So 3FM Serious Request hit the country again. A race for charity where 3 DJs get locked up in a glass house for a week or so, presenting their show from it. Meanwhile, there's auctions, songs request and all kinds of stuff going on around it. With this, they try to draw attention to whatever good cause catches their fancy. Last year there was a huge rally against landmines, and this year the focus is on water.

At work, someone started a bit of an auction themselves, where everyone can suggest a record, but has to put their money where their mouth is. The song that gets most votes becomes the official request and gets sent on to the 3FM studio.

Our current count is roughly 2000 euros already! I just suggested U2's - Walk to the Water, because it's so fitting. It was hard to decide though... Bowie's "Looking for Water" was high up on my list too, as well as No Pussy Blues, but that was just because it would rock so much to hear that song being played on the radio.
