So.. I should have probably sorted this earlier but oh well.

On the 16th, I will be participating in a 55 mile bike ride from London to Brighton. I've not rode my bike in about 10 years. Eep.

Anyway, it isn't just random, it's a charity event for raising funds for the NSPCC through my workplace. If you have some spare money from the promos and releases, I'd really appreciate it if you could saunter over to my random gifting page and donate like a boss.

I will be looking to record the entire trip, if I can sort the hardware to do so out in time, and will be uploading pictures and videos of any highlights. For example, the tyre exploding or me falling off the bike.

Thanks :)

I'll see if I get some spare cash, and donate some money. But it won't be much...

Tyre, the British spelling of tire, the outer part of a wheel

Appreciate it, regardless of how much it is.

You brits speak a very weird English :))

I'll pop in at least 1$. BTW, can you donate through debit card, or is it Paypal only?

"Tire" in the US never refers to the wheel, unless you are an automotive idiot. Wheel can occasionally refer to the wheels plus the tire (e.g. I just got some new wheels for my ride can mean either getting simply new wheels or new wheels and tires), but never the other way around.
Sorry it wasn't much Xyem, all I had left on my card - good luck and much respect :)

We speak English.. you're referring to American.

English has many strange exemptions and such, but at least we are consistent with how we spell 'dough' :)

Paypal or debit/credit card by the looks of it.

I hope you don't hit a speed BUMP on your tour.
How much of a cut does JustGiving take from the £100? Also, will NSPCC take a cut from the donations?

LOL, you do realize that most native English speakers speak American English right?

Not that I disagree with you, I just wish the Brits could settle on whether it's called American or English when we Americans speak it. It's getting rather dull being wrong both ways.

+1 for the charity work, I wish I could afford to chip in.
Chucked in what I had left in my bank account, not much but like ASDA, every little helps :)
This is where the GOG community can actually show that it is so much better than other forums.

And I would say we raise that bar back to 500 quid.
