Just had the first scumbo come round with a sponsership form at my new work! I really hate that. £5 down the swanny for doing some menial task which is usually enjoyable for the participant. If I have to pay £5 in sponsership I want to know they suffered to their very core for it! I remember my mate got us to 'sponser' **COUGH** pay for him to do a skydive!! WTF!!!!!!!!!! I really want to do a Ferrari experience day guys any chance you'll sponser me to do it cause I'll be really scared doing 90mph sideways in a £127,000 car!!!!

God! £4.5 of my money will go to lining the pockets of those involved in the 'admin' and if I'm lucky most of the remaning £0.50 might make it towards improved water supplies for some african kid! It's likely the week after its installed some 3rd world industry lord will pollute the bloody thing anyway!

These people need to be shot - you don't see me going around the building with a little tin saying, 'really struggling to get money for doing my flat up so will you sponser me on my ****-a-thon for £5'

Also, have you ever noticed how the sneeky b@st@ards always go to some hippy well paid manager who bungs in £30 and makes everyone else feel progressively guilty. If you are the 300th person on the form you MIGHT get away with a £3 contribution if others before you have chanced their mit by knocking a £1 off here and there.

WHAT A JOKE!!

<rant over>

 

It's sponsOr

 

A technicality; not unlike, 'tick here if it's f*king gift-aid'

 

It's more like daylight robbery!..........

 

Tell them to **** off

 

I totally agree Saxo Boy... I was cajoled (sp) into sponsoring some geek who was doing the Manchester - Blackpool bike ride a few months ago... I thought the same - cheeky tosser!!
It's almost as bad as women bringing in their new borns for all the other women to coo over
As for the spellling lessonss in NSR, it has two stop

 

Why not follow my example and just tell them that you hate all mankind and therefore won't be sponsoring whatever it is they're touting?

Plus perhaps the spelling lessons would end if people try using this

I mean a typ0 is oNe thang but the willfullllllll idiocy that goooes on hear is beyond the pail.

 

I FECKIN HATE IT when women bring in their newborn things and EXPECT everyone to fall over themselves congratuating them for..... Having a ****.... yep that's all they've done.. they've had a couple of ***** about 9 months ago... that and a few months of sitting around like a fat bitch doing sweet FA!

 

Isn't it just for the sake of the other women?

 

Nope.... they will try to show off to anyone......

 

That's crossing the line man. You don't need that kinda ****!

 

Miserable *******! I've raised over £3K for the NSPCC so far this year!

 

And we are all £3K worse off thanks to you.............. Dick feckin Turpin......

 

Gene, If I get through the ballot for the London marathon then I will expect YOU to sponsor me

 

That's another £5 down the feckin pan now............ SJ (stand and deliver) Skyline......

 

I cycled 250 miles and raised just over £3k for a childrens hospice, to slightly improve the lives for kids who will probably die fairly soon.

Feel free to slag me off!

 

Paul that's all very well and good on you: there is something you wanted to do and you got off your **** and did it - there should be more people like that in the world. However, I hope you didn't intimidate people into sponsoring you (by intimidate I mean they risk ridicule in front of workmates if they appear tight).

As a further aside a 250 mile cycle is actually pretty hard going and I've got all the time in the world for stuff like that. Example is that Little Britain guy that swam the English Channel - top marks But flying round the office looking for £5 for you to 'walk a mile' for aids victims is hardly difficult! If they resolved to walk the mile on their hands with nails rammed through them then I might consider it a feat worth sponsorship. As is stands I see most sponsorship as absolutely laim (or worse yet enjoyable) and is tantimount (sp?) to begging. It's arguably worse than those f*ckers that stick plastic tins under you nose when you are out shopping!

 

What do you want a feckin medal?

Did you do it for you or the kids? this thread was light hearted banter, that's all........... most people don't feel the need to shout their own praises....... guess you aren't 'most people'.......... ****..

 

Cheers SaxoBoy, all I did was sent round an email saying what we were doing.

I must admit it's a bit annoying when people run 3 miles in the race for life and get all the cash though!

I do one event a year, and even then feel bad about asking people, I find the whole task of asking for money a bit embarrassing TBH.

I certainly wouldn't do it more than once a year (it's a bit like sex really)!

 

Because you know it's wrong.............. now stop doing it to people........
