Posted December 7, 2005 Well, we all know this is the season to be jolly etc, and for most of us, it will be. I can probably assume safely that most of us here will enjoy a happy and relaxed Christmas with our families and friends. However, there will be some families that wont have a good Christmas. They might live in a poor country or be ill, so i propose that as a community we all do our bit to help less fortunate people than ourselves. Now, Oxfam are running a special service that allows people to buy gifts for less fortunate people than ourselves, and starting from £6 you can make a difference to people's lives. Now, i have a goat that my mum bought as part of my pressie, and its good to know that people will have a good living thanks to this goat, for a couple of years. So i urge you all to contribute. http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com/ If any of you have any other charitible organisations you'd like to nominate too, then post 'em here. Just as an after thought, if people are willing to pledge money, then I'll set up a Paypal account so that we could all contribute to one big thing perhaps. I'll see how this thread goes before I create it. Anyway, get donating/pledging - hopefully we can all make a difference to people's lives. I need to revise now, I'll come back to this thread tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 8, 2005 Why on earth are you showing us charity sites? Surely people can see them verywhere they go, people asking for money and shit. Dumb idea. People, don't trust him with your money. Hes an internet fraudster currently living in the caves of Afghanistan, tricking young boys into giving their money and much more.
