BA's UNIQUE 'FLYING HIGH' COMEDY SHOW FOR CHARITY: And You Could Be There!


Long running charity Comic Relief have teamed up with one of the biggest airlines in the world British Airways in the hope to raise some cash, and inject some fun into the cause at the same time.

And for the first time ever a 2 and half hour stand up Comic Relief comedy show will be performed across the UK at 35000 feet by not one but three established and well liked comedians - Dara O'Briain, Jack Whitehall and Jon Richardson. This unique kind of show will be also be featured in the Guinness Book Of Records for 'Highest Stand-Up Comedy Gig in the World'.

It's not just for the 'high flyer's' either with plenty of cash to buy this experience! In fact you can get to see the Flying Start show for free on Saturday 12th March, 2011 and enjoy a glass of champagne (or ten!) along with refreshments if your one of the 75 lucky winners.
All you have to do to enter is text 'Fly1' to 70300 or go to the Flying High Facebook Page and enter from there. Please see the full terms and conditions found on the Facebook page for further details as a small mobile phone text charge will apply if you choose to enter via text.

When you enter you get the opportunity to donate £3 or more to the charity or if you prefer you can just enter without making a donation. If you do donate you can do it more than once. The more times you donate the better your chances are at winning one of these 5 star seats.

The Comic Relief Red Nose Day charity has been going for a number of years now and has helped thousands of unfortunate children from around the world. Although you don't have to donate as an entry requirement your £3 or more would be giving a Flying Start to these poor children.

The comedians are already gearing up for their performance and are ready to go. You can see their comments on the video below. All that's needed now is the 75 seats to fill for this opportunity of a lifetime for yourself and the disadvantaged children you will be helping out.

GET THAT GORGEOUS DESIGNER BIKINI LOOK

When I go on holiday I like to take several bikini's with me and wear them over the week and even mix and match them when I can.

I wanted a couple of new ones for this years break but my usual catalogue shops didn't seem to stock anything that particularly stood out to me. I like to have swimwear that will not only give me a great tan but catch other peoples eyes as well as my own!

Online store Simply Beach has a vast collection of gorgeous bikinis, swimwear, sarongs and other summer clothing.

You will be lost for choice on which bikini to pick for whats on offer. I'm still deciding as I write this!

A RUBBISH HOTEL WITH A DIFFERENCE

You hear people say that a hotel was 'a load of rubbish' but this temporary hotel in Madrid has in fact been made from rubbish that was found on beaches around Europe.

German artist Ha Schult is the one responsible for the build known as the Corona Beach Garbage hotel for a Save The Beach awareness campaign and to make people think twice before they start littering.
The five bedroom accommodation sponsored by Corona beer was opened up to lucky Facebook winners to stay over for free where they could sleep inside a building made from 12 tonnes of rubbish including tyres, books, musical instruments, wall decor items, old rugs and even striped socks!

The building was only created as a temporary hotel until the end of January 2011 for environmental and hygiene reasons of course.

Ha Schult said;

"I created the Beach Garbage Hotel because the oceans of our planet are the biggest garbage dump."

With a spokesperson for the project further saying;

"We wanted to show what our holidays could become if we don't clean our beaches."

It's a great idea isn't it? I hope it does make people realise and actually wait to put their rubbish in the nearby bin or keep it in their bag or pocket at least.
