My name is Carol Baffour and I am a researcher working for a television production company called Gallowgate TV. I am currently developing the second series of ITV’s Saturday night show called “Ant and Dec’s Push The Button”. We are currently in the process of testing two games with our presenters Ant and Dec and we are looking for people to come down to Elstree Studios to help us with that.

The first game will require 20 men only. We are looking specifically for 10 bald men (or shaven head); and 10 who have hair - age does not matter.…

Hi friends,

We need volunteers to help out and have fun collecting money for CF Trust.

Details: Helping customers pack bags and unload shopping to their cars. We’re aiming to spread out around the tills - there are 38 of them, so we need loads of helpers!

I have managed to get Tesco Twickenham on board with my latest fundraising endeavour for the CF Trust. If you can come along on the day and help out, even for an hour, that would be most awesome:

What you get in return: A wonderful warm feeling; the chance to wear a snazzy…

WE WILL MARCH!

Join us as we march on the streets of central London to fight against the looming, savage education cuts.

NUS and UCU are jointly organising a national demonstration – ‘Fund Our Future: Stop Education Cuts’ - to take place on Wednesday 10 November 2010.

Meet at Horse Guards Avenue - 11.30am.

Unfortunately we have been inundated with complaints from neighbours about noise and anti-social behaviour from our students on Wednesday nights and after the Pub2Club on Monday nights.

We know that only a small minority of students are responsible for such selfish and immature behaviour – but would be grateful if everyone could remember to be quiet and respectful to our neighbours late at night.  People may mean no harm but some neighbours find it frightening and tell us that their children cannot sleep and have school in the morning. 

SMSU is under considerable pressure from SMUC, the local police, local…
