Send us your Red Nose Day stories and pictures
Today - as if you didn't know - is Red Nose Day, with the charity event celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Across the Bristol area people will be donning red noses, paying to see their teachers suffer, sitting in baths of various disgusting things and dressing outlandishly.
We want to hear your stories and see your pictures. Send them to epnews@bepp.co.uk along with your pictures under the subject header "Bristol Red Nose Day".
UPDATE: It's not just about humans of course. We've been sent a picture of Wilson, a four year-old Hungarian Vizsla, sporting his red nose.

UPDATE: TK Maxx Cribbs Causeway store manager Mike Wallington was one of a team from the store aiming to raise £1,500 with a 34-mile sponsored rickshaw ride to between Cribbs Causeway and the company’s Weston-super-Mare store.
They were aiming to complete the journey in six hours.
The company is an official partner of Comic Relief and the Cribbs Causeway store has already raised £6,000 for the charity this year.
UPDATE: Two staff from a Long Ashton day nursery had a bath in beans to raise money for Comic Relief.
Staff members Helen Wilson and Rebecca White, both 22, sat in a paddling pool full of the baked beans to raise money for the charity.
The beans were donated by Tesco in Nailsea and the school’s caterers.
The fundraising stunt raised £188 for Comic Relief but it is hoped other events planned at the nursery will help bolster funds further.
