Adopt a Tiger for only £3 a month is says in the advert in my morning paper.

But where would I keep it?

I hate those bastard begging ads popping up every ad break on the telly too...

Only three quid a month - thirty six quid!  eeek:

And no doubt it is a nightmare to extract yourself from the arrangement once the standing order has been set up...?  noooo:

To be honest, I couldn't choose between a tiger and flood relief... Shrugs:

It's all those photos of Asian kids with a Harelip that really piss me off.

What can I do? My £2 a month won't help much.

What would help would be if they stopped marrying their sodding first cousins ~ that would help a lot.

I remember collections for flood victims when I was a kid... I think Blue Peter collected milk bottle tops for them...

Something is clearly wrong when ~40 years later we are still doing the same thing...  noooo:
