CHILDREN IN NEED

CarylB · 21 Nov 2003, 16:49

Meat had intended to record wto songs this afternoon in Glasgow that would be shown on Children in Need tonight.

How about anyone who is making a donation tonight saying when they phone in that they are doing this as a Meat LOaf fan who knows he will disappointed that because he is ill he was not able to record the songs, and that we're all hoping he'll be well again soon. They do show mesages running across the bottom of the screen .. let ours be Get Well Soon Meat Loaf!

And if enough of us do this perhaps they'll send a get well message over the air during the programme as well?

The donate telephone number is:

0845 733 2233

Sounds like a great idea Caryl

Jayd · 21 Nov 2003, 18:14

I was looking forward to seeing Meat tonight, the TV magazine said he was on about Midnight, but I am up for doing this. Thanx for the number and it is a great idea.

ChoccyBat · 21 Nov 2003, 18:53

Brilliant idea.

amethyst · 21 Nov 2003, 19:53

What a fantastic idea ~ grinssss.... wonder how many times we can get his name on the bottom of the screen.

Yes .. well I thought it was .. but phoning tonight I spoke to a most unhelpful person who said all messages had been decided days ago, and even when I said I'd give them £300 if they said Get Well Meat Loaf .. was told "we don't do that" .. so stuff them!

Always in the past they have donethings they say are because someone offered them a donation if they said this or that .. very disappointing

However .. there is an on-line Children in Need chat tonight at 8pm .. and you can submit a question on:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/communicate/com...ldrelive.shtml

So perhaps we could all submit a request that they say Get Well Meat Loaf to the man who would have supported them tonight had he not been in hospital, and that we'll make a donation if they'll say this tonight

Kev · 21 Nov 2003, 21:22

yeah, i got the same, so f*ck them!

CarylB · 21 Nov 2003, 21:46

My first thought .. but I've submitted a request via the chatroom page .. and if enough of us do perhaps we'll succeed .. then I will give them a donation :)

Lauren,

I have also e mailed a request for a get well soon message.

Have also donated money as well as is such a good cause.

Thanks for info!

Chris · 21 Nov 2003, 23:37

The messages across the screen are pre-set because they are different for every TV area!! That way they show local groups!

AWESOME!!!

Meat or no Meat, it is always a good thing to lend financial support whenever you can if the charity is on the up and up.

ROCK ON GOOD DEEDS!!!

And we now have our 2004 Meat Loaf calendar available on site for downloading with a link to Children in Need for voluntary donations, as well as links to Great Ormand Street Children's Hospital, and for those who prefer to donate to chraities in the USA, two links to children's charities there.

kaz · 24 Nov 2003, 16:11

ohhh, meat loaf calander!
where is it?- i'm being slow!

needmoremeat · 24 Nov 2003, 21:17

Oooh! Calendar

Where

You know what I would have loved to see if Meat had been on CIN? Him punching Ronan Keating in the face

After the whole No Matter What scenario I've always wanted to see that! He could have just said it was for charity! No one would want to argue with him, either!

angel eyes · 26 Nov 2003, 04:04

Did anyone else catch the "condensed shakepeare company's" sketch on children in need. It had obviously been wriiten before Meat had to cancel. It appears that he was going to offer a lunch date in L.A. with him to someone bidding in that hour he was going to be on. The phones would have been bouncing!!!!!

Never mind - there's always next year!!!

Love

Angelxxx
