sick of these TV beg-athons.....

its for charity

yes, bit of an odd post.

charity begins AT HOME... not FROM HOME

just think... if the BBC spared families the cost of the licence fee... how much more dosh families would have to spend on their poor little kiddies in NEED.... as opposed to lining the pockets of Jonathon WOSS and co...

agree sunderland

at least the money for this one stays in the country though

the situation in africa hasnt improved one jot in the 50 odds years (it seems!) of Live Aid etc .... suggest too many are taking their cut before (if it even does) it reaches those that need it

and the level of entertainment is crap

when you watch the documentaries, you see the money is going to great use, so as far as Children in Need is concerned i think its a great event

i'm getting ready for the next one
pollishing my red nose then going to stick it on my sierra
so much fun
and for such a good cause

people who think children in need is a great event = mugs in my opinion

If the BBC didn;'t have the license fee it wouldn't exist, and the nation's greatest programmes, so popular with the viewers, wouldn't exist. And nor would this hugely successful event.

'charity begins AT HOME... not FROM HOME'

What are you saying?

sparky

this is the guy who has just called me a mug for supporting a charity event, he's obviously not worth conversing with

Well I wouldn't say all charity events are necessarily worthwhile, but if you're going to make a claim you need to back it up...before calling people mugs, of course.

well ofcourse, but im not saying that, i think its obvious w are discussing C I N which in my opinion is a good event, even if in most minds its not, still unnessesary for that

if this country worked as it should... and tax revenue was alocated correctly... (just in the way household budgets are alocated throughout the land) then there would be no need to ask the public for charitable donations IMO

Indeed, and judging by its success, there's little negativity towards it, just a bitter...and as you've rightly observed, unpleasant few.

To Gary :-)

GB - whilst i dont doubt that Comic Relief do a great job, its worth nothing when the local militias come in and just take it from those who need it

agree with sunderalnd - we have helped the world for 20 odd years with these telethons - now we are in deep recession i wonder if Africa will do one for us! (joke!)

i understand the point being made, but as this is they way life is

if we dont give money to these C I N then it wont just make the BBC all of a sudden stop license fees will it, so thats why we should still do it

the local militias of...where?

It's Children in Need by the way, you're a few months out.

And miles.

If I want to donate to a charity I donate to a charity. I don't need an evening of hlafwit TV to encourage me.This crap is *****with everything. *****with every damned thing.

:)

he's just gearing up for a big comic relief donation imo ;)

but dobbo it clearly works

just whizz it thru on fast forward when they start the begging bit (sky+) nap

It raises peanuts.

FINGERS CROSSED THEY DONT BEAT LAST YEARS TOTAL... THAT WILL BE A SIGN THAT THE DAYS OF THIS CRAP ARE LONG AND TRUELY OVER!!!

what do you have against children Sunderlandfan?

They will never let it happen

I feel embarrased for all of them playing the fool and that

I believe the continent of Africa has been in a perpetual state of war since ... well a long time before I was born

maybe naming a few african countries without militia would be quicker although not necesaary easier

thanks john humble

Nope, go ahead, name those supported by Children In Need.

sparkmaster - i understand you want to give to an organised charity event but not everyone falls for it

I wonder if Terry is picking up his £50k this year?

yet again, name these local militias supported by Children in Need.

I know these things are puke making but a quote from my four yeard old grandson.
My other daughter is pregnant and he heard them discussing it and he asked what they were talking about. She said "I might be having a baby"
He said:
"Or a lion"

sorry £10k

so if this mug gets paid for a charity event, you cant expect hard up folks to shell out cash

yet again, name these local militias supported by Children in Need.

he doesnt get paid anymore towers after that truth came out and there was a big row over it

And he doesn't seem like a mug to me :-)

sparkmaster you knob - where did i say CIN - we are talking begathons in general and im talking about live aid specifically

Terry looks like he needs to retire .he looks out of his shoes

HAHAHHA... I can see the headlines 2moro already....

PUBLIC GET WISE AS CHILDREN IN NEED FLOPS

Ah, I just thought that on the night of Children in Need your comment might have related to it, not an event some time ago.

Thanks for the abuse though.

You're happy, presumably, to clarify that you weren't talking about Children In Need?

£20 million


more money than ive got

How many of the acts are appearing because it's for charity or because they've got a new record out etc.

towers me and sparky are only talking about C I N

I like Wogan, they had to thaw him out since Wednesday to get him ready for tonight's gig.

that's why piracy is acceptable popup

how many of the acts tongight werent promoting new singles

eastenders were hardly promoting new singles ffs

eastenders are contractually obliged since they work for the BEEB... otherwise most of them cudnt be arsed to get out of bed

newsreaders

the bill

?

So...just to be clear... you're Ok with the fact that no local militias were supported by today's events?

'eastenders are contractually obliged since they work for the BEEB'

Source please.

ofcourse theyre not sparky

Well I assume as much, but it IS fun to ask!

very true :)

could be an interesting responce

or....a complete fail! Unconscious I suspect!

i think thats the case, you wonder why people post that sh!t in the first place

This is way past your bedtime Gary, you should be dreaming now of The Ginger One heading home a hat-trick, supplied by the wand of Johnson.
