trust you to put a negative spin on a man's charity work. For shame. <no>

The problem anyone faces when they are a public figure who genuinely wishes to contribute to a worthy cause is that they're d*mned if they do and d*mned if they don't.If they contribute publicly, it's labelled a PR exercise; if no-one knows they did because they keep quiet about it they're seen as mean-spirited bar-stewards.

If it was me in Ron's position (fat chance of that) I'd go ahead with the donation and let people think what they want.

You have to weigh these things in the scales... <whistle>

That's almost as much as Mass's fine for the pit line infringement.

Is that a hint of sarcasm I see? <thumbsdown>

If anyone had cared to note, I posted a link to the lads sponsorship page (I put in £20). A far as I am concerned, it was a good result. The charity day gave a good oportunity to publicise the cause.

It was announcing the result of the charity fishing... everything I said was factual... and was in perspective.


Big Ron was true to his word... and the lad did exceptionally well to get as many fish in the allotted time.

Everyone is a winner. <angel>

So typing multimillionaire in italics wasn't a dig at Ron then?

Some how I don't believe you. I can't think why. <think>
