I can provide a copy of the invoice if you want.

Is it the one for unit testing at Silentnight?

[eek]

Was it cash in hand or figment of the imagination?

When terry Wigan got in the press a couple of years back regarding being paid for children in Need the bbc argument was that they would have paid to produce program's either way so they were happy to pay performers to appear.

When we did the gig I wasn't expecting to get paid, six of us in the band at £900 each (£450 per song performed live to the whole network), when the cheque arrived I thought it was just another royalty payment and didn't find out until later it was for CiN. Every performer and host throughout the BBC network that day got paid.

Suity was doing 1 days consultancy for £1700. Now pay up.

WHS, but I donated what Suity earned that day.

Many years when Eddie Waring did a performance in Poole. His fee came out of the charity donations which resulted in a loss. There was a big fuss about it at the time and the old git died shortly afterwards.

Are you suggesting there was a link?

I did a live gig on telly for Children in Need with lots of other name bands and great fun it was (what a party afterwards).

Three months later I got a cheque from the Beeb for £900 for the two live performances, go figure.

Fook it

[bless 'em all]

Can't bear it.

Just don't like being press ganged into it.

Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be reminded that we're extremely lucky.

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

Can't bear it. Never have been able to.

Big sleb backslapping love in.

I do give to charity though. Just don't like being press ganged into it.

Not so funny yet...

I found the bit about the little kid dying of tetanus just side-splitting.

So funny I couldn't help but donate what I earned today.
