The show that takes my precious eastenders away from me NOT what it stands for.
The whole terry Wogan/gabby roslin thing makes me want to rip my eyes out ..
I don't need to watch a bunch of non slebs doing shit to know what's happening in the world.
However I do give a good wedge every year... I'm not a total fucker!

YANBU - a great cause of course but I would happily donate just to get the so-called 'celebrities' off my TV! Can't help thinking they are all there to self-promote. Don't even get me started on the utterly embarrassing newsreader dance routines...

Alisvolatpropiis · 16/11/2012 20:41

How long has Fearne "Wildly Irritating" Cotton been doing it and where has Gaby gone?

OpheliaPayneAgain · 16/11/2012 20:42

It pleads on peoples conscience ... do away with the lic fee and we wouldnt have to suffer it.

Im not suffering it because I have a working remote control that switches channel

Hard faced I pay enough in tax for foreign aid. Contraception and education would be more worthwhile.

My dislike of it has a huge amount to do with that stupid bear. Don't know why I don't like it, but I don't.

Smeeeinit · 16/11/2012 20:44

Even more pleased I don't watch if Fearne does it now.... Her voice goes right through me.

i agree! i hate the cringemaking self-congratulatory smugness of the participants. i hate the fact it monopolises an entire tv and radio channel. i hate the sycophantic nature of it all. i hate the fact that it is the same slebs, doing the same rubbish every year.

I'm another hater so you are not on your own. I think the support groups should be properly funded in the first place and I get sick of the media coveridge. I have never given money on that particular day on principle but I give money at other times and do voluntary work so I'm not a bad person am I?

Smeeeinit · 16/11/2012 20:45

Good point euph

What a relief that others feel the same! Have suffered guilt pangs over this Grin.

Thankfully my favourite Corrie isn't affected.

Ileithyia · 16/11/2012 20:47

I hate it, I hate all Beg-a-thons. If those schlebs want to get together and give raise a chunk of cash and raise awareness of these charities and so on, thats fine, but the constant "give us more of your money" drives me up the wall.

butisthismyname · 16/11/2012 20:47

Oh god, totally agree re: the Chris Evans auction thing. Sickening Angry

Smeeeinit · 16/11/2012 20:47

Ah, c'mon. It's El Tel and Fearne. Doin good stuff for charidee. Stop being a grump Grin

kenanddreary · 16/11/2012 20:49

Mynew - no you are most definitely not a bad person!

I often think that if the slebs each gave a fraction of their huge salaries then it would cover the donations anyway.

Primafacie · 16/11/2012 20:50

YANBU. But why stop there? I also detest the homeless, refugees, rape victims, and the poor generally.

OnlyWantsOne · 16/11/2012 20:51

Why the FUCK are girls fucking aloud singing?'

Onebadbackandalostpelvicfloor · 16/11/2012 20:51

I hate it. Half the 'needy' aren't even what I'd class as in need.
