24 Hours of Selfies: My Challenge for Red Nose Day 2017

Published on

Red Nose Day selfie photo
It’s a bit short notice (given that it’s only two days away!), but I’ve decided to set myself a challenge for Red Nose Day 2017:

On Friday 24th March 2017, I’ll take a selfie with everyone that I speak to face-to-face (regardless of whether I know them or not!)* and tweet the pics via my Twitter (@steviephil) using the hashtag #steviephilselfie.

* Obviously people can opt out and stuff (plus there’s a few other ‘rules’), but hopefully people will want to get involved.

I had the idea for this ages ago, and RND seems like the perfect opportunity to give it a go. I should be working at Welsh ICE (my coworking space) on the day, so hopefully I’ll have plenty of people to interact (and take selfies) with. If I’m not then it’s gonna be pretty lame, as I’ll probably work from home and I’ll only end up doing selfies with my family, haha… So fingers-crossed I’m at ICE, eh!

If you’d like to sponsor me (please do!), you can do so via my dedicated RND Giving page: https://my.rednoseday.com/sponsor/steviephilselfie. Even if it’s just a couple of quid, it’ll all make a difference. Thank you in advance.

At the end of the day, a rant is a rant – it’s just a moan about a niggle. It’s just annoying.

However yesterday I saw an instance of it where a massive opportunity was lost, where a charity could have benefitted greatly. This is more than just annoying – it’s upsetting…

Last night my friend Ian Daniels (@surfpunkian) – who I had the pleasure of finally meeting IRL at last week’s BrightonSEO – retweeted a tweet by @AndrewGirdwood:

The link goes on to show a series of photos of a dog and elephant who are friends. Aww!

I was curious to learn more about the duo so I Googled “dog elephant friends” and ended up on YouTube. There’s actually a few different videos of different pairs dog and elephants who are friends (who knew!) but eventually I found this one:
