The name of today’s event may make you think of Lenny Henry having a quick tug in a BBC broom cupboard (with or without Gordon the Gopher – it is up to you), but today is a very important day. Very important.

It is my penultimate day of snowboarding!! (edit: or would have been if I hadn’t dislocated my shoulder on Wednesday)

Also, some do-gooders are doing some charity thing on TV, but I am in France so will not be able to see it. It think it is a good idea, as it combines two of my favourite things, laughing, and people less fortunate than me. If you can’t have a good laugh at the expense of people less fortunate than yourself, then what else is there?

I will be getting in the spirit of things by, err, snowboarding drinking and that, whilst the rest of your are laughing heartily at all poor people on the TV. I will be there, laughing with you in spirit, I promise.

Talking of getting into the spirit of it, Mike over at Troubled Diva had an excellent idea about a week ago, and has put together a book of funny things from off of the Blogonetosphere. All in the space of just one week! All profits are going to Comic relief, so I urge you to all go over there and buy a copy. It is for a good cause.

I might have something in the book, unless it has been cut during the editing process (highly likely), so I suggest you go and buy it. After all, if you don’t buy it, less money will be raised, and in two years time they might not think it is worth doing another one. Then where will we be? Watching re-runs of My Family is nowhere near as good as giggling at the under-privileged.

So go and buy the book, and make sure that we can all feel better about ourselves for at least one night in two years time!

Go.

Now!!

UPDATE: The book is available here: Shaggy Blog Stories – a collection of amusing tales from the UK Blogosphere.

I am entry number 66, which essentially means I have been given 65 warm acts, and 34 warm-down acts for those who don’t have to catch the last bus home and have nothing better to do.
