Ice bucket challenge

[StraferJack]

I have no idea about him generally but I would imagine a lot of mayors have done something similar - local papers full of thsi stuff, connection between council and community and stuff - and it would raise more donations that way

I dare say if you were mayor you wouldn't confine it to just facebook friends - you'd be aware of the wider civic audience

Just seems unduly harsh is all

That's because you're in Mr Reasonable overdrive this week. And yes everything you say is probably true (except I still wouldn't be doing it if I was mayor). But this particular guy just makes me bristle in a big way and seeing him doing anything for publicity just makes me want to spit.

I'd quite like to pour a bucket of ice cold water over quite of few people I dislike. If I donate to charity and don't film it, does that make it ok?

I was with someone who went on and on about doing the ice-bucket challenge (seemed to be in the hope I might donate). As luck would have it someone with a normal bucket was collecting for the National Association for Crohn's and Colitis so I completely emptied all my small change into their bucket.
