Fundraising for mortgage - who would contribute?

trishasaffron

I was watching the marathon today and looking at people running for charity. Wondered how it would go if you were running for your mortgage? Would people contribute? How much?

Why not? Surely its just as good a cause as lots of those people run for. Say I've lost my job - likely to lose my house if I can't pay the mortgage - surely that's as good a cause as any??

I'd contribute a kick in the arse.

The question is would you pay me if it was the other way around?

New job maybe?????
You don't lose your house because of one or two missed payments so that gives you at least 2 months to find one.;)

Well I guess that's a no then:p

Back to the drawing board

What kinda costume we talking about here? They're better be a costume or it's not a charity run.

A white plastic cup would suffice.

trishasaffron

Great idea - lets focus on the costume - I've a year to get it right. Maybe a euro sign? Or Michael Fingleton ......

But you would have to be out of a job and about to lose your house before it will make any sense.;)

How about the costume of the priest pretending to be getting oral from a kid? You know the one I mean... always does the rounds - I'll try and find it.

Edit: Found it!

That's called begging...

If ye ran it butt naked and could prove you were in dire strife, supported by an article by the local newspaper which showed your children wearing terry cloth nappies on the front yard, looking fairly thin..

..then I'd give you a tenner.

phasers

they should be out looking for a job instead of running in silly marathons

But where are you going to find 2 girls willing to do that?


Ah wait, you're from Sligo too... :pac:

Doc

He could go around collecting and if anyone asked he could say its to prevent homelessness.

It would be true if a little misleading.
