    the other night about 9:00 pm i opened my door and was about put engine oil in the car when two young guys in tracksuits and hoodys approached me and said they were cycling from dublin to belfast for rehab and asked for a donation. I Just said i could reallly afford it which is not a stretch of the truth. Then i got thinking there are hundreds of charities around so why should his charity be more important than the homeless dogs or africa or whatever. If i really want to give to charity i can find a way so why do they think that they need to bother me at home?
    I wish their was a law against door to door charities. Not to mention i have no reason to believe that they wont pocket most or some of the money. If anybody reading this is involved in door to door charities just no it does not make you a good kind person. It just makes you an irratating rodent.

    Fekin' GAA are the worst for calling to my house at all hours and most are from clubs miles away.

    I think it is terrible to call at night. These knocks on the door, no matter if it is by well intended people, can really frighten elderly and vunerable people. I did a fund raise for The Irish Cancer Society recently and it was strictly forbidden in their rules

    No they all are. i know charitys exist so either i will tell them to f**k off or give money without people bothering me at home. They know this but yet they seem to think that by their physical presence being there they will pressure you to give them money. Rodents

    I always thought it meant 'Quit F*cking Talking' as in 'Quit f*cking talking cause you've proved your point so well'.
