[les_taxi]

I have a feeling it won't be long :yikes:

[tiger31]

I think its a good idea for us forum members to do it and post video evidence on here lol

[joebloggs]

Before Les nominates me, :wink: I'll not do it for the same reasons as Pamela Anderson :NoNo:

On a sadder note, 27yrs old :NoNo:

See? I bear no malice! :biggrin:

Wayne Rooney? :Erm: :doh You've mixed me up with Dedworth :icon_lol:

[les_taxi]

John Terry then :biggrin:

[Jamesey]

I've been nominated, and will be doing it tomorrow! :Cuckoo:

But note that it's supposed to be for ALS / MND awareness, even though MacMillan have tried to hijack it!

They're both good causes, but ALS / MND deserves to have some publicity. MacMillan are a huge organisation and are paying for Google Ads. If you type "Ice Bucket Challenge" into Google, a MacMillan ad is at the top! :NoNo:

[Abigail]

The number Macmillan are giving for you to text donations to gives a reply from MND though so I am not actually sure where the money is going to.

[les_taxi]

I can tell the nomination is homing in on me as more and more mates have done it!

Andrew Tan takes ice bucket challenge

http://media.philstar.com/images/the-philippine-star/headlines/20140826/AndrewTan-GEN18.jpg

Billionaire industrialist Andrew Tan became the first Filipino tycoon to take the ice bucket challenge yesterday, pouring a pail of ice cold water over his head at his home and promising to donate an unspecified amount in the fight against Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

The Megaworld chairman, in a video, also dared three other businessman to take the challenge: McDonald’s Philippines – Golden Arches Development Corp. president Kenneth Yang, Asian Institute of Management president Steven DeKrey and Accenture Philippines country head Manolito Tayag.

Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said she would take the challenge in her office this afternoon because “it’s for a worthy cause.” Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares promised to do the same at an unspecified date and said she would also donate.

I would have liked to see a pic of the rest of the Family - not wanting to typecast of course :biggrin:

[Slip]

I've been nominated on facebook by a so called friend. So far I have not commented on his call out, nor his private messages! In fact I have been keeping a very low profile.

I won't be doing it either!

[raynaputi]

I wouldn't be doing it if anyone nominated me. I don't want to join the band wagon. :cwm25: I wonder if all of those who did the challenge donated and did research about what ALS is. :Erm:

[mendoza82]

My husband done this few days ago. One of his friends nominated him. He hates to do it but still he did, but didn't donate anything :smile:

[mendoza82]

This is so wrong for obvious reasons but I did laugh - watch till the end.

She's a cute girl but I don't like at her young age she swears fluently

[sweet_mazza]

I got nominated thru Instagram...but I donated instead.

[Arthur Little]

Has anyone here done or got nominated for the ice bucket challenge?? :smile::smile::smile:

"Mendoza" similar stunt - even one 102-year-:olddude: I read about on the internet the other day ... :yikes:!

Yes, :iagree: it's for a good cause ... :anerikke: ... but still haven't risen to the challenge. :freezin:

[Michael Parnham]

She's cute girl but I don't like at her young age she swear fluently:(

Up to my father passing away at 87-years-old, he never heard me swear and I had never heard him swear either. For a child of any age to swear in front of parents is disgusting. The parents don't deserve children if they just laugh at their child swearing. They should be ashamed, because more than likely, the child has heard its parents using bad language. Glad people like that don't live near me! :NoNo:

[Arthur Little]

Joking aside ... I was nominated - and would do it - because I like a challenge. :biggrin: Alas, I don't have a clue how to make the video.

You will find 'em on most council estates - not being a snob, but that's where I pick 'em up from

I find it disgusting. I hardly swear and even at 40 years old have never sworn in front of any family member.

You only have to walk around the shops near me and you hear parents effing and blinding in front of their kids. So it doesn't surprise me one bit that video.

[les_taxi]

Just need someone with a smartphone to film it and post it on you tube or facebook :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Not to sure how to embed a vine video on here, but this is erm..... the best one to date!

Residents in bombed out Gaza are hoping to draw attention to the terrible conditions in the region with their own version of the ice bucket challenge that uses rubble instead.

I would call you cynical Les :wink: not rocket fuel maybe Palestine blood :NoNo:

:doh Here we go again :NoNo: time to move on :wink:

[les_taxi]

Yes, I'm not saying any more on this, we are not going to agree on it.

Moved on :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

I saw on TFC earlier some Sky Pilot demanding that none of the money raised gets used for stem cell research and suchlike

Hope you post on here the video I bet everyone in here can't wait to see you doing the ice bucket challenge :icon_lol::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Y'know, it's not that I mind doing it :nono-1-1: ... it's the getting sponsored bit I'm not so keen on, because I'd simply hate asking folk to stump up money afterwards.

[les_taxi]

Arthur, unless I'm mistaken you only donate about a £5.00 and then nominate a couple of other people.This is done on facebook usually so if you don't use facebook I think you can omit doing it anyway :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

Y'know, it's not that I mind doing it :nono-1-1: ... it's the getting sponsored bit I'm not so keen on, because I'd simply hate asking folk to stump up money afterwards.

I will send you £10 Arthur if you do it, but we need proof and I dont mean one of these :Shower: either

Oh right, Les ... I hadn't realised it was that straightforward. :smile:

[Ako Si Jamie]

I reckon the bucket of water should be poured over Arthur when he's on the computer.

That'll wake him up :icon_lol: :wink:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... :yeahthat:'s definitely more my scene, Steve, but thanks for your kind offer. :smile:
