7 Weeks Until Christmas

You heard me! You can always tell Christmas is near because the Children In Need television 'extravaganza' takes place. Children In Need raises a staggering amount of money every year which is brilliant but I do find the TV show they transmit on the Friday night staggeringly dull. With this in mind and remembering that the participating celebrity entertainers are the ones with the millions, shouldn't the general public make the TV show and the celebrity entertainers sit at home and ring in to donate their cash. Wogan & Ross could slap a couple of million in to get the ball rolling. What about Cliff Richard!? He is loaded and is getting on a bit - he wouldn't miss a million pounds. Howabout Bono!? Surely he could pop a million in the kitty and a couple of pairs of his sunglasses. Madonna?! Simon Cowell?! C'mon people from showbiz-land, flash your cash!
