Wadda you think of the show? For me I'm OK with the need for charity and give willingly but the dreadful TV show full of sickening self promotion sandwiched with sickening need is just shocking...

Fed up with constantly hearing about it all fookin week

Fed up with hearing about idiots with more money than sence paying for stupid things.

Like the guy on the Wogan radio show who bid £100,000 for 45 mins with Mark Knopfler.

45 fookin Mins.

fooking obscene.

And I don't agree with all that passes as a good cause that they fund.


So it short

Baaah Humbug!

Is there something wrong with Fiona Bruce in fishnets? The rest of it can go hang, but I'm waiting to see the Abba-esque number this year! cloud9

How many people didn't uncheck the "loving it" box when voting for one of the other options? I only just noticed.....

like comic relief I dont need to know other people have it worse off than me. I'll chuck money in the pot at work thats it. Why does it have to take such a prime TV slot when all they do is stty little acts about as entertaining as catching anal warts?

Some people are worse off
Some people are better off

my life is neither better or worse for knowing that fact

I gave, I think the work they do is good, particularly that focused towards the siblings of disabled kids and the like, who can get forgotten.

No
45 mins of playing guitar, talking and when you leave you get a load of signed LPs.

For 100K I would need more

There isn't an option that says "I'm ambivalent but it's Friday night, I'm sat with the bloke I love, have a bottle of red wine and don't have to get up at 5.30 tomorrow morning and it's reasonably diverting as long as I don't have to watch it more than once a year".
