Does that include the SSF BOI account plus the Paypal system or are they a combined thing ? I did my transfer in BOI in Swords so that should have gone almost straight away to the SSF account - The other 20 quid for the Tagline I will hand up at the Beers on the 27th.

I thought this might be an issue. For the purposes of the pam button does it really matter though? The amount pledged is the amount to get pam in a dress, just like it was the amount pledged that got amp to change to pam.

If you think it's too misleading etc. the value could be changed to 369.04 but then the dream of that cute girl in drag seems so far away.

i'm all paid up! Paypaled!

DeVore

No, sorry, people are misunderstanding me (and I was quite mistaken too)

I'm sure the money will be raised, I just wanted to remind people that while its fun to pledge money and screw around with Amps account (with his consent, nay encouragement) there is a "follow through" of actually donating the cash pledged.

I had thought that Paypal automatically forwarded the cash to the bank account too... I copped that it doesnt when the amount raised in the Paypal account was a bit more then the bank account and (righteously) went looking to see who had taken a slice from the cash!

Turns out the money is in Paypal and the bank account has collected almost as much.
(which, while making me feel foolish, means that we've already raised about 700 euro for the charity before we've even started. Foolish I can live with )

It strikes me that we raised about that ENTIRELY last year in cash. The fact that that doesnt surprise me at all is testament to the mental barricades I've thrown up to deal with this year. I have a feeling its going to get a bit crazy.

Also, please dont take what I said as any negative comment on this. I think the whole Amp <-> Pam thing is pure oldskool Boards.ie culture all the way. I couldnt be prouder of the site then in the last week or two as a result.

DeV.

As I understand it, DeV has realised there's more money than he though at first already donated.

Anyway, to help the situation, can people who pay by paypal make sure they include their boards username and some reference to the amp=pam fund with their payment? There's a dialogue box for you to fill in a comment on the payapl payment page (like my alliteration? )

For those who are using the BOI account, IIRC you can include a refernce when lodging money to a bank a/c, if you're not too embaressed include your boards username and the amp=pam fund thingy as well

Personally I feel everyone will come good on their promises for this one, you're all good people and the response has been terrific so far. Now, hows about we get to the €3000 figure???

Zaph

Just double checked my Paypal account - I'm definitely paid up but left my name off the payment. Doh! If you need a reference to tie payments up let me know.

I think thats one for DeV or one of the other SSF organisers to decide. Should be easy enough to sort out if required.

Seraphina I have put you down for €50, If when you are in the bank you decide to put the taxman on the long finger {he will nott mind}and lodged more than that to the S.S.F please advise for the pledges and totals to be altered.

Are you serious aboout the €50 extra to do pams make up subject to her approval ?

MrPudding

I will take Pam's place and play poker in drag. I have 2 conditions, details here:

Ah Mr P those unreasonable conditions would put you out of the running for me but see what everyone else thinks. Fair play for being a sport.

Who ever ends up doing it its got to be worth a grand at the minimun. Think of the abuse the poor guy will have to put up with for the rest of his poker playing days.

That makes €800 in pledges to a poker fund, (subject approval from all the original posters who asked for pam I presume).

Mr P, you should set yourself a target to help get the donations rolling in. At least €1000, but I was thinking €1500 might be do-able.

MrPudding

I think €1500 would be a reasonable amount. I think I will be very pretty and it shoul deasily be worth that.

MrP

Hyzepher

I beg you not to go down the mini-skirt route

However, I'd expect some accessories to be part of the bargain - handbag, hat, make-up.

One word of warning - if Joe O'Neill starts chatting you up - run!!

I did have another condition but then I decided that intercourse might be OK, depending on how much beer I had. I removed the condition but forgot to change the number. God, I'm soooooo blonde. Cool, I can feel my new persona washing over me already.

Might be worth starting MrPudding his own thread, or is all this money going towards Pam's poetry reading as well?

Well I'd like to think that everything pledged would go towards the €3000 pam in a dress fund, so until pam says different its fine to continue on here.

Raphael

Really does depend how willing she is to do it

This thread has not been active for the bast couple of days. Might I suggest that it be put in a prominent place say as an announcement so we can get the three grand, theres 1755 euros needed loike. and the clock is ticking.

The weekends are normally quiet around here . The pledges listed on the thread amount to €2205 so there is not that far to go to the €3000 target if Pam is agreeable to accept the Poker pledges as part of this effort.

Agreed

therecklessone

The thread has died a death in the last few days, so to freshen things up I'm pledging an extra €100 (I had said I'd match anyone else pledgeing €100 a few pages ago, but I'm gonna throw the €100 in anyway). I'll arrange payment through paypal in the next few days.

Anyone else willing to match me?

p.s. if I get a chance later tonight, I'll post up a revised total for the fund.

That will be so funneh. I'm trying to imagine how the other players will react. Chances are that they will be a little distracted from the game .you could have a vert profitable night. Who knows you might even start a trend.

Right, been talking to Mrs Pudding there and he's agreed to fold the poker pledges to the amp->pam thing. Of course this is assuming that there are no objections from those generous souls who've already donated.

This will unfortunately bring my target much closer (€2095) and so I'd better start actually figuring out what I'm going to wear.

pam: who is starting to really understand that "Sometimes it's hard to be a woman" song...

P.s. I think we'll abandon the avatar/tag thing and just go with what has been proposed. I'll knock up (fnar fnar) a....girly version... of my beloved space invader and stick with my five sisters.

Oh No Pam , we're a lot closer than that.


SO far there is €2305 pledged in total if those who pledged for the avatar are willing to let thier pledges stand. Thats not counting the extra pledge from seraphina we are waiting on confimation on. I,d be learning that poem if I were you.



Good on ya Mrs Pudding

Ho ho!

Might I suggest this Pam Ayres poem/song to be recited, seeing as it has a somewhat "womanly" theme?
