[Bruvva]

As I've mentioned before, I'll be doing a half marathon (http://www.runtothebeat.co.uk/) this October on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support - a charity that improves the lives of people affected by cancer. I'm trying to raise £375 and It'd be ace if people on here could throw a couple of quid in my direction.

Anyway, click on teh linky to sponsor me : http://www.justgiving.com/simonrunningtothebeat

Oh, and here's Macmillan's website if you want to read about them http://www.macmillan.org.uk/

Thanks

I shall sponsor you £5.00 one week on Friday.

[Thechinesebullet]

God Bless You!

[DevilsDuck]

Bruvva, I will sponsor you, but im not going to sponsor every tom, dick and dan that turns up!

[Vivienne]

That's my caffeine allowance gone.

[Ezza]

I would sponsor you Bruvva, but I don't have a debit/credit card. I could post you my money if you want.

[Vivienne]

You should also post the topic at www.aled.info

[Console]

That's right, because posting on a forum you've never posted on before asking for money would never be considered spamming.

[Vivienne]

Is this really considered "spamming", Cons.?

[Zoot]

Ah, so sarcasm DOES work on the internet...

[Vivienne]

I think I hate Console sometimes. It never lasts though.

Oh ha ha.

Bruvva isn't spamming, he is a long standing member here, he hasn't just come to ask for money - but if he went to random forums purely to ask for sponsorship, that would be. I'm not sure if that's what the bullett person is doing or not, I don't get the impression thats the only reason s/he is here, so probably not.

Yeah, but even so, it's a bit cheeky to ask for money when you've just joined, even if that wasn't the reason for joining.

He's also posted, requesting sponsorship, in a thread about sponsoring, so he at least has the virtue of being on topic.

[Vivienne]

Is that a virtue?

[Yudster]

Not around here!

[Vivienne]

It's crazy though, that staying on topic is now a "virtue" along with patience, charity, etc. Virtue is now cyber.

[DevilsDuck]

I think Console was trying to point out that some people do have morals on the internet and dont just post random toss in any old thread

[Vivienne]

hmm. you won't find many in this place.

[Thechinesebullet]

I have been meaning to join but never got round to it, but i eint forcing you to sponsor me, its all down 2 u.

[Yudster]

Either way, congratulations on all the runs and stuff, and good luck in the GNR.
