    I wonder who he is on CUK?

      Ha! Fake. The real TOGmeister is on 7 to 9, Monday to Saturday on the Light Programme.
      Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

          A child in need is a child indeed

            Why can't a find a "get a life, online" web site?

            Somebody, somewhere MUST have done a parody e-commerce site where you can order a life for yourself online. The idea being you can provide the link to sad people - like me - for humour purposes.

            C'mon, you talented and underemployed people, get on with it. Get one written. Don't forget to send me the link so I can make use of it.

              The TOGs would understand.

                Being a tad cynical I do wonder what the money donated actually acheives. Recently we heard that all the money donated to Africa is dwarfed by the money Africa spends on its wars. One would doubt if these pots are entirely separate.

                The reality is that (children in need) = (children of failed cultures and failing parents). Does the money make a real difference or does it just make us feel good to help cute little kids? I would like to see a little less sentiment and a little more independent research that shows the money really makes a difference.

                  Self-delusional sense of trying to do something about the problem.

                    Just out of interest, did anyone from CUK donate anything to Children In Need?

                    I know I didn't - I have a few select charities that I donate money to, and that isn't one of them.

                      Let me guess - your charities start at home?
