Plenty of people from India and Sri Lanka 'donated' their lives for this country, when Hitler came a-knocking. |

I think he may be simply trying to aim his message at the widest possible audience.
I think on this occasion there should not be a problem.The thread is clearly named and anyone not interested can just skip it |

yeh this disaster is a shame, but i would not donate for one reason , i know how charaties work after reasearching the topic at great length. not that much of the money you donate will get through to the people that need it . it is a shame but thats why charties are rubbish, bob geldoff had the right idea but it doesnt work like that

Agreed.
There are times when being off-topic is irrelevant, and this is one of them. the huge loss of life etc puts all our piddling little problems with Sky+ boxes into perspective. By the way, you can also give online through Oxfam - please remember to check the GiftAid box if you are a UK taxpayer. |

These people need all the help they can get - posts like this deserve to reach the widest audience possible. It's not as if posts like this will need to be posted every day (God forbid - surely this is a once-in-a-lifetime event). I only found this forum a few days ago and thought it looked quite useful, but I will not be hanging around too long if it is full of small-minded people. Sky+ is not the be-all-and end-all of life, there are SOME things more important. |

Thanks, Gareth, I might just hang around here a bit longer - at least there are a few real human beings on here.
I got an email from Oxfam yesterday, so I donated via their site. |
