It's probably very bad form to slag off Children In Need on a BBC website, but I've never been one to stand on ceremony. 
I will say only this: out of the entire population of Scotland, can it really be the case that the best person they could get to host the Scottish opt-outs was David Sneddon?

Bring back the days when the North West opt outs were done by Stuart Hall in a green and yellow stripy jumper.

I did notice the served almost give up the ghost again an hour or so ago...
Aaaah, David Sneddon 
Be thankful you're not in Stoke on Trent (I am!)

Stuart Hall is way out of our league, I'm afraid... Times must be hard in BBC Scotland - they can't even stretch to Dougie Vipond this year. 
There's a great track on the Richard X album which includes the rhyming couplet "Armageddon/David Sneddon", hence the title of the journal entry...

I think you're lucky. The Welsh opt-outs are 'specially' extended so that I miss the interesting bits - to whit Celebrity Bargain Hunt and Dr Who Weakest Link. Oh, and we get the dubious honour of watching the 'Fast Food Rockers' play live from Cardiff.

I suppose the idea is you phone in and pledge money to make them stop?

I'm sure that must contravene some human rights regulations.

It's the kind of thing Kev would do - he's the body-building, salsa dance-teaching, Elvis impersonator I work with

Is he playing what? Tim Henman? Hide and seek? Trombone?

Well... I don't think he's on the Scottish bits, anyway...
