    i want your old ****. it's for the kids. and you'll go to heaven.

    hopefully that was random enough to get your attention. now here's the deal.
    I'm organising a few things icnluding a charity day in work but that's a side issue.

    The charity I'm involved with works with orphans and the elderly in Africa and I'm specifically trying to raise funds for a group of 52 orphans and 350 others displaced by the trouble in Kenya since December. They need a lot of things but it's mostly irrelevant if they don't have food.

    What I'd like to ask of you if you're game is to select something you have no need for (It can be s2 related or any old tat from about your house) and ebay it, starting at a pound with no reserve. Mention that the money will go to charity if you like but ultimately as long as you won't miss the item and won't be gutted if it sells for a pound then some small donation can be raised without putting your hand in your pocket. When it sells you can take off the ebay and paypal fees if you like and pay directly to a page on http://www.justgiving.com/ that i'll set up or send it on to me by paypal and i'll pay it on to the justgiving page.

    The charity's number is SCO 38320. It's called SuHoG project (see http://www.suhogproject.org/ ). It is mainly run by priests and nuns. Note that i'm not religious in any shape or form and this isn't about religion. every penny raised for this concept will go directly to that orphanage compound where the money is needed.

    So..... Anybody up for a bit of a clearout?

      thanks mate. see you in heaven
      I appreciate that sometimes it takes a bit of effort to be arsed listing something but the feelgood factor is good.

      I've also just signed to become a trustee of the charity so I can help apply for European grants. They have a bit of trouble with this just now because they're mostly Africans.

      I have grand visions of a convoy of S cars snaking across Kenya to deliver food, medicine and camping gear but the reality is we'd probably lose every car to bandits miles before we got there and have to hitch hike home in our pants. And that's not something the world needs to see. Besides.. i'd burn.

        Great vision mate... But one major floor in your plan. The roads are about as smove as the moon.

        When i was there last year it took us 8 hours to travel form Mombasa to Malindi
        (about 180 miles) and that was the quick route in an "express" bus. The "highways" also dont have any water drainage facilities so if it does drizzle a little you'll end up like this.

        Ohh, and the petrol, if your lucky enough to find some has about as much octane in it as your average pint of wife beater.

        So, i think sending money over there would be far better than trying to drive.

          Apart form that Kenya has a lot going for it imo, at least it did before all this kicked off.

          For example, this was our campsite in the palms on the beach.

          Accommodation was 52p a day and if you wanted breakfast and dinner you might spend another ÂŁ3 depending how many beers you fancy drinking.

              that looks amazing Bo. I've been asked to go and visit but aside from the trouble just now the money is better spent on food instead of my tourist antics. I'll get over one day out of my own pocket though.

              quattro_king - you are a gentleman sir. I've just looked at justgiving.com and the charity have to pay ÂŁ15 a month to use the service so I don't think we'll bother. I can receive money by paypal and pass it on of course. If you need to verify me you can contact the scottish office through http://www.suhogproject.org/contactus.htm
              Every penny will go to the people that need it.
              If anyone wants to paypal me (either after an ebay auction or just with a straight donation) i'll PM my email address.
              And i'll keep everyone updated with how the money is being spent.

              Thanks lads. I'm really impressed with your responses.

                            that's great mate. Doesn't matter if it's low value. I feel better asking people to ebay their tat than give me the cash out of their pockets. good work that man!
