Someone had a go at me yesterday because I didn't do when nominated,
this was my response:
"I'm not doing it because:
1) I'm in Outback QLD with limited potable water supply. I can't waste it as I'm 300km's from the nearest town/station.
2) It's heavy drought conditions here already, it's getting really hot again and it's still winter. Water is a precious commodity.
3) I donate a four figure sum from my wages every month to a couple of charities. I don't need to be dictated to about raising money.
I'm too busy working to find the resources you need to fire the power stations so that you c**t, can charge your phone and post your silly video to the internet and also let you send me snide comments from behind your monitor. I'd should just stop and let you freeze in the dark, dickhead."
(apologies for the language. I'm pretty tired after a week of long days, bugger all sleep and knowing that I've got another 2 weeks to go until I can fly home to my family and chill out in the "real" world.)
