sketches and that are shite for me, although I always start bubbling when the film rolls of black kids with flies in the corners of their eyes etc.

But...you`ve just got to watch some of it haven`t yer eh?

So--what are you gonna do to avoid Sir Tell and his bobbing head?

we're having fancy dress at work and a bake sale

Given the number of TV channels, and other things you could be doing, it's hardly difficult to avoid.

Great cause IMHO but I don't watch it.

And you're either fishing or ignorant with your comment about "black kids with flies in the corners of their eyes". Last time I checked, Children in Need is primarily for UK causes.

i won't be watching it, not for any daft reasons, it just doesn't interest me.

i won't be doing anything specific to make a stand of "i'm not watching it".. i'll just be watching other channels.

The students have organised wearing pyjamas for the day. I doubt it will apply to staff!

I give to charity often, not just on a certain day when Terry Wogan tells me I should...

[saratink]

I'm not doing anything special for it, although i probably will watch a bit of it.

At the school my mum teaches at, the teachers are supposed to be wearing the pudsey t-shirts, and my mum bought one costing £6, but only £1.50 of that actually goes to children in need!

The rest of the money, I presume, will go to the sweatshop owners?

[minute5072]

Not been any mention of it at my work. I'm sure someone will go round with a bucket or summit.

Will be out getting morbidly drunk in the evening so will miss all the telly anyway

getting very drunk in glasgow watching the coral

[dakyras]

Find me a child that isn't a needy little gobshite.

[rexclark]

Well I'm all for raising money for half blind bears.

[brighteyes]

I only give to Dogs Trust. Though I've recently found out that some of the money goes abroad (Ireland), which makes me feel f**king sick.

You need to get out more. So much anger about a charity telethon. Do what many of the rest of us do, don't watch it!

So, you discriminate and give for a little Jack Russell in Leeds but shun an Irish Wolfhound in Belfast or might yer brass be going to Dogs of The IRA?

Mind--Dogs Trust--told you eh...EIGHTY QUID they charge you to re-home a dog. That is ridiculous, unless its maybe a pedigree.

i don't see what's wrong with paying £80 for a dog.

[rachbon]

i'd be willing to pay £800 for a dog when i get my own place!
