Lot of work for charidy, mate

[rich p]

I've started to resent people asking me for money for doing these things. I like to choose the charities I donate to myself.

Why do people say 'charidee'?

If you're going to do it. DO IT FOR THE KIDS MAN!!!!!!!!

All joking aside. Do it for yourself.

As much as I've nothing against people doing things for charity, I don't think that people should do it just for setting themselves a challenge. Jist go and enjoy it.

I would just do it for myself.

I do one charity ride per year and did swimming things before that. I rattle the tin at work but feel you cannot keep going back every month. If I am tagging onto a BHF ride or something then they are not doing it for their amusement they do it to raise money. Beyond that I make sure their cost is covered + chip a bit in myself.

I cannot stand these rip off charity things - mostly seem to be parachute jumps where they say something like "raise £250 and the jump is free". Effectively half my charity money is going towards someones frigging parachute jump. They may as well have a charity day at Alton Towers on my expense.....

I'm not a fan of the sponsored mc-experience type charity events either.

Is the charity ride you're referring to the "Big Wheel"? That's my charity effort of the year, and a nice experience it is. Well organised, friendly and nothing corporate about it.
