This is far from funny..... Why are they not using those pennies to feed the weans.... What, with the cost of the stamp, they could have thrown a birthday party.... I wont be giving them any money if they are just going to send it to people who are going to drink it away. :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil:

its not much different from the charities that send out pens with the forms hoping you will use the pen to fill out the form. a lot of money must be spent on the pens.. me..i use the pen to fill out my football coupon.

I appreciate receiving those pens as well and I'm sure they cost more than a couple of pence!

How much does it cost the charities to deliver their bin-bags... especially when they don't always return to collect what has been left out it seems like too much initial expense and effort!

puttting a pen in an envelope or two pence does not make me want to donate to a charity. when they tell me how much money can build a well or buy medicine , thats the sort of stuff that makes me put money to charities. it also pisses me off when celebs jump on the band wagon. i also hate the fact celebs tell you to put money to charities, if every celeb in the country put their years income to a charity (witch they probably wouldnt notice in their bank account) the charities involved might not do so badly.

Over here, there is a political party for animals(not for party animals). Their whole list is made up from celebs, so there are even enough people here to vote for them. They would get 5 seats in the governement.

It's almost as bad as when you stop to use the public lavatories in Inveraray. You have to spend twenty pence just to spend a penny therefore coming away 21p down.
