The outpourings of a deranged mind

Bloggers of the world unite

Right - new meme for all you blogged up people who read this blog. Bluesoup is doing a 10Km run for cervical cancer in order to raise money and awareness of something that is, unfortunately, all to familiar to her. Thus far she’s done a sterling job of raising sponsorship money and is [at the time of writing] just off the £1500 mark which is absolutely incredible. By her own admission, however, she’s running out of people to hassle. Which is where we come in.

Firstly, regardless of your presence, or lack thereof, on the internetweb, if you haven’t sponsored her: do so. Since you don’t need to buy me gifts and cards for the midwinter solstice period you’ve got some spare cash lying about. Link is here, credit card is in your wallet [blokes] or hand bag [laydeez]. I’ll wait while you do…

…all done? Good. Now, if you own a blog slap up a post hassling your readers to sponsor her. I read your blogs so I’ll know if you’re cheating :P  Get your readers with blogs to carry the meme on.

If you don’t own a blog then get your friends to read blue’s blog and get them to sponsor. If you meet resistance then threats of extreme physical violence are always effective. If they don’t believe you then point them to my collection of incredibly sharp swords.

If you work with me and know what a rolo is (not the sweet) then a one time gift of 1 rolo per £1 from the bot if you sponsor her (chat me and I’ll sort it out).

Right - I’m tagging all of you. Let’s see if we can’t get Blue to £10,000 :D

    Hey Dom, thanks for doing this. Can I ask that you add (in capitals): PLEASE DON’T MENTION BLUE SOUP BLOG ON THE COMMENTS IF YOU TAKE PART. Please? There are Real World People sponsoring me too and my cover is gonna get blown… which would be a bit upsetting.

    And a whoot-deedle-doot… Hit £1,500 this morning :) New target of £2k (Although to raise £10k would be SMASHING!!!) I trust that you are going to meet me at the end of the run for celebratory beers :)

    Get enough of us hassling our work mates, friends, etc then £2000 will be smashed pretty soon and £10000 will be doable :) I’ve even written some code that hassles my workmates regularly to go donate :D

    £10k should be an easy target by May next year!

    You’d think, but getting people to part with their cash can often be hard. Still, Des put £20 (about $4Bn at current exchange rates) up so my hassling of people has done something :)
