www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/news/freecontent/articles/2012/03/29/426315-thinking-pink-for-sport-relief/#Don't all shout at me at once but I wish the BBC would take Sport Relief; Children in Need and Comic relief and shove them right up their beautifully designed ring down in the White City. I am heartily sick of the constant procession of millionaire and multimillionaire so-called celebrities enjoining us all to give generously to their little (probably not so little) charity funds. I'd love to see that gonad, David Walliams opening his own wallet and giving of his stash rather than depressing us all with scenes of him dodging shite and dugs in the Thames! We get it Walliams, you are a talentless attention seeker. I get really, really angry when the BBC uses my money to provide convenient and rather uncharitably well-paid jobs to second rate presenters and publicity hungry celebrities. If they are all as concerned about world poverty, children and God knows what else, why don't they share some of their wealth rather than trying to make us, 'give it till it hurts'. Self-seeking bastards the lot of them. And here we have Willie Armstrong getting his 15 minutes of fame. Why did he feel he had to dress up as a well-known Labour activist just to make people give him money? Sorry Willie, you're an complete eejit, take your Sainsbury advert away and behave like and adult. Is that we boy getting counselling? I think after his encounter with weirdie Willie, he needs to.

You know Linda, I have always wondered about that too. Mind you, I bet it's all credit card details upfront now. Here's hoping this year's Children in Need is a dismal failure. Why don't they broadcast it from Manchester?

never watch it and the hospice has dropped the price of paperbacks from 2 for a pound to 4 for a pound in kilblain st.......................people power or what, that wee shop used to do a roaring trade now it is nearly always empty.
Charity begins at home.

I met her once at some function or other and I really had to stifle the urge to hit her with a spoon.
