Silly ... very silly
As part of Red Nose Day in 2003, we asked everyone to send in a picture of themselves wearing their red nose!
We wanted to know where your 'big hair do' nose lived!
With silly photos of yourself and your red nose, you were a part of our gallery.
Some poeple even featured on the Comic Relief National website too.

Dog gets the blue-rinse treatment
Two dog-owners from Stoke on Trent, Russell and Raffi, painted their dog.... blue.
Well, dyed it blue.
 | | Before...... |
Millie sported a fetching blue-colour (and harmless) vegetable dye, and single-pawedly, she raised money for Comic Relief.
 | | ...and after |
Millie is a 4 year old Parsons Russell, owned by Raffi, who's a professional dog groomer, living in Stoke on Trent.
She was a rescue from Animal Lifeline & Brookhouse Boarding Kennels.
She certainly turned heads out on a walk.
Joking aside
But... to remind you that you really did enjoy yourself while parting with your money.... here are your best (ER maybe) jokes....

ANT'S JOKE
A man went to a nightclub with a jumplead around his neck. You can come in`, said the bouncer, `but don`t start anything`. |
