Nick has had a major accident, do you think there is anyway we can have a whipround for him?
Set up a PayPal/just giving acc? WCA ok with it?
I'll start the ball rolling by pledging a fiver- once someone sets up a way to donate!
Althepal, we shall have to speak to him first as you say ...i was thinking throwing it into his paypal on the proviso he doesnt spend it on rubber masks!
Why?
I thought he was loaded ?
No idea on his social status/ bank balance etc ?
put me down for a pint or two of a nice blonde for him. 😀
He'll only spend it on vintage chateauneuf du pape and BMX's 😉
Does he have a butler?
Does he need a new sports car?
I just broke a fingernail. I don't see anyone offering to fund my next bottle of rum as a result. 🙁
Are you having a laugh? Whip round for middle class man with broken ankle or whatever it is - get a grip ffs.
Give it to charity instead.
He could spend it on shovels and wheel barrows. I've not seen him working on that bike park for at least a week, maybe it would motivate him.
Whip round for middle class man with broken ankle or whatever it is
It's just a little bit more than that 🙄
😆 funny thread. We'll be having whip rounds for when someone retires from biking next.
maybe he can use it to get an extra spoiler for his Maserati.
Captainflasheart you have loads of rum on your pirate ship
Pebblebeach, I threw it out there
I tend to save my whipround donations for people facing financial hardship as I think thats the main reason for the. I don't think there are many on here in that situation.
What would be the point of a whipround for this guy?

Upper middle class?
He did say his ladder was broken too.
Maybe we could each sponsor a rung or something and get him a new one?

A nice get well card and large box of chocolates ?
A nice get well card and large box of chocolates ?
I'd donate a quid or so towards that 🙂
Fair enough if thats the reason, I thought it was to put money in an envelope scenario.
I'll start the ball rolling by pledging a fiver-
there you go althepal has already pledged for the card and chocolates
you want a whip round for someone ive never met and dont know, cos he fell off a ladder.
i empathise, 12 weeks out broken is harsh.
i have nothing more than empathy. sorry
EDIT: Im in a good mood, so im willing to club together with 499 other regular posters, for a penny a piece, towards a box of choccies.
what about sympathy?
well, i dont know why he was up the ladder, why he came to be on the floor more quickly than expected and what impact any of this has on his life outside of riding...........
so sympathy is on hold.
he was cleaning his roof from what he's posted.
not sure why, though, it's not somethign I've ever fretted about doing.
Why? Bcos some chap with more online friends than me is hurt we should give him money - was there a whip around for bullheart?
+1 sympathy on hold, shit happens
He was cleaning the roof because he lives in the Sistine Chapel.
He slipped on the Cillit Bang spray
[i] was there a whip around for bullheart?[/i]
Yes there was mate (for the charity he supports). I raised well over £500 thanks to the generosity of the forum folk.

they probably asked him to do it after his recent success with this fresco;

If your buying the lad some chocs I'd thoroughly recommend any of these;

Stick me down for £50, those african kids i've been sending money to can rough it for a couple of months, they'll understand 🙂
Cleaning the gutters has priority over the cleaning roof, however it should be undertaken after cleaning the roof as debris and detritus from the roof clean will accumulate in the guttering system possibly reducing the effect of the guttering's ability to dispose of rain water during a heavy downpour or storm. I also wonder why the roof was being cleaned and the state of the guttering if the roof clean had been started as we're going in to the winter months.
.
What's wrong with him then? I thougt he'd broken his ankle and was comfortably off?
I fell off a ladder once, we'll not strictly true, the ladder slid down the wall with me holding on most of the way - ladder hit ground, I hit ladder at considerable speed. I have some big scars to show for that one.
I wasn't cleaning the roof though as I get people in for cleaning jobs. As this chap has to do his own cleaning perhaps we should have a whip round.
Great, I'll put my money where me mouth is and donate to bullhearts charity if ut still possible
Do you want a retrospective card and chocolates pebblebeach?
Well it was a couple of years ago but cash/chocolates/card would be appreciated. I'm still suffering the psychological affects so paper money only, no loose change.
banks - the Bullheart justgiving page has gone. [url= http://www.justgiving.com/sarcomatrust ]Sarcoma Trust[/url] is the
charity.
cheers.
re: WCA - last thing I'd want if I had to sit around getting fat, unable to exercise would be CHOCOLATES!!!
Yeah, I'll put something towards his Maserati, why not?
Maybe it's all an elaborate ruse anyway http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lordswood-southampton-slow-ride-thursday-night-best-foot-forward
😆
I had a serious operation a few* years ago.
I want at least 50 quid from you all
*29 😉
Hi
I have just spotted this thread and thanks to the OP for the nice idea. I do agree with most the other poster when they say WHY?
My mother always told me to be an example to others, I am not sure she meant an example of what not to do but she wasn't specific.
What I suggest is that you all support me by having an extra beer/glass of wine/shot of your favourite tipple.
I propose an official "Drink WCA better" event at 8:45pm tonight.
If you want to take part please have your drink, think of the law of averages and how my existence reduces the chances of you having an accident. Post up what you have drunk (photo optional).
Cheers All
PS Maserati on hold as I cannot drive for three months. I am suddenly really happy the guy refused the offer I made on one. Can you imagine how I would feel stuck in bed with that on the drive unused for three months!
