With a week to go before their epic canoeing trip across the Atlantic (which appears now to be the only method of getting there thanks to the strike) the boys meet to give press and tv interviews and amidst the media scrum (taking place just out of shot) it becomes apparent that the various diets and get fit campaigns have, well, not exactly worked. Some original ideas have been tried... Reidy's 'Pedigree' diet would probably have been more effective if he'd opted for the 'Chum' rather than the 'Marstons' variety. Special mention should go to Neil's cunning policy of looking thinner by always standing next to blokes who are more rotund than you. Talk after choir practice did include whether we should nominate a charity (other than the Beer Fund) which might benefit in probably a (very) small way from the trip... there were no sensible ideas so please comment below if you, the people of Britain, have any suggestions. We're not going on a crusade or anything but you know how gullible Americans can be and we might be able to fleece them of a few bucks for a good cause.
as a suggestion, for the charitable donations, that you collect for an awning/lean-to for the church so we can discuss local matters out side while burning incence without getting wet during the frequent drizzle?
ReplyDeleteTop suggestion Dave... charity begins at home and its been a long old winter for the 90% of the congregation forced outside by the nanny state to freeze our bits off while we partake of a ciggi or two. I'll have a word with St Terence, see if he could use such a generous charitable donation in the manner you suggest
ReplyDeleteThought you were doing it for Help the Heros? I have loads of interest from the parents at school, one of the mums has an elder son in Afganistan and she is losing weight for the charity and already has fifty quid. Put you to shame with your blinking smoking shelter idea!!!
