Wonder what the biggest number of donors to a JustGiving page is? He's getting close to have 1 million people contribute to this.

Michael Ball getting on the bandwagon..."ooh if we could have a number one record"..."I thought I could just eat another pack of chocolate buttons (stop now fatty) or do something...it just came to me".
More like a call from his agent - "we could get heaps of good publicity off the back of this."
Or am I just being a cynic?!

unfortunately not, I think lots of agents and individuals will always look towards any situation or scenario, good or bad, to piggyback off for their own personal gain, sad really.
Totally agree. Go on Michael get those chubby cheeks back on screen and we're get a tour on the back of the publicity.

At this rate there'll be every Z lister jumping on this sadly for their own publicity not the spirit of raising money for a good cause.
Now more than ever 'these non celebs' need to stay at home and put down their cameras phones because literally nobody cares what they think....

Just passed £26 million in donations and nearly £5 million in gift aid. I'm running out of superlatives.
Happy Birthday Captain Tom. All the plaudits and congratulations are well earned. 100 years and still doing it for Britain... a smidge shy of £30m and still ticking upwards.

I realise that it would be a lesser promotion, but can't help thinking that Major Tom has a better ring to it.

Give him a gong, more worthy than the normal lovies and paper shifters.

And for anyone that hasn't see his birthday treat from the RAF;

Is there a more heart-warming and reassuring sound than that of a Rolls Royce Merlin over the English countryside?
