Not how I do things. If I hear of an event that sounds fun, I'll join in or spectate. Just because it's for charity won't make me more likely to go. I won't watch something uninteresting because it's for charity. And I won't donate to someone else's choice of charity just because they jump off a building. I donate the amount I want when I want to the charity I feel is most deserving. anyone who does otherwise isn't helping the people they feel are most needy.
Now theres a suprise.
The person here that is walking across the sahara desert I do NOT see as fu n and I will not be going to watch or take part in.
It wouldn't make me go either in fact it's likely to make me less likely to go.
Me niether but sometime like the children in need thing a celeb might actua lly do something interesting or out of character, I might then watch.
Me noeither unless it;s a friend but I'd still ahve to believe in the chari ty.
Me too but sometimes if someone else is willing and able to do something I wouldn't I might well support them.
If yuo wanted sponsering in a swim around the antatric I might well sponser you but not if it were politions that have fallen on hard times or footba llers that have lost millions at gambling or anyone else for that matter.
But if there was a cat that need an op costing £1000s (I did this last month) then I'd sponser you more, yes even you ;-)
Sounds flammable.

My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our= local pet shop and they were =A370! Blow this, I thought, I can get one= cheaper off the web.
I think that's an overstatement, and what actually happened was that more iron was donated than could be processed. Since the propaganda value of the donation stories was worthwhile (and an admission that the steel and munitions industries couldn't keep up might have looked bad), no steps were taken to discourage the over-donation.
I thought we were supposed to be fighting against that kind of Goebbels.
So is celebrity endorsement as an advertising method, but that doesn't make it any less absurd.
Still astronomically more than aluminium foil, which is about =A31.50.

aluminum foil?
We have Tin Foil and Aluminum Foil. Both make great hats!
Maybe it is a UK slang thing.
I think I can see clear water between somewhat patronising and promoting genocide. But, of course, that former sort of thing was one of the reasons for the 1945 election result.

Which is rather surprising, as silver is known to be antibiotic and is used in medical devices for that reason.
Antibiotics aren't toxic to humans or doctors wouldn't give them to sick= people.

I remember your brother Jimmy, crying one summer's day, "Why do you cry, young Jimmy?" I heard your granddad say. "'Cause I can't do what the big boys do, that's why I cry," said Jim, "Move over then," said your granddad, and he sat down and cried with him= .
The 'broader ecosystems' suffer though.

Sulfur too has suffered and is not the 'official' spelling.
Bunch of turd burlgarizers.
