I'm sure it was excellent... especially the 'guilt' sequences where they show film of malnourished children with their limbs missing like - I bet you laughed like a drain...  noooo:

...to the detriment of a lot of hard working folk struggling to manage to keep afloat

I don't understand what you're getting at here.

Certainly Wogan should never have asked for or been paid a fee but it probably doesn't rob other charities of donations. My feeling is that it taps those who don't normally give.

Off to watch the QI special now.

I was talking about a lot of smaller charities whose takings have declined because of the muscle that the big boys can put behind such things as these TV marathons. In total it is reckoned that we, as a nation, give roughly the same amount to charity per capita as we always have but the big ones are soaking it all up and the little fish are slowly going under. Please don't ask for a source as I read this somewhere (hospital waiting room magazine I think) and it rang true. When I was involved with Children in Need I sank all my effort into it. When I stopped (mainly because of Wogan's greed) I found I still gave the same amount to charity over the year but I spread it around more and was more selective as to the causes I was supporting. I also became more interested in how the money was spent.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I'll let you have a response as soon as Bletchley Park tell me what you said.

I am not grumpy ~ what is it with some wimmin that the minute you say something contrary to their opinion you are classed as Grumpy?

I've divorced wimmin for less. How very dare she assume that she knows what is in my mind. evil:

Actually I am perfectly happy, working away at the magazine and am well pleased at being ahead of schedule.

Come on TG ~ we are friends ~ give me the code and I'll work it out for myself ~ is it a transposition of numbers for letters or more complex than that?

It is cunning. So cunning even you will not be able to work it out. On the other hand, if you should work it out will you please let me know the secret.

I will pay you.  rubschin:
