dooahhdoo Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Read this thread first if you have not already. What do you guys think of doing this over here? I am sure the childrens ward at Nobles would be more than happy to accept gifts for the kids who are sick at Christmas? I have emailed our RO for an opinion. (His better half used to be a nurse so if anyone would know if it is a good idea here then she will!)
Boxer23 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 I'd back this idea. But I ain't getting dressed as Santa. Did that last year.
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 I vote Neil as Santa I suggested a Paypal paying scheme? Easy way for us to do. But yeah sounds good Nick!
Boxer23 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Come on, what other ideas have you got? Let's get the charity Christmas spirit rolling.
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Realistically how many kids are in Nobles? Just an idea but take them out in a convoy for a gentle spin? Sure they would love that. Just like the guy did with the other one. That really touched me that actually. I aint a soppy git but when people do that its brilliant. Sure we can get plenty of coverage from our friendly Mr.T, Vin Diesel Wannabe IOM Reporter eh? If we want to do something it should involve the Scooby's (with us being the Scooby club )
Boxer23 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 To be honest, I think there are quite a few kiddies (there are 80,000+ people on this Island) and I'm not sure the hospital staff will appreciate us nicking a dozen or so. There are legal issues with taking other people's kids for the day. I think we raise some cash together and buy some pressies for boys and girls (after asking the hospital first if it's okay and how many children there are on the ward). Coverage can be sorted. Any who are you calling a wannabe?!? PS: Got called Vin AGAIN in the gym last night. I'm growing my hair!
Kristan Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Well I'd be up for it - is it worth contacting noble anyway and seeing what the score would be? Can't hurt I'd have thought!
Boxer23 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Good man - Kristan has agreed to be dressed up as Santa! Lol
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Oh ok. Vin Diesel wannabe. You already go swimming in the Irish Sea for the love of the job! Ha Ha!
Boxer23 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Who you calling a wannabe?? Just 'coz no-one remembers your staring role in The Muppett Show back in the 80s!! Lol
Cret Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 This sounds like a nice idea. And I mean the pressies thing, not a guest appearance by triple X with Beaker, kermit & piggie!
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Whats wrong with Beaker?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Cret Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I never said anything was. Wouldn't dream of it! Although he is a carrot top........
Boxer23 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 I reckon it's Jon's turn for a Mr T cut. That'd make the sick kiddies smile...! Lol
Cret Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Mr T cut? Is he a guy who goes around endorsing products that claim to restore the original splendour of your car's paintwork? Yuk yuk!
Boxer23 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 PMSL!! That's the guy. Fills in your nooks and crannies! Lol
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Cheeky fooker!! I went gingher once y'know.... Blonde gone wrong!
