Hello lovely /talk people.
I know some of you have already had this spammed at you, and to those people I apologise.

To those of you who have not, next month I and another b3tan that's not on /talk a lot (chenobble) are driving to Mongolia to raise money for the Christina Noble Children's Foundation (and also to have fun along the way). We'll drive 10,000 miles in a Nissan Micra that is wholly inappropriate for the journey. We would very much appreciate your help financially, but please note that this will in no way pay for us to have fun - every penny you donate will go to a very worthy charity that helps kids who have to live in hellish conditions that you can't even imagine, unless you're a bit sick. Stop imagining that.

The event we are taking part in is The Mongol Rally, which you can read about here: www.theadventurists.com/the-adventures/mongol-rally
and the all-important link for you to sponsor us, you beautiful people, is here: www.justgiving.com/herdingcats

Thankyou for your time. Spam spam spam, yes I know. Sorry.

I can't lie to you about your chances
...but you have my sympathies :P
Edit: from looking more into that rally you also appear to have bigger testicles than a large proportion of the male populus

What chances? They've almost hit the target.

Hello JA, you sexual behemoth.

Yeah, I'm kind of referring to the whole 'driving 10,000 miles in a micra' thing.
Also: nobody got my Ian Holm impersonation :(

Nonono, don't get me wrong: it sounds like it would be an amazing experience
It's just that it also looks extremely dangerous o.O

You massive pussy
I did it five years ago

You did not just refer to me as a pussy
simply on the merit that you, Grrmachine, a mental with a hardon for the mechanical, went on a jolly purely designed for mentals with hardons for the mechanical.

The only way to reclaim your masculinity is with a cash donation.

i think it sounds like a fantastic, challenging jolly.
and i don't ever have a mechanical hardon. Although if i did have one, i think it would have to be mechanical.

Even if we don't make it I'll have some great stories to tell over and over to people that aren't really interested, when I'm old.

Don't do being begged at. I have got a lovely fish finger butty though. You can't have that either.

Fair enough.
I'm not begging on my own behalf but I am indeed begging. Enjoy your fish finger butty.

how many of the children are you bringing back,
and how much do I need to donate to get one?

preferebly not one of the ones that has to come back in the boot, they never seem to make it

Depends.
For a fiver we'll get you a fairly homely one. Sexy children cost more.

How much is Tom Morgan charging you lot to fund his lifestyle these days?
and are the rules as pathetic as they were last year

The rules are a bit daft, yes.
Should be fun though!

I heard that the car has to be less than ten years old these days

you mean my polo wouldn't make it :(

(, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 15:27, archived)
Nope
and if you can't take a wreck, it's not a challenge. Every year the roads get better, so with newer cars it just becomes an endurance thing rather than an adventure. Of course, with no time limit or penalties (because it's not really a rally) you can go as slow as you like and have as much fun as you want on the way, which I hope Aardvark does because there's awesome sights on route, but it's not a rally.
(, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 15:29, archived)
Sadly that is true.
Still, it means we have a car that actually works, so I guess that's a good thing.

Thanks matey. :)

I don't think you should go.
It's too far away and your car is rubbish and you might get a sun burn or the runs and then get poorly and end up catching some weird disease that makes a worm eat your brain then a big bad Russian policeman might arrest you for being brainless and lock you away in a hole that has no proper toilet.
