$2000

[wiseowl]

All donations are welcome, of course, but let's not get carried away with a donation of about £1600 from people with a combined net worth of circa £175m. It's the equivalent to someone with a net worth of £250,000 (i.e. equity on his house and savings etc) chipping in £2.26.

It's £1600 more than they had to. It's really petty to belittle it.

Wow. 

[True Tic]

Good for them I say . 

[Bobledgersheart]

Giving anything reflects well on them, just hope Latic's fans will respond also.

 

Frank's a gem !!!   

[Flemboy]

Safe journey Frank.

You are a marvel and  hope you raise loads for a very worthwhile  charity.

I’m just collecting for Prostate Cancer Uk, I’d be very pleased with that donation!

I thought the same initially but  I'm sure they're both involved in lots of other charities so fair play to them both for donating.

All the best Frank. Stay safe!

That's a very unreasonable comparison, to start with. But beyond that, and as @mick26 said above, they are both known for quite considerable charitable efforts (if that's genuine altruism or branding who knows?) - including the McElhenney's recently donating $100k to the Eagles Autism Foundation.

 

It's easy and tempting to cast aspersions.

Being so mean and plainly negative all the time must be quite exhausting, no?

[Littlemoor Lad]

It doesn't matter who hands money out to who or the amount

It's the thought that counts and I think it's a really nice gesture of good will from the Wrexham owner's.

Wonderful cause that Franks pulling out all the stops for and I wish him a safe journey there and back to us.

I have lost three very good friends to it and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

 

So pleased to read that you are doing well!!

 

I urge everyone to take that test when it turns up in your letterbox instead of dumping it in a drawer. 

 

Two or three minutes of embarrassment at the doctors could save your life.

 

Horrible disease.

100% agree with this. I had my prostate whipped out in June after being diagnosed in January. I was lucky - they caught it early and a few months on I’m pretty well back to normal. I didn’t have any symptoms other than a PSA that was creeping upwards, though not particularly high. First few days after the op were a bit challenging but the NHS has been fantastic. So yes, get checked asap after you hit 50 and don’t take no for an answer (some GP surgeries are reluctant to do PSA tests at that age but it’s your right).

l had a false alarm and ended up having pre cancerous polyps removed. that was bad enuf.

dont even be scared you might enjoy gettin fingered, just get it done

Just had mine checked fortunately everything is normal, I would advise all blokes to get it checked especially if there is a history of it in the family.

I certainly didn't enjoy the finger where the sun doesn't shine (which in any case reported normal ) but it didn't matter a jot in the scheme of things!
