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.

Yes, I thought that was the point you were making before.
If you've done any fundraising you'll know it's easy to over-reach.

^this
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.

What do you look like without the beard?

It was a traumatic experience getting my chest length hair cut off
but felt slightly good knowing my four years work was going to a wig maker to make hairpieces for people undergoing chemotherapy.

I read that as
"Getting my lengthy chest-hair cut off"

Looked younger you say?
Keep that in reserve for when you hit 40. Shave beard - et voila, 30 again.

I'm going to be that guy with a long pointy beard, big mad hair and a waistcoat.

I shaved my balls
for Vietnamese schoolgirls

That's what Vips means - you shave your balls anyway,
Claiming to do it in exchange for Vietnamese schoolgirls is duplicitous. (Probably were schoolboys anyway.)
