Fest goodies or not as the case may be!!

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps..Just wondering who actually received their pre-paid fest memorabillia??..I paid for a pit-shirt with my name on it..A baseball cap and a pint glass but was informed that they got sold on the day..(Even though i was there) to raise money for so called charities that i even donated £300 to???..WTF???..Who else didnt get their goodies...Or was it just me?...

Hi

I am replying to this post as I feel I must, as this constant digging at me is getting to the point were I will take further action!

Well Mark you and your friends are certainly doing you best to try and discredit me!

Your items have been re ordered as you well know, and I am still waiting for them to be made as I am for the three people who orderd items at the fest!

Now with regard to you making a donation of £300 is a load of s_ _t.

You made a payment into the fest bank of £220 on the 18th July of which you asked me to put £50 towards the presentation piece for Oliver leaving £170 donated to the fest charity.
If you think you have been hard done by, then all I can say is you don't know what hard done by is with regard to the fest!

I have personely donated and paid out far more than a mere £170 to the fest charity and with regard to Oilvers presentation piece over double what you did.

So please stop playing the martyr, or look lads what I have done! (As you usualy do!)

Actually get your fact's straight..You forgot the signed watercolour that i paid for that cost £80..So add that to the total of £220..Equals......wait for it...£300...This post would not exist if you had done the decent thing and NOT of sold my pre-paid for goods...Some of that charity money was kindly donated by people on this forum and the rest from my pocket as it has been the last three years..It never has been about me as im not a selfish miserable slanderous prat..if you feel you wish to take further action then go for it..Give it your best shot..But be warned i have some serious ammo in my arsenal of nasty emails and posts from you..And if the truth be known they sometimes slated off others!...Not good...I dont know why you have hated me ever since i joined this forum but in reality i dont give a st anymore..I have nothing to prove...

Just to add...losing money on an event is BAD organising and mis-management of funds...Selling goods that people have paid for in advance is bad business conduct...I give to charity because i want to not to make myself feel good...Need i say more...

Primarily...Yes..But as people know i have bitten my lip on many occasions and still have shown respect and defence towards my fellow wedger when the shyte has hit the fan..I have been rediculed and accused of bodging my wedge..Not being able to afford a wedge and advised to leave it to those who can..Being told that im not living in the real world..Been called a waste of space..Been slated off for trying to help to do something good..Being told i cant organise anything yet clearly i can..Been accused of "Not knowing anything about a wedge"...attempts have been made to make me look small in front of a crowd due to someone elses bad organising..Been called tacky and have no concept or ideas worth considering...Being accused of only getting the wedge personality award last year due to no-one bothering to vote for anyone else...Been accused of creating problems and causing friction by saying what i mean..Even though it was said by others only mine was picked up on..Being accused of attention seeking..I have just got over agoraphobia so i dont know how you work that one out..Been ridiculed for attempting to make a girlie calendar that was looked upon as disgusting which in fact was classy NOT brassy and raised money for a worthy cause..Normally i would not let all this bother me but how long do i put up with this nonsense?..I feel im being bullied and my natural instinct is to fight against it..Im nobody's whipping post or scapegoat..And i have had enough of defending someones character when all they do is tread mine into the dirt...Ziga

I think it would be nice for all those who either bought raffle tickets or made cash / raffle item donations to know exactly how much has been donated and to which charity, so that all those involved can give themselves a big pat on the back.

How unappreciative can you get.

Sorry for butting in but £170.00 is NOT 'mere', its some ones earned cash and to describe it in that manner by someone who should invite respect is ill judged, bad mannered and insulting not only to the person it is directed at but also to others who may have contributed, tact I'm afraid Andy is definitely not your strong point, whilst I respect your determination against the odds for the horrific injuries you received that should not be used as a smoke screen to force bigoted beliefs and insults at others, we are all entitled to opinions but perhaps on here and in public keep the inflammatory ones to ourselves, John.

Especially when i have NO income..Ok this year i had some money passed onto me from the death of a family member but the last two years i gave more than i had in the bank!..The wedge with girls calendar didnt come out of my pocket but i finished off my car getting to yorkshire and back to help organise it..It was well worth it and i would do it again!..The money donated is a culmination of the profit from the wedge calendars and the kind donations from the people that bought them..The rest is made up from my pocket as a token of thanks and a token of rememberance to lost friends and family..Not because i want everyone to think "Oh what a nice guy ziga is"..Cos i can be a right bastid also!..It makes me smile to make people smile and thats the bottom line..Its something i have done ever since i was old enough to vote..Then 20 odd years ago a drunken pedestrian ran out in front of me whilst i was working for a mini-cab company..He smashed into my windscreen and rolled off the bonnet and died right there in front of me...Im not telling you this because i want sympathy or empathy..There is nothing that can change the past but what we do now has an effect on the future and thats what matters..I try to do what i can to make life a bit more bearable for those who are suffering or worst off than me..If i had more then i would give more...I would never be rich with money thats for sure but i feel rich in life as that in itself is a gift...A "Gift" im thankful for...I do feel bad tearing into anyone but its not nice to be down trodden when all you are trying to do is to do something good...Ziga
