A little Comic Relief

The annual or bi-annual charity appeals are always fun, but also somewhat predictible as to what we'll end up seeing.  So, whilst I urge you to donate,  you can also have a bit of fun whilst watching.

So here's the rules of the drinking game we're playing by:


The rules are simple:
Define your own measure,  be it a shot,  finger's width or even a whole glass.

One Measure
- A disease is mentioned
- An African Child is seen with a fly on its face
- Every time a celebrity does something 'exciting'
- A giant cheque is produced
- A celebrity holds an African child
- A celebrity crys
- The Phone Number is read out
- Man dressed as a woman, or a woman dressed as a man

Two Measures
- The total so far is read out
- We see the phone call takers up BT Tower
- When the guest presenters change
- When the presenters look confused because they don't know what they're going to next
- If we're shown a picture of BBC TV Centre

Three Measures
- When the presenter runs his/her fingers along the screen as the number is read out.
- When someone mouths the number at the back of shot
- When someone makes the 'phone call' symbol
- News Presenters doing something 'wacky'
- When an African child is made to wear a red-nose

Four Measures
- Wogan or Pudsey Appears

Penalties:
Penalties require a CR donation
- Spillage - £1
- Fall Over - £1
- Vomit - £5
- Pass-out - Whatever you can shake out of their wallet/purse.

Remember Kids, Drink Responsibly,  as little African Kids often can't.   Give Generously!

Sugru - A Brief Update

I just wanted to provide a brief update on my thoughts of Sugru.  Its a wonderful product, ideal for fixing and personalising things.  However,  the biggest bugbear of all is the shelf-life.

Unlike duck/duct tape,  superglue,  epoxy resin, putty  and other more commonly known fixing materials and methodologies,  Sugru 'sets' after about 6 months,  whether you've opened it or not.  This means that one of the big bags I had became useless as I wasn't able to use the sachets before they'd all set.

And because Sugru isn't available in most shops,  you can't just pop and get some more - you have to wait for the postman to bring it for you.  This is fine if you have a non-urgent fix, but when you need to do something straight away,  you either have to ensure you have some fresh Sugru in,  or find an alternative option.  Its often the latter.  So reader beware!

One final point,  Sugru reckon if you keep it in the fridge, it will keep for 18 months;  I'll have to pick some up and try it.
