Title: Everybody loves threads about charity... Post by: sovietsong on October 26, 2010, 10:59:00 PM Now then my good friends of blonde poker. A mate is doing some stupid bike ride for charity, he is a bit or a moron like that helping people and stuff, he even volunteers to help 'the kids'.... weird
This is the heading of the blog they are updating with all sorts of stuff... "2 Fools. Lots of Miles. 1 Life saving charity. This is the blog charting 2 guy's training, fund-raising and eventual cycle across Vietnam and Cambodia - In aid of MAG - The Mines Advisory Group, who save lives and paint new futures for those still affected by yesterday's wars." BLOG (http://bikingmonkeys.blogspot.com/) So anyway he is having a charity auction at the alea in leeds on thursday 4th november, got some pretty good stuff such as a signed leeds united ball along with some other lesser lots such as 5 UK holidays. I doubt they will get any bids as everybody will be gunning for the leeds ball but might be worth going along if you are into that kind of thing. If people like giving money away to charity where you don't even get anything for it you can just give them some money via this... i think just giving (http://www.justgiving.com/stephen-and-grezz) :dontask: If you dont want to give anything or do anything thats fine, if you want to pop a bit of abuse on this thread for me or for charity that is fine too. Good night everybody... Title: Re: Everybody loves threads about charity... Post by: Acidmouse on October 26, 2010, 11:53:06 PM I don't sponsor random strangers and for that reason I am out!

Title: Re: Everybody loves threads about charity... Post by: boldie on October 27, 2010, 10:44:20 AM So they're going round Vietnam and Cambodia on a bike and paint stuff?..wouldn't it be easier just to paint in the UK and then sell the paintings to raise funds for people in those countries? don't think people in Cambodia and Vietnam can afford to buy futuristic paintings. So you 're dragging your bikes and painting equipment all the way over there and then have to drag all the unsold paintings back to the UK again....sounds like a loss leader to me.
Do they have special bikes to carry all the painting stuff? You might need quite a bit and some of the stuff is quite heavy. can you give an example of one of their paintings?

I've got this vision of 'that' scene from "The Deer Hunter" GL Title: Re: Everybody loves threads about charity...
