I got a full back wax while my colleague got both legs waxed! very painful but we raised just over £300!

to anyone who did nothing, this instantly makes me a better person than you! haha

I got up at 9.45am

Avoided it like the plague.

Work was in "wacky funster" mode today. It's not for me :)

Enjoyed an inset day sat at home doing nothing. Standard.

I'd be much more interested if all the money was put to good use in this country

fukin dying african kids aids fuck em all

:eek:

You don't fuck an aids kid do you. Think it through, amateur


It was dress down day at work, but they didn't take any money off me so I put some in a bucket so I didn't feel so bad

Agreed.

Yeah, there's fuck all charities that do stuff for people in this country

I've no problems with the charities involved... Just don't liked being participating in forced fun.

Don't we already donate enough abroad through our taxes? The government always seems to be donating our hard earned to worthwhile causes in some far away land. I do my bit throughout the year, Cancer Research and the RNLI being two of my favourites

I swear this exact same argument was played out on a different thread, and someone answered it far more eloquently than I could.

You a season ticket holder ;D

Sorry I missed it

I got my legs waxed last year for children in need.  Didnt hurt at all, dont know what the fuss is really !

Got a season ticket...

Put a quid in a collection box in Cardiff.

I do not agree with a corperation paid for by you and me running a charity event.....Comic relief, Sport relief, Children in Need....worthy causes but it just is'nt right..

Educate, Entertain, Inform.......beg?   no thanks.

I chopped my cock off to save the Indians.

I just sent a tenner.

The whole not being blind anymore thing always gets me.

Then I saw two Amy Ponds,I feel its a good deal.

Convincing arguments indeed, however I'd still rather keep what little dosh I do have spare in-house so to speak, just my personal view of course

That reads like I was blind doesnt it..

avioded the bbc totaly, the fucking click that is corden, davina mccall, take that etc etc :smugfu:

claudia winkleman needs a haircut.
she can fucking pay for it herself though

I won some money at the bookies.

Unfortunately its going in my beer fund for tomorrow

Yeah, because complete strangers lucky enough to have been born this side of an entirely arbitary border in closer proximity to where you live are obviously going to be much more in need and deserving those other complete strangers that live a bit further away aren't they. Some of those fuckers are a different colour and can't even speak English for chrissake!

 ::)

What's your point?

My point is I can't understand why people have this strange hierarchy of those deserving charity, based on how close they live to them, or how much like them culturally they are. I just don't get it. How is someone I don't know and are unlikely to meet in Glasgow or Newcastle, or even just up the road in Rotherham, more deserving of my money than someone else I don't know in somewhere like the Sudan? I don't get it?

Throw into the mix that the people in Rotherham have access to free education, healthcare, and a welfare state to feed them and house them, where those in the Sudan might not have the means to feed their children and it's bordering on being a fucking bizarre way of thinking.

Fair enough. I just couldn't originally see your point through all the sarcasm.

FWIW, I actually agree with you.

Now I feel dirty for agreeing with Lumps. Eurgh.

The words "comic" and "Lenny Henry" are oxymoronic.Ditto Corden,Norton,Bishop,MacIntyre..

Guess I'm fucking bizarre then. Perhaps I should just keep anything I do have spare in my pocket then rather than donating to something like this

Obviously I'm now convinced I must have got this wrong. I felt the same last night when for a brief second I caught myself nodding at something Kelvin McKenzie said on Question Time. Mind you I think he was basically calling Baroness Warsi a thick bitch so it was difficult to disagree.

Fair enough I like a man with the confidence to say that they don't really give a shit if kids starve.

I can't really recall ever saying that, only that I prefer to give to UK based charities. Twist it how you like

 
and only those from Midsomer...

Nick Griffin, is that you?!

Exactly.

It's also a complete misconception that all of your money goes abroad, a significant proportion goes to British charities but like you say Lumps, it is prioritised. And the whole dumb, superficial fundraising part is not a reflection on how wisely the money is distributed - Davina McCall doesn't also choose the charities believe it or not.

So Lumps and Oxford....you obviously feel strongly about it.

What have you done....donated?...sponsored a child?....gone to Africa and actually tried to help?

If someone feels he would rather give to the lifeboats or the Prospect hospice in Wroughton(as i do) thats there perogative..

There are millions dying in Africa,....all over Asia....kids live on the streets and are regularly beat and killed in South America....15000 people have just died in Japan....there was a tragic earthquake in New Zealand...i could go on and on,there all worthy causes.

Just because some people prefer to give to causes closer to home dosn't make them inferior.

Good post leefer.

I don't think that was implied to be fair to Lumps and OF.

What is clear is that the amount of money donated to charity each year by hard working every day people such as ourselves, no matter how it is allocated, is enough to cure every single problem in the world.

It's clear that people have associations with different charities (national and international) for many different reasons, be that for personal, family or moral reasons. Like you say leefer, that's everyone's own prerogative.

Fuck off rio ferdinand.

"im from the same place as these kids"

Err no, youre from peckham mate, not kenya

Prick

 :nod:

Tans, it was sarcasm.

Agree with all of that.

Yeah. As normal when I was about to post a load of angry badly written tripe, Lumps comes up trumps and puts it a lot better.

I can get a bit evilly cynical about comic relief sometimes, but I don't really mean it. If anything, people should be made aware of the benefits that a little bit of worldwide wealth distribution can accomplish more often. The tiny amounts of money it takes to massively increase the poorest people's quality of life is astonishing - both in the UK and around the world.

Ive been at work all day so missed most of this, but I did get back in in time for Davina Mcall to call Fearne Cotton 'just so brilliant and brave' for wearing a fucking swimsuit or something. That is just beyond parody.

I found a man passed out in the car park by Cosmos and rang and ambulance
I really feel that was helping the local community! :)

That's fine,just take out the shite tv that comes on between the appeals.

Nosey paker, do gooder!!

Raised £415 by selling cakes and wearing a nightie to work on friday.

I heard the food was a bit ropey in there.

I did fuck all, thought you may want to know :pint:

:zzz: :zzz:

I hope you don't stalk you're childhood crush as obviously as you do to me on this forum

:zzz: :zzz:

You may want to drink some coffee, you seem very tired
