For Haiti.

[BBfan46]

If you have decided not to vote. Please pick up the phone and call for a housemate to win. Each call donates 35p to the people of Haiti. Please vote. It doesn't matter who for. Please help relief their pain. If you are really keen to help Haiti. Download Jay-Z - Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) from iTunes now! :xyxwave:

[Patrick]

I really couldnt care less tbh.

[Shaun]

50p from each call? How much are the calls? :|

[Smithy]

I really couldnt care less tbh.

:shocked: thats harsh

Calls cost 50p from a BT landline, calls from other networks may vary and from mobiles will be considerably more shaun

[Vicky.]

50p from each call? How much are the calls? :|

Yes,I thought that when I read this...

And I wopuld be voting anyway, but virgin cut me off months ago and I have no credit on my phone...and my money is all going on a massive drinking session at the weekend, gavs away for a wedding :D

[Stacey.]

tbh, with all respect..
This whole Haiti thing is doing my head in!!!

[BBfan46]

Sorry guys, 35p goes to Haiti, 15p goes to Comic Relief.

[Stu]

I'm all for charridy but I'm not too big on the self righteous anal topics.

People will donate if they want to donate, and they wont if they don't. If you care about Haiti so much there are far more ways to donate even slightly larger amounts of money that don't involve giving yourself a Big Brother vote and a nice little CD to validate what a great guy you are.

Get on the phone - in private - and throw them a tenner. And don't brag about it to others.

[BBfan46]

Sov? Is that you? Why don't you throw your phone in the air and laugh? ;)

[Stacey.]

Just a thought. I'm hardly holding you at gun point to do it. Just a simple reminder.

[InOne]

I will light a candle for Haiti.

[Harry!]

I would download the album but I dont download albums. Shame it is a download only album I would of got the CD.

[Patrick]

50p from each call? How much are the calls? :|

I know last I heard they were 35, then last night he said 50p I was like WTF!

:shocked: thats harsh

Im fed up with people in school going on at me because im the only one in school who quite frankly, couldnt give two ***** about all this in Haiti, very good they had an earthquake boo hoo donate money, sing a song, find surviours.
There.

Its time people get over it and stop giving it so much uncalled for attention.



tbh, with all respect..

Agree with Stace.

[Angus]

Yes,I thought that when I read this...

And I wopuld be voting anyway, but virgin cut me off months ago and I have no credit on my phone...and my money is all going on a massive drinking session at the weekend, gavs away for a wedding :D

So how can you be "supporting" someone if you're not voting for them?:conf:

[Patrick]

Sov? Is that you? Why don't you throw your phone in the air and laugh? ;)

:joker::joker:

I loved that Sov moment..

'I will throw this in the air... and laugh!' :joker:

So if there was an earthquake wherever you lived, you'd sooner people left you to fend for yourself rather than have them send you Aid, and/or donate money to try and improve the life you have left.

[Stu]

Just a thought. I'm hardly holding you at gun point to do it. Just a simple reminder.
Did I say you were holding a gun to my head? That said, simple reminders don't usually involve three pleas in the one post. Like I said, there are far better ways to donate money to Haiti.

Don't get the wrong impression, mind you. I fully understand the countries suffering. I don't want to be thrown in the same bracket as windowlicking tools like Patrick, who seems to have no worldview or context deducting skills past whats happening on Eastenders during the week.

Uncalled for attention? Do you understand the meaning of either word, Patrick? Time to ring the special needs assistant and ask her to explain the situation to you.

[Patrick]

There is a location thing you know, so dont say 'wherever' you live.

Anyways, there will never be an Earthquake in Ireland, I would find it quite funny well depends how big it is.

I also know that no one would give a **** if it happened here.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Patrick seriously, what is wrong with you? :bored:

Come on, that's not true. There's very few places if a natural disaster hit, that the world wouldn't care about. Ireland isn't one of them.

[Angus]

All these celebs doing benefits and concerts to raise money for good causes makes me puke. Why don't they, with all their millions give a million each that they wouldn't even miss, instead of using these disasters to promote themselves as caring, sharing individuals and generating publicity for themselves. Not only would the victims get aid quicker, us poor saps who are barely able to make ends meet as it is would not be harrassed for handouts.

Strange too. that we have a government able to pledge millions of pounds to disaster relief, when they can't look after their own elderly and sick properly. Charity begins at home. Haiti has stronger ties with the USA - let the yanks step up and do something useful for a change.

[Stacey.]

tbh i cant see others going out of their way to give money to us [if we had an earthquake] so.. :shrug:

[Smithy]

Why wouldnt an earthquake happen in Ireland? We had one in lancashire a couple of years ago. People would give a **** because a lot of them would feel sorry for injured people/people desperatly in need of help.
You are very bitter. And clearly have issues

The reason why celebrities put on a big show for it is because it will inspire more people to vote. Simple. Do you think Bono and Jay-Z donating in secret will influence the same amount of people to vote as Bono and Jay-Z doing it on TV?

Get some geography lessons. An earthquake is not happening in Ireland anytime soon. It's not just nature rolling a dice and throwing a ****ing dart at a map, you know.

[Patrick]

1. An Earthquake would never happen in Ireland because of were Ireland is positioned on the Earths Plates.
I think it would be quite cool if Ireland got Earthquakes but unfortunatly the UK doesnt.

2. Dont tell me im bitter and 'Have Issues' when you know **** all about me.

[Stu]

It would be 'quiet cool' if Ireland got an earthquake?

You clearly do have some issues. This isin't a game of GTA you know.

Christ, the stupidity in this thread is overbearing.

[Patrick]

Like I said, it depends how big it is.

Dont tell me you wouldnt find it funny if the ground started shaking?

I seen it in Freddy Kruger and the ground started shaking and things fell, you just run under a table and enjoy it.

Agree, Patrick, sit yourself down and think for a while and think why maybe your being so insensitive to the Haitians.

[Stacey.]

:joker:
i would actually lmfao!!!

[Stu]

Like I said, it depends how big it is.

Dont tell me you wouldnt find it funny if the ground started shaking?

Like they did in Haiti?

Don't worry, you will grow up someday. I used to be like you when I was eleven, praying we would get a World War just for ***** and giggles. Then ... you know ... I had the whole growing up process where I realised the concequences of world events.

[WOMBAI]

You'd be crapping yourself - you're a great example of those that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk!

[Patrick]

Agree, Patrick, sit yourself down and think for a while and think why maybe your being so insensitive to the Haitians.

Move on, Were not talking about the bloody Haitians or whatever, anymore were talking about Earthquakes in Ireland.

Im not going to change my mind, I dont give a **** about Haiti, yes feel bad for them they got their homes wrecked.

Sing a Song.
Donate a few quid.
Cry or whatever.

Then get over it seriously!

[Smithy]

Get some geography lessons. An earthquake is not happening in Ireland anytime soon. It's not just nature rolling a dice and throwing a ****ing dart at a map, you know.

Well a map doesnt show tectonic boundaries so it would be of no use either way, anyway it was a in a metaphorical sense.

[Jackie]

I donate through oxfam and have given some change to the boxes in the shops for haiti.

[Stacey.]

Anyway... i bet half the money we 'donate' dont even go to haiti. :/

[Stu]

Well a map doesnt show tectonic boundaries so it would be of no use either way, anyway it was a in a metaphorical sense.
No it wasn't. You quiet clearly posed the question 'why wouldn't an earthquake happen in Ireland?'.

Because Ireland does not meet the geographic requirements for an earthquake to possibly occur. That's why.

[Smithy]

No it wasn't. You quiet clearly posed the question 'why wouldn't an earthquake happen in Ireland?'.

It was meant in a metaphorical way. Theres no need to constantly disagree with someone to try and show you have a higher intelligence it impress's no-one

[Stu]

No, it wasn't meant in a metaphorical way. What you posted wasn't a metaphor, it was a question. You can't change the rules of the English language to suit your own arguments. You wondered why an earthquake could not happen in Ireland. That. Is. Not. A. Metaphor.

Leave the whole 'lolz your getting the better of me so I'm going to complain about how ure trying to look intelligent' **** out. I get that same argument about four times a day from people. I'm not trying to look intelligent by telling you legit geographical queries can't be metaphors because it's just a base fact. And I'm certainly not trying to impress anybody. Who is it you know who is 'impressed' by discussions on the nature of the English language?

No-one is impressed you just try to belittle people, who have a different opinion

[BBfan46]

Anyway... i bet half the money we 'donate' dont even go to haiti. :/

TV Producers are low. But not that low.

[Stu]

No-one is impressed you just try to belittle people, who have a different opinion
What the **** are you talking about? There is no difference of opinion. What you posted was not a metaphor! Fact!

Your just peeved you ended up looking the victim of an Ashton Kutcher punk and your making yourself look more and more riddiculous as you go along. That's not my fault - it's yours.

[Shasown]

Doesnt have to be an earthquake, could be another natural disaster, or even just an problem within the country Patrick.

Lets say for example you have some civil unrest, say two political/religious groups with opposing views decide to start shooting and blowing up people from what they considered the other side. Wouldnt you like someone to srep in and help separate the two warring parties, eventually helping to bring peace to the area.

Would you still be against outside help then Patrick? Or would you keep your 'jack' attitude?

[Smithy]

im not on about this thread specifically, im on about in general. TBF you arent even worth the energy there is no getting through to you, you are clearly arrogant

You know he lives in Northern Ireland, right? :hugesmile:.

Well I'm not on about in general. Stick to the thread or stop wasting my time. It's pointless using the escape hatch and giving the old 'I'm not wasting the energy on you, crazy fool!' argument when you already have wasted the energy

[Shasown]

You know he lives in Northern Ireland, right? :hugesmile:.




Oh yes which makes his jack attitude all the more puzzling, the N. Irish are a nice bunch of people, friendly, helpful and caring, when they aint blowing each other to ******.

Maybe Patrick when he grows up will think about other people helping his community by making efforts to bring about peace. And remeber back to his recent posts about Haiti and feel a little shame, about showing himself to be a selfish and ungrateful wee boy.

[Tom]

If Sky can get votes down to 5p like they have on Got To Dance then there is no reason at all why Channel 4 are still charging 50p.

[Stu]

Channel 4 are loosing money hand over fist, and paid a rather large amount for a Big Brother that would wind up getting a third of it's peak audience.

Remember they even scrapped the charridy altogether last summer!

Voting doesn't make much anyway. During BB8 and 9 it was all for charity, between the 2 series' they only raised about £500k. Thats not even half of Davina's salary per series. I say 'only' because when you consider there were about 25 sets of public votes between the shows and the fact that voting figures hit 22m during BB7 ... noone votes anymore.

[Shasown]

Dont forget they get one hell of a wedge from whoever sponsors the show, then advertisement placing in the commercial break, because its now popular advertisers will pay more to be placed in the breaks on the last few days.

There is a knock on effect that advertisers will pay more for placement during the summer BB series.

[BlackOrWhite]

Like I said, it depends how big it is.

Oh yeah, what a hoot it is when you're wondering if you're every going to see you're family again, wondering if they're even alive under tonnes of rubble, you've got no food, no water, no home and no family! I don't know how you can say you "don't give a ****" because you'd damn well want somebody to give a **** about you if the situation was spun around.

ive already donated £5. so.

Well I have a mind of my own and don't need to have my conscience prodded by anybody else least of all overpaid bleeding heart celebs who could probably afford to fund the Haiti aid effort single handed if they wanted to instead of buying yet another Ferrari or mansion. I am perfectly capable of and willing to make charitable donations of my own volition and don't need wall to wall a*se kicking on every tv channel to do it.Jay-Z and Bono are two of the richest "celebrities" on the planet and if they make donations in secret, so what. They're not going to miss a million or two whilst the average person is struggling to get by on a daily basis but still manages to contribute what they can, without trumpeting it to all and sundry.

Good for you. But the concert still got more of the public voting than would have voted otherwise. Simple maths.
