Am I the only one who find 'ice bucket challenges' tedious and childish.
At Beverley races last Sunday, they could hardly wait to fit one in between races 2 and 3. In fact, I think those who run that course would have preferred seven ice-bucket challenges and one race instead of the other way around. OK, great, money is being raised for charity but still a load of bo**ox.... |

Maybe we could start a throw yourself of a cliff for Charity event? |

My eldest daughter's best friend volunteered for it. She sat in the garden and waited for her bucket of iced water with her eyes closed. After she got drenched and finished screaming (tbf there was a LOT of ice in the bucket) she was handed a towel.
As she sat drying herself off, she got covered with 4 more totally unexpected buckets from those who sneaked up from hiding behind the garden shed. They should have taped the scream on it's own for use in horror movies. Another one I saw that was 'shared' on Facebook, was a bloke in a yellow rubber cape, snorkel and flippers. He walked backwards up a ladder for 3 or 4 rungs, and dived head first into a large bucket of ice water, but it tipped up and threw him into the garden fence. |

it'll be more fun in the winter, if we can just keep this pyramid scheme alive.

I'm sponsoring people at £1 a go on what I'm calling the M6 Rush Hour dash.
Quite simply I'll donate £1 to charity to anybody willing to run across the M6 near Spaghetti J between 7-30 and 9-00 weekday mornings. OK it'll cost me, but it will rid the country of quite a few morons - and it WILL be for a good cause ... and you can put an ice bucket on your head if you like. Go on line to Funerals'r'us.gone.uk |

Don't know when this crazy thing started as never heard talk of it but kept seeing vids of people doing it.
My son and his girl just did it in Madeira, but if anyone nominates me they can get stuffed. |

at least they could do it int the snow to make them a bit colder

With the traffic at a standstill you could crawl on your hands and knees, and be perfectly safe. |

Aunty,
sorry I missed out the bit about the blindfold. They'll still do it. |

As a diabetic I'm gonna ask people to raise awareness by sticking their toes in a blender to let people know what its like to lose parts of your body.
I'm gonna toss of a tramp over the weekend too for Shelter, anyone else in? |

I got nominated but told them to wait until the snow arrives. The ice bucket shouldn't melt then.

It's a little known fact but people can actually donate money to any charity they chose - without the need to say "look at me, I'm so original, I'll show the world by doing what the other idiots are doing".

I think it's a complete load of sh*t and far more about attention seeking than doing good, but at least THIS one was original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLZOjLv0_6k  |

Fine lines, Ken, I know, but I think the CIA were tipping the person into the bucket; not vice versa.

Spot on... I was 54 last week and the older I get the more stupid many other people now seem to be...not an original thought between most of them.. Here is another example of crass stupidity (to me at least) - nothing to do with ice bucket challenge. Football fans who pay almost £100 in Premiership and then bay to have the opposition's top players sent off at every opportunity. Yes, they want their team to win but surely best they do it fair and square? It's like me lashing out £100 for the best seat at a top London theatre and then screaming for the lead actor to go off stage and not come back... Honestly, I could go on and on at the stupidity of today......and don't get me started above the team of children who run Beverley racecourse!!! |

Absolutely correct. The ' look at me ' society is pathetic. |

By:
"Alec Salmond nominated the Queen - says a lot about him"
Oh he completely politicised it, as usual. Nominated Cameron and then shouted "Go Scotland" - he just can't switch the tap of nationalist cr*p off. Completely cringeworthy. I wonder if the ***** shouts that on the vinegar strokes? ... Damn that's a really horrible image. |

Serious stuff though, not on a phone, but an actual video camera on a tripod. Quality attentions seeking. |
