    Everyone knows by now that money has a conscience all of its own. There's not really too much mere individuals can be expected to do about that uncomfortable fact, I reckon, even with the best will in the world.
    THe desire to seem to mean well is present in every corporation. It is housed in their PR departments. Tesco want me to sponsor their walk for some old bull**** every time I pay for anything. Even worse, they want you to put food in their charity bins. I have just ****ing paid for it. Tesco want ME to give THEM food that I have just bought from them to give to poor people...... absurd.

    I hate everything and everyone.

    Hmmmm. Yes, charity.

    I watched a celebrity game show yesterday where the prize for charity was around 3 grand. You have to wonder how much that programme cost to make- just dont make the programme and give the money you saved to charity.

    Charity- its all bull****.

    Where, geographically, does the diminutive **** pay his taxes? Of those he does actually pay.

    'Huge' charitable donations are an avoidance of tax not generally an act of altruism.

    I don't subscribe to any myself and am forced to run the gauntlet of street collecting ****s each day on Wicklow Street, South William Street and the street down by Peter's Pub. It is only the gift of headphones and loud music that saves all involved from a very unsavoury incident.

    No, P. People need to work and make money. Otherwise there's no chance of anything being left over to give to charity, is there. Presuming they actually want to give any away, that is, of course.

    Not sure my friend, I think the band channel their monies through Holland (or did in the past).

    But then he is an artist and they already benefit from sizeable tax exemptions in Ireland anyway so he is quids in as such, for a ****.

    Adam Clayton, the English bass guitar player, is basically my neighbour so when I next see him I shall ask.

    Merely being in a position to give anything away makes people feel better though, as if they really are top man and doing quite nicely. The reality is often quite different though admittedly

    I didn't know he was English. And I even bought the Boy and October LP's when they were released

    Most charities spend **** all on their actual front line cause and most of your money goes to paying for lunches to lobby MPs, celebrity dinners etc......**** the lot of them. I give a couple of quid to the homeless guy on the street. He knows what to do with it.
