What happened to Chasing the Aurora?

[Sockpuppet]

Just giving needs you to be a reg charity.

As an aside I don't donate through just giving. They are money grabbing swines to the max.

Not only do they take 5% of the donation (+ gift aid) they also pass the charges onto the charity that they incur (i.e. credit card fees).

Bloody hope they were, I sponsered him! Only a few quid but even so....

Mind you, if he had that many wives to keep he probably needed the cash

As admin said a while ago, any money donated did actually go to the charities. What a strange bloke - mentally ill, probably.

Sorry, which CUK regular were you referring to there?

Just Giving ain't a charity mate!

Me too. I still parted with cash though. Generous to a fault me.

He gushed far too much for someone that would do that sort of thing.
