Well it was good that Elton John donated a large cheque a few years back, but he'd previously spent a similar amount on flowers for him and his partner, or so I seem to remember the papers saying?

Well, yes but that did quite famously bankrupt him.

They announced during Comic Relief last night that somebody had phoned the donation line and given them £6,000,000.

kids all got red nose,s and did some stuff at school
but just a rant

saw some of the clips (more about uk projects)

dont get me wronge what they do is fantastic

but the clip about the poor kid who had to takecare of his parents (said politely) and his younger brother

he was a bout 10! parents were not all there dont get me wrong they but should they really have kids just to use as slaves

and the little girl who phoned the help line saying she was bad cause santa never came to here and here parents (said lightly) were out getting *drunk*

surely we should be sorting out the parents (i know how i would sort them)

taking the kids away and giving them the life they deserve "*melon* the parents"

just gets me really angry that this goes on and all that happens is charities take the kids out for a day then put them back into the same *melon* for another year

sorry about the rant but i think it is soooooooooo wrong

these kids should be given a chance in life with a good home and loving families

rant over

l'm fully in support of charities and raising money etc. Raised £1500 for Cancer Research last year. But dear god does it make teaching hard work!! I confiscated several red noses yesterday because they were messing around with them during the lessons and then I got the whole "you're starving a kid in africa now"!!! And that was from year 9s!!!! Several of them were doing sponsered silences and had been given mini whiteboards to communicate with. First off this makes teaching near impossible especially when it turns out to be half of your class doing them! And then the teachers had been told that if the students were messing around with them we should take the boards off them, of course when I did that I got more hassle!

Would have been easier to cancel lessons for the day and just do fundraising things instead!!

I donated a couple of times through Radio 1

I probably will still will again too

The clips on the programs made me cry happens everytime they do it

I watched a bit off it but avoided catherine tate

I LOVED the Victorian dragons den Was so funny! And the England football bit, beckham

Watched a bit of the Robbie Williams bit as he is my favorite, but it freaked me out a bit

The older Robbie William gets, the more he looks like the amazing Norman Wisdom: -







And here's Robbie, sorry I meant Norman getting all groovy and psychedelic in his 1969 movie 'What's Good For The Goose': -

Either way, this film was on Sky a few weeks back and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even more so than the first time I watched it as a kid. I believe there were cuts made to the Sky showing and the currently available DVD copy and it involves him and a hippy chic (Sally from 'Bless This House') running naked into the sea at Southport.

But now poor old Norman is in a rest home for the elderly and after watching a TV program about him and his family, his daughter is a right nasty *woman of ill repute* who hated the fact her father received so much attention. But I think he's happy because he's got lots of people to entertain and so he's in front of an audience again.

Oh and the amazing soundtrack is from 'The Pretty Things' aka 'The Electric Banana' and I wish I could track this particular album down: -

He does not!!!!

*slams door*

I loooove Robbie! Was sooo mad about him in my teens!

Sorry Raz, Norman Wisdom is a national icon like the Mini and he's a damned sight funnier than Robbie Williams too.

I will have a look at him

but Robbie has a good sense of humor- must admit he has gone a bit weird now

but he is still the second most gorgeous man in the world!!
