I am pleased to hear that the money raised will be divided between two bona-fide charities and not used to pay off her mother's debts ! However, at the end of the day, who cares ? It is hardly somethng that touches real people - is it ?

Whoops - there's me saying the wrong thing - again ! I had wondered where the Tellytubbies had gone - and then I read some of the posts on the Forum and realised exactly where they were !

What on earth was she thinking. It looks like a giant IUD.

She does look like an extra from Doctor Who but credit where credit is due she is giving 100% to charity! Nice to see! I recently bought a couple of items from a seller who was dontaing it to 'Help for Heroes' - nice to know the money is going to a good cause!

Bearing in mind the hat was originally paid for with monies from her civil list allowance - or her father's civil list allowance - ie the taxpayer - her generosity in giving the proceeds to charities has no bounds ! Can I also refer you to the small print in the listing where we see that there will be a small deduction from the final price achieved. Enough said ! Someimes I feel so glad that I am now a grumpy old man as well as a Republican !

I don't why you feel the need to comment on anything I post on - yet again you are quite clearly using this forum as an excuse to whine about the tiniest thing. You usually keep ranting on about 'can we get back to discussing badges' yet cannot wait to make a remark wherever & whenever possible regardless of the subject matter. For a supposed 'old man' you are very immature in your behaviour here, I really can see why you were banned more than once previously!
