Only the first one was worth a look.

I've never watched Children in Need. Like, I've never even been channel-hopping and discovered it was on. I always seem to remain blissfully ignorant of exactly when it's happening too - the last few years, I've just noticed they've got the one-eyed bear merchandise in the supermarkets, so I knew it was coming at some point, but not exactly when. Do they do a really poor job of advertising the exact date, or is my superpower managing to avoid this?

Also, is it any good? Have I missed decades of quality programming?

It and Red nose Day had its moments in the early days, my pal was actually on it this year and his 3 mins were good.

I wouldn't go out your way to watch the whole thing, I get fucked off that some basic things like schools with people with special educational needs are funded by people's generosity and don't have a blank cheque from the government.

But it helps that the p***k who was on Radio 2 has snuffed it and is no longer taking a fee, can't remember his name.

I think you mean Terry Wogan. He was paid an annual fee by the BBC of about 9k for CiN, but donated it (and more) straight to the charity every year.

Oh nice one thanks for correcting me. Just as well you can't defame the dead

It's a fairly common belief I think.

IIRC it came out in a FOI request that he had been paid a minimal inflation adjusted fee since he presented the first one, and that he had never renegotiated that contract. He probably could have, and avoided the shite, but I suppose equally it guaranteed another 9k going to the charity

Yeh I'm sure it was an FOI it might even have been published after he died or not long before he died hence the reason it sticks if he didn't have time to explain.

Thanks, now my eyes are watering and i can't stop wincing at the thought of my calcified tendons ripping one fibre at a time. It's not quite as bad as the post someone made about a bellend papercut but it's close.

"Bellend Papercut" is a phrase that should be on the big list of unacceptable phrases, along with "Perineal Tearing", "Toddler V****a", and Semprini.

Edit: none of these would look out of place on the tracklist of a Cannibal Corpse album, possibly put together in a complete sentence.

An hilarious Monty Python reference.

As funny today as it ever was.

Watch an entire episode of Coronation Street.

I've never bought a lottery ticket. I kept meaning to when it first started, but never got around to it, and it very quickly began to feel like a pointless waste of money. Sort of borne out by the fact that my mother has bought them for about a quarter of a century now and never had more than two numbers.

I have, however, sold them. Primarily to folk who were clearly potless.

Bellend Papercut? Heard them on John Peel one night

Who would have thought an electronic acid jazz Highland dancing fusion band would have been so .... pish.
