Charley vs Red Nose Day

Here in Merrie Olde England, we have a yearly charity event called Comic Relief - otherwise known as Red Nose Day. The basic principle is that people - famous, infamous, or otherwise - do "something funny for money" to raise money to help needy and vulnerable people in the UK. Some really fantastic initiatives have been supported through the years - and that goes without mentioning the hilarity that ensues from the things people do. From the ever-admirable mountain climbing to covering oneself in honey and feathers, everybody chips in to raise money via the ever-popular mode of self-humiliation.

Luckily for me, all I had to do was bring in edible matter for a whole-school afternoon-tea.

I don't think you can get much more quintissentially British than that.

That said, you've probably guessed by now that I love making people happy - or, more specifically, making them laugh.

Which is exactly why I'm showing you these; my interactions with one of the eponymous Red Noses.


CHARLEY VS NOSE




They are a lot weirder up close than you'd think. Seriously.



Look a bit weird when you put them on, too. See?



They're also rather uncomfortable. Any by "rather", I mean "VERY".



Furthermoe, if your nose is longer than that which they used to mould the noses (assuming they used a mould, rather than just whacking them with a carving knife) they're also more than slightly tricky to get on.



Note: attempts to wear one's Red Nose may also result in you knocking your water bottle over just as you go to take a picture. 
Totally not what happened here by the way. 
Not at all.



FINAL VERDICT:
NOSE: 1
CHARLEY: 0

Happy weekend, everybody!
