Yet you have money for punting

I was approached on the street once by someone wanting me to sign up for concern. I tried to put her off saying I had no bank details with me. She said the banks only down the road you can go in and ask. I just let on I'd be back later. I took the other road going home. I hate this pushiness. I also got phonecalls from other charities like amnesty international wanting me to sell tickets. I don't like been put on the spot. If I wanted to donate or collect I would approach them. Their getting too mcuh like eircom and companies like that trying to push you into something you don't want to do.

Yet you have money for punting

i havent been punting in a while. €200 pre week dosent get much in the way of rent, food, car, let alone punting aswell

i have no problem donating money when i want not when they say i should
