Am I the only one who finds Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day anything but funny? Ever year it’s the same. Tired comedians, forced routines, embarrassing televised events. Just the thing to get me donating my hard earned cash to then, then? Nope.

Am totally with you. It's an unplatable truth but "charity" gigs tends to result in poor quality tosh and an "anything will do cos it's for a good cause" ethos. I'd much rather just be asked for my money and spared the sight of a load of desperate celebs slapping their own backs.
Nora - you're not alone in this. In fact, see here.
I once read that St Francis of Assisi said 'Charity vaunteth not itself'
Why don't the celebs just write a cheque, shut up and save us from the ordeal
