A work colleague is in a brass band and their bookings go up through the roof on this night as everyone tries to avoid watching TV!

Here at work we're in the middle of a sponsored Dress Down Friday. Nothing remarkable about that, we have a Dress Down Friday every Friday so what's the big deal?, but this one is declared to be a 'special' and you're supposed to pay for it! Normally I don't do DDF, I wear the same sort of clothes every day at work, but this time I opted to come in in mufti and drop a couple of one's in the tin. Eases my conscience a bit.
I think cross-dressing Fridays would be more interesting
Just turned the radio off at work 'cause all that children in need 'fun' was doing my head in.

Blackmail only works if you give in to it. You can choose to ignore it. Meanwhile, even if it is blackmail, it gets a lot of folk who otherwise wouldn't bother, to give a little of their extraneous cash to a good cause...
I'm afraid, unfashionable as it probably is, I like seeing TV people like the newsreaders, Eastenders, etc doing stuff that's different and a bit fun, so I'll probably have it on all evening. Except at 10, when I'll turn over for the Children in Need special QI.

I think it's great, you don't have to participate, it raises around £30 million for good childrens causes across the nation.
I fail to see how that can be a bad thing?
Sometimes we need our consciences pricked to realise how fortunate we are compared to the lot of others.
Good on the BBC.
Good on those that have made some amazing bids on the Wogan show in the morning, good on those who are doing something to improve the life of another.
Restores some of my faith in human nature, even if it is for 1 night only.

In our house we make an evening of it...get in some food etc watch it all night and we donate via the telphone credit card thing...it is a worthwhile cause and one to be supported.
