Good
morning <Demo - Name>
Red Nose Day today, so make a donation to a good cause, doesn't
have to be Red Nose, a local charity if you prefer.
When contacted last
week by the BBC to ask for help with their BIG Red Sofa day out I contacted a
Berkshire charity and asked if they would like to get involved. They felt it
was a conflict of interest!!!
Surely charity is about team work and
bringing people together, rather like we do at Business in Berkshire. We've
helped connect BBC Radio Berkshire with
Verbatim, who were on air at around 9am. After Vodaphone
they're going to
Business Link in Theale. We had made some other connections
but Cheltenham proved too stong a pull for our boys at
Windsor Vehicle Leasing! Not heard Business in Berkshire
mentioned yet... I'd better give them a bell and offer some relevant content. I
have a better idea, you guys can get involved, call 0845 900 1041 and
get yourself on BBC Radio Berkshire today... and don't forget to tell
them who told you!
Go check out my campaign to raise funds for
Thames
Hospicecare. I've raised £350 and would like to see that go over
£500 before the end of the month. To help it on it's way see
Offer of the Week.
Enjoy today's news and ensure you
have some red nose fun... we find a bottle of Chateaux Neuf De Pape with
Chinese is a great way to have some red nose fun on a Friday
night!
Offer of the Week
For the last few months I have been
doing a sponsored slimathon for Thames Hospicecare and I have raised £350
and would like this to top the £500. So all I need is two companies to
step forward and take a special feature for half price!
Here are some
reasons why you should give it a go…

Red Nose Day in
Berkshire
This Friday (16th March) is Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day
2007. Tell us what you’re doing to help raise money for the charity and
we’ll do our best to publish your story. Meanwhile here’s the story
of one Berkshire man’s money-raising plan…
Jason Ball from
Lambourn has a distinguishing feature: his extremely long hair. As long as his
family, friends, and colleagues can remember, Jason has always had long hair
– it actually cascades more than 12 inches down his back.
But
possibly not for much longer. Because Jason plans to have his locks shorn off
this Friday in aid of Comic Relief. Or at least, that was the original plan.
The problem is, so many people have said they can’t imagine him without
the hair that he’s decided on a different approach. Now visitors to his
website can vote either for Jason to cut off his hair OR to dye it bright red
instead. Either way, he’s sure to raise plenty of cash for Comic Relief.

Red Nose Day Treasure Hunt in
Maidenhead
This Saturday (17th March) there is a treasure Hunt taking
place in Maidenhead Town Centre in aid of Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day.
Sainsbury’s are one of the main partners Red Nose Day 2007 and will be
promoting the event throughout their new store and in the piazza on the 16th
March.
Sainsbury’s will be opening their new flagship store on
Thursday 15th March 2007 after two years of development. The store opening will
also mark the re-opening of the car park that has been closed throughout the
development resulting in a loss of parking space for the town centre.
The new store is expected to attract many visitors so Maidenhead Town
Partnership decided to capitalise on the anticipated rush of shoppers by
hosting a Red Nose Day themed Treasure Hunt from the Sainsbury’s piazza to
participating stores in the town and back to the Sainsbury’s piazza.

Red Nose Day Top 10 Search Favourite
Red Nose Day has been taking the search engine charts by
storm over the past week according to figures released by Lycos and Yahoo!,
both of which publish ‘top search’ charts. Red Nose Day is already in
the top 10 of online searches with ‘Comic Relief’ following close
behind.
Red Nose Day is proving a hugely popular search, reaching 2nd
place on the Lycos chart published last Thursday. Indeed it appears twice in
the Yahoo! Top 10 – once for the phrase ‘red nose day’ and again
for ‘comic relief’.
All this searching has naturally driven a
record quantity of traffic to the Comic Relief website which apparently has
scored over 1.1 million unique site visitors. Some reports claim that £4
million has already been raised via online donations – a figure that far
exceeds previous years’ efforts.

A Warning About Red
Noses
Here’s a bizarre story that
caught our eye over the weekend. We’re not entirely sure what to make of
it – if this were April 1st we’d be wondering if it was genuine. But
here goes: it seems that according to the Serious Organised Crime and Police
Act 2005, wearing a red nose within a certain radius of parliament could
constitute an offence.

World’s Biggest Burger
A US Restaurant already
famous for creating massive burgers has just added what appears to be the
World’s Biggest Burger to their menu. Weighing in at a massive 123 lbs the
‘123’ Burger is set to break the current 105lb world record.

Beer Drinkers vs Wine Drinkers (r)
Do you prefer
the grape to the grain? According to a recent study published in a medical
journal this week, your preference for wine or beer could indicate a lot more
about your personality and lifestyle than you’d imagine.

Hannah sent me this
yesterday. She thought it was funny. I found it patronising and demeaning but
it was International Women's Day so I let it go!
Planes, cranes and automobiles in the Peruvian Amazon
(r)
A good friend of mine, Chris Kirkby, will be giving a talk at
RISC on 18 March about the impact of the Trans-Amazon Highway. The final
stretch of the road, through the Peruvian state of Madre de Dios, is shortly
due to be paved. Worryingly it passes close to two incredible biodiversity
hotspots – the Tambopata National Reserve and Manu National Park.
