[Ramble]

If you don't live in the UK its unlikely that you would have heard of it.

Nevertheless its one of the biggest and best charitable events in the year for us UK'ians.

[Lee G. Veteran]

Basically it's some stupid day with media coverage where people act like fools for the sake of charity and just another way to force people to give to charity.

There are too many of these charity events now.

[garrystringer]

omg

how heartless can you be

ideas like this are always good especially if it is giving to charity!!!

i no it can be annoying sometimes but it is giving to charity that isn't a nice thing to say

o and it isn't stupid it is cool

[Shibby]

charity is anoying but hey at least people benifit for it.

me myself i will probley buy the red nose tshirt. i brought the shirt and nose last year. tshirt i like, after some time a good tshirt to bomb about in when wanting to get mucky.

plus the tv can be good, only on saturday there was comic aid for the tsunami, it had 3,000 people turn up for the event, had something like 10 comedians and raised 500k by the one event. was 10/10 i loved it, i also brought the best comedy dvd in the world that was for the tusnami.

a few months ago my dad did a classic bike run for a local chairty that was raising money for cancer.

[xmr]

We're arranging a few events as part of RAG for my uni (Raise And Give, basically we do pub crawls and collect money for 5 uni charities from drunk students).

There's gonna be a sponsored run around the city's common and also someone is going to fill a bath tub with beans and sit it to raise money.

I remember in the first year one guy had his head shaved for it too. It's normally a good laugh and you get people doing some stupid things to raise money. All for good causes (Y)

You're right, we have a lot of poverty already in the U.K (yes I know some of the money raised from this event goes to help a London child and other children related charities) I just get sick of seeing poor African countries receiving aid and the leaders driving around in Roll's Royce's and having many Palaces and Villa's around the World.

Maybe Messers Blair and Bush should think about dealing with these leaders before blowing the balls out of Iraq.

Lack of natural resources to pay back the debt owed for "bringing freedom to their oppressed nations" would probably halt the invasions.

[ConfusedFusion]

well, we have red nose day in Auz as well http://www.rednoseday.com.au/

Yep, Black Gold, Texas T, or whatever it's slang is for OIL.

I just hope Bush don't invade Scotland for North Sea Oil and Gas !

The solution is not wiping out debt, deposing corrupt leaders or anything of the sort. The solution is based around the variable exchange rate scheme, whereby poorer countries are at the wrong end of the sliding scale.

Without this being resolved, all the money in the world won't help, because the situation will recurr within a nuber of years, guaranteed!

I don't mean to be a heartless scrooge as I'm not. I'm happy to give to charity and I do give to charity, I just don't want to be forced to give to charity through the media etc. It's only my opinion but this TV charity business was alright in the 80s and 90s but now I find it plain boring.

And a leesmithg said, we have problems in the UK, there's mass poverty here. I believe we should be helping our own country as well as Africa etc. Anyway, we've all just donated a hell of a lot of money to the tsunami, now it's red nose day, it's one charity event after another.
