I'm more attracted to Comedy Relief than Children In Need, I don't know why really, maybe just because I need to laugh as well as cry, (there can be a lot of v dark and 'inappropriate' humour with those who do the doing, survival mechanism?)

I can only speak from my own knowledge Supes and I've got to say it's sheer bloodymindedness that mercifully kicks in.  A lightbulb moment; you realise that it's sink or swim despite being away from the abuser. 

It's a bit like the mouse that roared type of thing; protect and save the cubs.

I'll chat about it more any time you want but for now I've got to hit the hay.

I'm meant to be getting my hair done at 10am tomorrow   That in itself will make the story of Lazarus seem like a piece of cake

Goodnight all in here.  Been nice chatting with you all

I still would For one night and one night only

Cos I know that you've been there, thankfully, I never have. Just saying that people's attitudes are generally on the turn, not least of all those of the police. i remember so many woman 10 years + ago who would never acknowledge what was happening mainly for fear that they would lose their children. That really has changed. ION, I have a good friend who runs a woman's refuge who is really struggling for funding......get texting that number

I was comic relief on Friday, may have spoken to some of you 

were you answering the phone when people called in to donate?.

I was indeed... all night 

was it exciting ?

Did you meet any stars ?

Spill the gossip

no stars but the atmosphere was great and they force fed us junk all night .......

 Being forced feed must have been awful

truly awful but i endured it for charity 

When I saw this thread at the top I thought "bloomin hell - not another night of third rate comedy", but soon realised you were all still discussing last Friday's show.
