Hey, hey hippie!

We all had a bit of fun in class today!  It was all for a good cause “BBC Children in Need”.  Each class was given a fancy dress theme and ours was “T.V & Movie Characters”.  I do not like fancy dress at all.

 

 

However, this year I dared to be different and dress as a hippie or as some thought, Neil from the British sitcom, “The Young Ones”.  I have posted pictures of my costume, as promised.

 

 

Other groups of students dressed up as punk rockers, cheerleaders and “Pokémon” characters.  Some even wore their pyjamas!  I will let you all know the total amount of money collected when I find out.

 

 

“BBC Children in Need” is a fund-raising extravaganza held every year in November.  It helps disadvantaged children to have a better life.  These include children who are chronically ill or profoundly disabled, those who've been badly treated by the adults around them, children who live in poverty or inadequate housing, and some who are bullied, excluded or distressed in the U.K.

 

 

Join Terry Wogan, Pudsey Bear and many other celebrities tonight on BBC 1 at 7p.m for lots of fun and frolics, all in the name of charity.  If you would like to learn some more about the Appeal or donate some money, click the link below:

 

Children in Need 2007

 

Following the footsteps of Take That and Led Zeppelin, the Spice Girls have reformed hoping to Spice up the Charts again!  Seven years on since the split, they look hotter than ever.  However, I am disappointed with their comeback, which is the official single of the CIN Appeal.  It seems weak compared to their previous songs.

 

 

How ironic the title of the song is “Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)”.  Maybe the ‘girls’ have been blinded by flashing dollar signs so much, they have forgotten about the arguments and bitchiness of yesteryear.

Hi Leigh, just wanted to let you know that I saw you on the new chat this morning.  I said hello but you must have gone.  Pretty good, I was chatting for about an hour.

Like the pic Leigh but John Lennon never had his hair that long; about half that length at the most, but it looks okay all the same.
