Do they have to be wearing a onesie whilst doing this? :unsure:

Appears to be the case. I can't remember the last time I crossed the Forth Bridge and there wasn't some charity walk going on as people with clipboards and hi-vis vests watched over a bunch of fat knackers in pyjamas walking over the bridge, waving at traffic and rattling collection buckets. Maybe that's just standard Fife behaviour/dress code and I'm just out of touch.

Bonus points for throwing coins that connect with backs of heads and causing the Onsie-wearing Buffoons to plummet into the Forth,

 

Now as a charity event a Fat Fifer flying into the Forth in a Frog Onsie has appeal.

I think that was probably just[mention=40259]throbber[/mention] being supervised working on site tbf.

Shhh, don't tell him. He is still under the illusion his "study" has earned him a "degree". Probably one of those graduation certificates kids get when they leave nursery.

It seems a pretty lame charity challenge (walking the bridge). I take the dog a longer walk once or twice every day.

Along the lines of charity, folk wanting money to do a skydive.

Am I f**k paying for you to have a great time.

Would probably pay if you were doing it without a parachute right enough.

Years back, a mate and I cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats. I was genuinely surprised how many people got angry with us because we weren't raising money for charity too.

THEM: If you're doing something like this, you should raise money for charity.
ME: Why? We're just going on a cycling holiday.
THEM: That's not the point. These charities need money.
ME: OK, well give me a pound and I'll give it to charity. Or better yet, just give a pound to charity yourself and tell them it's in my name
THEM: No, but you should collect it.
etc. etc.

Also, in my marathon running days I was constantly fending off requests to raise money for their pet cause. It appears that any time you do something that requires a modicum of effort, you're obligated to raise money for charity too. It doesn't matter that you might  give money to charity, you also have to raise it.

I never really thought anything other than, good for him but I've now I've pictured him (well, I'm guessing what he looks like) slothing about hungover in his longsdales. Sum boi.

I have worked full time since completing my degree and have no time to lounge about hungover in my Lonsdales thank you.

I meant while you were studying. Turning up to uni in amongst all these young go-getters stood throbber, hungover in his longsdales.

A fairly accurate summary of events tbf.

It's 'mumsnet.com'. Mums.net is a MILF porn site.

Bet mums.net was available when they started too. Useless bints.

Got a lovely, secluded grassed area at the back of my house. The local council come along every couple of weeks and cut it to keep it in good shape. It is great for taking the dogs for a walk and it is a nice safe place for the kids to play in. Until today. Somebody drove a pickup truck onto it to clear some stuff away from the back of a house. It then got stuck in the soft ground. After a couple of hours trying to get out he then called a mate with a big old Land Rover to try to pull him free. Between the pair of them they have now left the lovely grassed area resembling a ploughed field. Gits. :angry:
