The events they bid for themselves often pass with very little public fanfare other than a genuine thank you from Tel himself. Some of those who bid and fail give their bids anyway. Earlier this week someone won the bid and then found they couldn't go. The prize went to the second placed bidder and the original winner made up the not insubstantial difference.al_ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171548539589252930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065300364042643121.post-60210283797862612362008-11-13T12:21:00.000+00:002008-11-13T12:21:00.000+00:00Four star: thanks and wellcome.Al, I'm not agains...Four star: thanks and wellcome.<BR/>Al, I'm not against children in need it was just these donors seem to more interested in how they look than the actual charity work.

But how shallow are you if your name on the donor wall or the sponsored seat or the entire bloody education wing (hello Sackler family!) makes you feel good? Does it really make a difference?Cocktailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091341579556869010noreply@blogger.com
