Wall of Mouths

just had a thought colin

its a good job that u wont be running around stark bollock naked around the streets of belfast, u r 15, itll be like child porn to some people. plus, i wouldnt like to be in the same room as ur parents if you do that.

sorry, i dont have a dirty mind, well…actually i do but not in that way.

but ill be happy to sponsor u tho, just dress up as uncle bulgaria, or if u wanna REALLY dress up as a womble, dress up as Squall, Gimmie etc. :D

Yes - and you’ve raised £40 already :D

Like this, but wearing a Motley Crue t-shirt.

:D

:D

One of the hire shops I looked at said £20 per day, but you have to lay down a deposit as well. But really you’d have to find one near you… as I doubt they do costumes by post :s

Dermot… you’ll be dressing up too, I presume?

May 1st, I think Colin said.

Ok, bad news Hooch, Derm, everyone that’s voted for us…
I went into Elliots Belfast (BIG fancy dress shop) and they said there was no chance of them getting Womble outfits in…

They are quite overpriced too… £40 to be Batman! :eek:

I think we’ll have to do it normally as I’m not paying £40 for a suit I’ll use once…

Colinx

Fuck, I never updated this after I bumped it.

I raised over £200 for the NI Hospice (£232 to be exact) and, the lads from school that did it, collectively raised well over £1,000!

I’m at the front holding the Hospice banner, and at the back of 2 of the pics taken aftter the marathon.

For those interrested, I ended up doing 9.6 miles (last 2 legs) in just over 1 hour 12 minutes. Which is quite good, atmosphere was good, and the crowd lining the street was just excellent!

Me & a few lads are going to do the full one next year (fitness permitting!) and I’ve already started to hit the gym!

Well done dude :)

Well done Colin. If you wanna do a full marathon fuck the gym and get time on your feet on the roads. its the only way to do it. And get som really good tackies

Feel this should be a sticky… Hooch, sort it out ;)

Right, Derm, do it this year.

I’m at Fitness First N’abbey, if ya wanna join and get training!
Hopefully, I’ll find a decent cause to raise money for, does anyone here have any particular ideas?

Or maybe an alzheimers charity - this is really touching :(

I tend to give most to homeless charities. Ok, the homeless aren’t all that cute - but most of them have really tragic stories My other half works for a homeless charity and lots of the people he works with are only your age. And lots more are just ordinary people who started getting into debt and everything just spiralled out of control. Can you imagine if that was you? Or your mum or dad? It’s a really horrendous situation. And then you get people saying they’re all junkies and alcoholics - well a lot of them do go that way, but a lot don’t. And of the ones that do, most of them were perfectly ok when they were first made homeless. It really can happen to anybody, and once you are down there it is incredibly difficult to get back on your feet.

If that doesn’t appeal then consider mental health charities, because those people aren’t cute either and they can’t fight for themselves :( Most people know someone who has been affected by cancer or heart disease so those charities get loads of money. Animals are cute so the RSPCA do ok, and the NSPCC does really well despite the fact that it’s an absolute fucking disgrace that what is essentially a social service dealing with basic human rights should be run as a charity - the government should get their priorities right and give Social Services the resources they need to do their job.
