Hi, about the earthquake is south Asia, I just hope that the help promised by all "civilized" countries will not be taken by politicians or others for their own. Besides, I'm really glad that we help those populations, yet, I'd like that other suffering populations around the world won't be forgot in that operation. They are thousand of people dying every year because of AIDS, because of diseases or starving. We have to remind that they also need help. We have to keep helping all of them. (and stop bombing several others, for a pretended national security, just a point of view)

Both Zen and myself reckon nows the time to draw the curtain on this. We're just over 1000 quid not counting the 200 Ico is currently at. I'd rather it was closed now, than languish with no movement, posts whatever and basically go out on a high. Obviously anyone wishing to give can do directly to one of many collectors, just Google and you'll find them.

A heartily big thanks and hugs to each and everyone of you shower of cunts - you're all special. Donations have ranged from 1 to 250 quid. Regardless of what was given, given it was and thats the important thing.
I think this little turn of ours just really cements what we already know about Yakyak, its a caring community. Yep, we have our fallouts and flamewars now and again but all in all its a great place to be and feel part of and we should be proud of ourselves of helping to make a few peoples lifes a tiny bit less painful.

Before I go a mate of mine tried to do the same on a certain forum which partakes in discussing all things DVD. His thread was immediately closed and that was that.

Thanks again.

Alan

*hugs*

Mods / please give this a couple of days then feel free to lose this -ta!

Thanks to both of you for organising this, I know for myself I was wanting to donate and was trying to determine the best mechanism, and what better than through yakyak (for me anyway)

Just before you do put this to bed, I would just like to add that tonight my little folk group put on our charity concert for the Tsunami appeal - both PVB and Grue designed posters which have been advertising the gig for a few weeks.

Anyway, we made just over a grand, with more to come when various things have been sorted out. ALL of the proceeds will be donated directly to CAFOD to go directly to the Tsunami Relief appeal.

There will be a CD of local Cambridge student bands/DJs/producers released soon; a friend of mine is putting it together, all proceeds to tsunami charities.
I'll post again about it nearer the time.

Nice work Llamasofties,

one of my other interests is Robot Wars, on the site for the Fighting Robot Association ther is also a Tsunami page.
This was set up by me to see how much any robot team or teams had raised for this cause. They have raised somewhere around Â£1.000 as well.

Well played Sir, talking of Robot Wars, I know a bloke who has appearred in a few series - David Crosby, his robot (Napalm) only once made it past the first round and that was only because the house robots trashed his opponents.

He's a big trekkie and the highlight was when he'd just lost, the commentator Johnathan (cant remember his surname), shouted 'Beam him up Scottty!!"

You had to be there I guess
