Am I out of order thinking I've seen and heard this story too many times? Bloody horrendous, but I worry that we see Tina so much that it makes her story sound unusual or as if it only matters when the resultant physical injuries are so debilitating and obvious?
Just read the comments from 3 of the women who I most love on here. Sometimes I love being wrong
I've never seen Tina before, Supes 
Nor me soops. 
And coming on the back of the horrendous manslaughter charges of 6 children by their two parents case going on atm there is nothing too much we can do to change that type of abuse.
edit to explain. What I mean is we can never do too much to prevent this type of crime.

You're not wrong per se, Supes.
Domestic stuff isn't always 'evident' like poor Tina's injuries. Talking about having punch up's, barneys, spats - copping a clout etc., sort of do become something we all hear about but don't necessarily witness 1st hand.
I suppose it's because the snidey shitehawk's who inflict it are usually gutless enough to hide the evidence of their physical brutality.
There's nothing like a bit of humilation and the feeling of lost dignity to make a woman hide the evidence either. Sounds mad, but it's true.

Too right Cos. I personally know two women who were emotionally and, subsequently, physically abused. Thankfully they both removed themselves from the danger but the effects on the children they took with them is painful to see.
Quote of the night to the woman had 25 dates in 25 hours. 'what you have done for Comic Relief is, for me, what i call Tuesday' I love Russell.
We dipped in and out of it. Apart from the very moving footage of children suffering and dying all I remember now was the speech by the actor from Gavin and Stacey, James Cordon - some truths in that - and Dynamo teleporting from one place to another. It's great though that even in hard financial times an incredible amount of money has been raised so far, hopefully enough that there'll never be a shortage again of vaccines for malaria and tetanus etc and mosquito nets, well I can hope.
Unfortunately, think we'll still be watching the same heartbreaking stories for the rest of our lifetime at least, fact is though we may be able to change just one life with less than I spent in Sainsburys tonight for the weekends shopping
Yes probably, it's hard to understand that with all the money raised on various shows like tonight, and the money raised by charity org's either by donation or through all the different adverts we see every day there's never enough money to solve the problems and yet we're told how cheap it is to provide what's needed.
Economics and international politics have never been my strong suit Yellow, but I do know that you can't eat an elephant in one bite, or take on corrupt regimes with charitable donations. No doubt there are others who will have more strategic solutions, but, for simple souls like me, we have to try and do our bit and get the resources where they're needed and direct to the people, (so,closer to home, don't give a damn penny of your hard earned cash to the bloody NSPCC!)
Russell is the best bit of the night by a MILE 
Xochi, am not ignoring your post. Understand exactly what you are saying; the hardest part is always getting the kids to an emotionally comfortable state. Not easy to lead by example when you're feeling completely and utterly broken yourself.

Yep, he is a league better than all the others Cos. And forget the other stuff. Another discussion for another time. 
Waxing: "Don't care that much about malaria" 
They should have put Russell on SO much earlier than this.

Shock, horror, someones opinion was changed rather than entrenched from listening to people on a social networking platform.....get that on the front page

He just makes me laugh out loud - loving his banter with these Essex university ones. I thought this was supposed to finish at 1.30? I'm not complaining, but I AM sleepy...

No, not really But he's funnier than anyone else and I like his grubby halo attitude.

That was kinda what i was trying to say, the only time, (for some,) that they take notice, have any sympathy and stop blaming the victim is when they can 'see' something like Tina's loss of sight or that someone has died. What about all of those who have just died inside?
ÂĢ75 million. go the GBP

that's three times as much as Children in Need raised last year. They're doing something right.

My bubs did a sponsored silence at school today, bless her.
You have no idea how hard that will have been for her

LOL - well done, Bubs! We were visited by an office services company who share our building today - all dressed in jim jams, make up and wigs. The best bit was the young lad who works in reception and is the shyest receptionist going.... I've hardly heard him say a word but he was there in red jammies and big comedy baffies. I feel the three older women he works with may have bullied him a bit

I reckon its that they actually focussed on making comedy and not promoting bands albums as they used to do. But the GBP are doing it, despite our hard times.

I think I'll go to bed before you get to James Corden....
Night ladies - I've enjoyed the last couple of hours.
Ooh, ever since the Green Room (was it called that? with Harriet Walter and that other thing - as a newspaper editor), Bill Nighy - oh yesssssssssss.

I never watched the Green Room - but thank you for making me feel less weird

Not a mention of a tour, a dvd or new show; and all the better for it

How could you ever doubt yourself about Nighy love! I blame his sexy voice mostly.
As in this hopeless interview. He was the pro and the interviewers were clearly the amateurs.

Thankfully Cosi, that is something that, in my experience, has changed q significantly of late, not enough, but moving in the right direction: the point when the message finally starts to got across that children are being abused by witnessing domestic abuse and that isn't the victim's fault that they can't protect them, when they're being abused themselves.
I've recorded TBEMH and am saving it for one of my epic wigwam days (me, tea and a glorious slob-fest in bed). Great looking cast
Definitely the pro there, Xochi
