I hope to paste the final amount for our Tsunami fund raiser soon. We are still chasing a few stragglers to pay up.
We are in the region of £2000.

Yay! We have a few people who seem to keep checking for an update :lol:

We still have a few Triumph Valmoto T Shirts for sale in Large £10 & Peaked Triumph Hats £8 all proceeds to the Tsunami appeal.

What about "guaranteed shag" cuddly toys? Have you sold out on the back of the guarantee alone? :lol:

More like shit out - they've all turned gay no one wants a shag!!!

You'll have to give them away... ummm... to charity :unsure:

Look like kiddies toy run here we come - I hope the kiddies dont!!

...another toy run.. another piss-up :thumb :hic

Oh Yes - best do the toy run first then!

Good idea, otherwise it'll be a toy crawl... if you can get people to move at all.

At least the Harleys could keep up.

PMSL!!

John,
Whats the state of play with the money raised? Have you got it all (if so how much?)
Has what you've got now been paid to a charity or are you waiting for the next Tsunami!!!!! :lol:

They'll be a wave of discontent with that cheap jibe Mr Dub :unsure:

We've been chasing the last few bidders from the auction!

Send the toughest bloke in the pub round for collections!!!!!! :lol:

I've paid :D
Send Shagrat too to savage them, or at least lick them to death!

I'll go as long as I don't have to wear a bomber jacket n say geeeza all the time! :D

But isn't that what it all about? :huh:
