i tried to keep my reading '04 one on as apparently you get a free crate of carling if you go back with it on, but i only lasted about 2 months until i snapped it off in drunken frustration.

wristbands are fucking batty. i dont care if they're for charity, if you want to give to charity then donate money properly dont get drawn into the wankiest of fashions ever. we all get drawn into fashions but buying bits of fucking plastics to go round your wrist? that's totally shit.

I agree with Dex, I sponsor a child in Boliva but I don't go around with a Bolivian flag draped around my shoulders.  All wristbands are shit, but that's just my opinion.

Agree.
It's ok for the birds to wear them but any bloke doing it has to be some sort of fucking gaylord. Just put some money in a charity box ffs.

Oooh look at me with my wristband. Aren't I a trendy twat.

I'm not a fan of them either. The original cancer one is fair enough but there's too many pointless ones, stuff like anti bullying wristbands is just pointless.

If the money is helping out charities/causes then I dont think it matters if people are just buying them to be trendy,at least hopefully some good will come out of it.

Better than spending the money on sweets or glue to sniff.

I've got a livestrong one and wear it cos its for a good cause. I cycle a lot and after reading lance armstrongs book, I felt I had to do something...he is one amazing fella and has had hell of rough time, and it shows my support for cancer suffers across the world- also has an effect when a relative has been affected by cancer....

Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, 09:55:29
I think the main gripe with them is the increasing number of people that are buying them off of those who bought in bulk, intending to sell for profit. There are a large amount of people who see these things as some kind of fashion accessory and have not actually donated anything to a good cause in order to acquire one.

as much as i don't like these things, at least they are getting charities money, and sell better than those brooches/ribbons etc. However, it's the people who sell these things for profits that annoys me, and also the twats that buy them off these people.

How many of you who wear these wristbands buy a poppy and wear it every year? (this isn't a dig, i would just be interested)

I always buy a poppy. Don't often wear it, if at all though.

Yep, always buy a poppy and wear it proudly!  

This year i was in Asda during the two minutes silence and the number of rude people is unbelievable.  Most people stand and abide the silence perfectly but you always get some twats who think it is funny to walk around shouting at the top of their voice while everyone else in the shop is stood still.  Fucking wankers
