Red Nose Day charity stunt – suggestions on a postcard

by | Fri 23 Feb 2007

I like charity stuff. Previously I have taken part in various charity events, the most recent being the [shaving off of the beard for Amnesty International](https://www.flickr.com/photos/26021274@N00/213960395/in/photostream/) at LUGRadio Live 2006.

On March 16th it is [Red Nose Day](https://www.rednoseday.com/) and I want to do something fun for the event. I don’t exactly want to sit in a bathtub of beans like seems to happen every year, but I am keen to do something interesting that will raise lots of wonga for the cause.

So, I am looking for your suggestions. What would you suggest I could do for Red Nose Day. While I obviously encourage the sublime and ridiculous suggestions (this is what this blog is all about), I am looking for things that I can actually do. Of course, if this makes me look like an ass that can be a benefit for you all.

So, use that comment box wisely and give me your suggestions for something to do. 🙂
