Two-for-one offer.
Make a sad child happy - give Darth the excuse to prance around London in a pink tutu AND for every £10 raised I will stay of OT for a day. Reach the target and I’ll be gone for over a month!
Also you can feel all Vippy for giving a child the education it needs.

I can't find out how or why he left at the mo, but knowing him he probably saw someone else he has haemorrhoided himself onto recently.

Good job I mentioned it though because it turns out he's been freaking a lot of women out with his creepy following and social ineptitude.
I think he's a B3tan.

I don't give money to africa any more.
I gave them £15 a few years ago, and they still haven't sorted themselves out, I bet they spent their money on BMWs and swimming pools. That's the trouble with these african based charities, they're not accountable to anyone, they're all so currupt. Now, I didn't give them that £15 expecting to see it back, but it would have been nice to see it go towards something useful for what the charity wants, like a hospital wing or a school class room, but it's a bit of a punch in the guts that out of that £15, there is probably a £50 "admin fee" taken out of it, which'll only go towards playstation 360s for the fat-cats who own the chairty.

I've got no end of friends and colleagues doing stuff to raise money for charity
So much that I think before donating based on many factors - how well I know the person, what they're doing, who the charity is.

I've given to DiT and PJM in the past year after they announce on b3ta. Tell us once and leave it at that. No one likes spam.

If you've done any fundraising you'll know it's easy to over-reach.

plus, I'm fucking skint at the moment.

at least Darth isn't a runner normally. It fucks me off when people who run every day for enjoyment decide that they should be sponsored for a run.

I shaved my beard off a few years back and raised a couple of hundred quid for charity. It caused me great distress. I want to see equal effort in other people's charity shenanigans.

Claiming to do it in exchange for Vietnamese schoolgirls is duplicitous. (Probably were schoolboys anyway.)

Saying that though, I reckon if we band together, we could beat the top-donation spot and give the name something like E.D.L
And the comment being "Fuck it, £30.01 to stop them coming here? Worth every penny".

I'll admit I've spread the net a bit wide on this
and I'm happy to apologise to DJTP and Bert if my chugging has gotten annoying. I get quite involved whenever we come up with some silly-arse way to raise money for charity and don't know where the line is. As Vipros says, I'm not in the habit of running (or wasn't, at all, six months ago, I have done some training for this) and am sure as hell not in the habit of jogging through London in a tutu, whatever you might have heard to the contrary, I'm not planning to ask people to give me money to run at any point in the future. Next charity thing will be something I've never done before. Maybe I'll deliberately start an argument for no discernable reason, or just MTFU and talk back to someone in real life.

I am nonetheless extremely grateful to Larry for his attempts to raise money on our behalf however, and for the idea of the tutu which has more than doubled our sponsorship total since I decided to use it.
