    I saw some people selling them today.

    I remember a few years ago when some kind of safe-sex day was on the same day, there were people in Daffodil and condom suits walking up and down Grafton Street.

    That was surreal

    Well maybe you should, Its a very good charity,

    They help over 12,000 people a year suffering of cancer, and provide a nursing service for people in their final days so that they can spend them at home...

    I've already spent €6 on charity this past week. I'm pretty satisfied that my soul is safe.

    Not in the traditional sense, but I think it is.

    There was a man on O'Connell Street in Dublin today dressed head to toe in the daffodil pins. Mad looking. I didn't buy one, mostly because I didn't encounter anybody selling them all day.

    There was a guy on graton st. with an air horn and decided that the obvious way to get people to buy a daffodil was to blow the air horn really loud:rolleyes:

    Serious gobshíte ; the last person I want to buy a daffodil from is a guy with a noisy air horn

    Actually, meant to mention something...

    Went around UCD, saw all these old guys selling daffodils, selling very few.

    One hot girl in the Science Block, was selling like hot-cakes.

    Gotta love people.

    We had a box of them in the reception in my work, I bought one there. The company is going to match the amount raised from selling them in our office too. :)
