CHILDREN IN NEED!

[THE FLASH]

Does it get on your tits?

My chosen charity is Dorothy House Hospice who looked after my Uncle when he had cancer years ago. I also dip me hand in my pocket now and again for other causes including Children in Need. I just needed to get that out of the way before anybody thinks i am a tight prick who doesnt support charity.

However......

Every fucking year our TV and Radio is assaulted by this charity and it gets on my tits.

You cant watch a BBC programme or listen to a BBC radio station without it popping up somewhere, its like shit in a field.

That Terry Wogan treats his breakfast show as Pudsy FM.

The overpriced and laughable (how many other countries ave one??) TV License fee is IMO for the BBC to entertain, educate and inform , not stick the begging bowl out for weeks for a charity (however worthy a cause).

If the Charity push was being run by an independent channel (ITV, SKY etc) such as the old Telethon, then i would feel easier about it as of course the option is to turn over and/or off but this is the fucking BBC and i am paying for this shit!

It just gets on my nips ........and i had to tell someone about it!

Yes it does, but if they didn't give it the hard sell they wouldn't get as much cash. So I put up with it as in my opinion the ends does justify the means.

dont watch it then!

Its not as if there's anything good on a friday night anyway. Lighten up

[janaage]

I gets on my nerves too, but I tend to just go out and ignore the whole thing.  I don't mind Comic Relief as much, at least that's funny!  But Children in Need gets everywhere, works, shops, pubs, tv.

I don't like to feel pressured into giving.  My little Bolivian boy in erm Bolivia reaps the benefits of my contribution and that's good enough for me.

Tans,

Read it again............if it wasnt BBC and i wasnt paying for it ....then i would happily turn over.......but im am paying for it = right to gripe..

[Bogus Dave]

Why don't you moan about all the other shite on the bbc then? Same principle

And........looked at a bit strange if you say "Na, i'll give it a miss, thanks" when someone dressed as a chicken asks you for a few quid at work.

Not at all........ones man meat is another mans poison.

Katherine Tate is total shite IMO  but others love her to her bits....so BBC cover all tastes.

But a charity whip round is a principle issue! Should a publicly funded corp be doing this??

[Bogus Dave]

If a little bit of my license fee goes towards helping someone less fortunate, directly or indirectly, then i dont see the big issue.

[Fred Elliot]

I welcome it

it's only once a year FFS

Think of the children

I also think about the people dying of cancer at the Hospice i support........whats your point Fred?

[spacey]

I love it! There's nothing I like more than watching washed up former celebrities trying to revive their careers. Also the sight of big companies hijacking proceedings by having their logo emblazoned on oversized cheques representing money raised by their employees, fills me with joy.

[Fred Elliot]

My point is, that it's only once a year and money raised goes to the most vunerable members of our society.

For that point alone, irrespective of it being only once a year, it gets my heartfelt support
