13 December
Another
big day in the BTW (not BW) calendar tomorrow, Wednesday 14th December, with the
2nd Annual Belfast Street Collection being held in …….well…………Belfast..
This is the day in the year when we Trikers show the public we are not just a bunch of really hard bastards who bite the heads off chickens (although I personally prefer the breast) and occasionally drive at 75 mph on the motorway (if conditions are suitable and it’s safe to do so).
No we have a softer side. A side that wants to help. A side that wants your money and if you don’t give it to us we’ll rip out your gizzards and feed them to the rabid dogs....or at the very least give you a filthy look.
Of our 150 members we expect an impressive 10 to actually show up and display their trikes for you, the ordinary poor people, to be impressed by. There will be home builds, which are built at home, factory builds, which are built in factories and stolen ones which are of course stolen. The famous ‘Dog Trike’ which has featured in a centre spread of Cullybackey Mushroom Growers Weekly and also came a well-deserved 3rd in the Taliban ‘Vehicles I’d Like to Blow Myself Up On’ competition 2010, will also be there.
Our chosen charity is the ‘NI Cancer Fund for Children’ and last year we raised an impressive, if I do say so myself, £3500 on the day. We can be found outside the City Hall and or, depending on numbers, Debenhams, and will be easily recognizable as the big mean ugly looking buggers with yellow buckets.
I expect all of you (my FaceBook friends) to make an appearance and put some PAPER money in my yellow bucket and no excuses accepted. Just because you are in Australia, the Middle East, Israel, the US of A or even Ballycastle is not a good reason to show up. Have you never heard of ‘Easyjet’?! Remember ‘It’s for the little children’ and I know where you live and replacing broken windows is expensive.

Collection
day went brill after a snowy, cold, wet and windy start we beat last year’s
total and have in excess of £3700 which is pretty good for 1 day street
collection. Stories to tell as always but I'm that bloody knackered I can't be
bothered. It'll have to wait until tomorrow. :-))))
