I'm quite happy with my television, thank you. Right now, Children in Need is on. It's telethon run annually on the BBC in which the television actors (from all four terrestrial television channels) and various people get together to sing, proform and dance to raise money for children across the UK who might be in a spot of bother. That sounds boring, but it is a national event and it's effects are greater felt than those of Hallowe'en. Across the entire country, people are sponsered to do silly things, such as have their legs waxed, or sit in a bath of beans for an hour. Especially popular is getting sponcered to dress up: today, I've seen Father Christmas, Witches, Faries, Cowboys, Bugs Bunny, Pudsey (the yellow bear mascot of CiN), chefs, indians, Peter Pan, hobbits and many more. What is suprising is the number of chaps who seem to pour out of the woodwork each year dressed as women. We love it.
So far,
So far,
