    Yeah he's very good for it, whatever the company makes he usually matches it

    Its aviation and ice buckets so related-

    Aer Lingus use a similar number of buckets to MoL but drench a dozen uniformed staff:

    This is a Ryanair thread how dare you :pac:

    They shouldn't have bothered really. Kind of pales in comparison to the CEO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,506 ✭✭✭Jack1985

    What kind of comment is that? You do realise all these videos create awareness and increase donations.

    Ah yeah millions of kind souls out there not latching onto a trend! :pac:

    I was just observing how lame it looked in comparison. But hey, it's charidee so whatever!

    P.S. I bet the CEO doing it would have raised more.

    You really need to take a hard look at yourself with those kind of comments. Do you know anyone who has died from ALS/MND? Because I personally do. And I can tell you its increasing support and generating much more awareness in what the disease actually is and how it completely strips away at individuals until there death. So please stop being a sarcastic jumped up idiot. All donations are welcome no matter how small or big, remember that.

    Look at who started this thread.

    Easy lads, lets not turn a good thing into a bickering match, all donations greatly accepted


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,179 ✭✭✭✭fr336


    Just so the awareness is loud and clear

    As stated above. While many see the challenge as a bit of a fad...it has so far raised millions of dollars in the US and hundreds of 1000's Euro in Ireland alone.

    Awareness is the goal, regardless of who takes part.

    I see where fr336 was going with his comment and I believe his tongue in cheek comment was taken the wrong way.

    IAG boss Willie Walsh gets iced by 4 staff, one each from Iberia,BA,Vueling and BA Cargo. In response to MoL. He in turn nominates the Delta CEO



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,179 ✭✭✭✭fr336


    Haha brilliant I didn't think I'd see Willie doing it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,575 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    Nice touch from Walsh :)
