Red Nose Day 2009 is coming to a classroom near you...
So get ready to teach your kids really important things - like how many comedians it takes to change a lightbulb. And other (genuinely) important stuff!
Bob here is another of our keen young fundraisers. When he’s not dressing up as a robot, Bob loves playing football and says his favourite comedian is Bart Simpson. He’s just returned from celebrating his 10th Birthday in New York, where his Dad was running the NY Marathon. Bob’s obviously a chip off the old block because he’s taking on a marathon task himself to raise money for Red Nose Day. He’s getting sponsored to swim thirty lengths. Nice work, Bob and Happy Birthday!
It may only be a few days since Barack Obama won the US Presidential election, but he’s not wasting any time getting down to the important issues of the day. He’s already been spotted on the BBC website, sporting a Red Nose. Now that gets our vote - the President Elect setting a shining example. We’re now hoping that other world leaders will follow suit and don their Red Noses too.
Good news this week for anyone wanting to eat something funny for money for Red Nose Day 2009. Bent cucumbers and other wonky fruit and vegetables are to be allowed back into our shops, thanks to the scrapping of an EU ban on selling misshapes. ‘This is a happy day indeed for the curvy cucumber, the knobbly carrot and other amusingly shaped fruits and vegetables,’ said European Commission spokesman, Michael Mann. And we couldn’t agree more. Knobbly carrot cake, curvy cucumber sarnies and bent banana splits here we come!
