Whats all this then - men who stare at goatsie??

Yes yes I've heard of the dreadful goatsie viral vid clip.

The men who stare at goats

This film is attracting rave reviews in the States, where it would appear that men who stare at goats is normal and accepted by society.

Time was when the humble goat was an excellent idea for a charity gift, now we learn that they have been elevated to be the subject of voyeuristic americans who apparantly cannot get enough of this goat action and stare and stare for hours in the hope of catching the little bleaters out.

The film begins with som men all staring intently at something. As the story unfolds we learn that the subject of their interest is a herd of goats.

Far away was a lonely goat herd, yodle ho yodel he ho he heee

I love Google

Ever wondered what that box was in the middle of www.google.co.uk?

If you type words the great google has a look around the internet and finds stuff that you might be interested in.

Brilliant

So what are you looking for

• I do like to be beside the seaside

• I do like to be beside the sea

• I want and easy life by the seo

• I want to be silly beside the seaside beside the sea

so i searched for easy living beside the sea

I'm still at my desk though so it would appear that Google has a way to go before it satisfies all our search needs.

Give something different - charity gifts for those in most need.

Always in search of innovative gift ideas I was intirgued by a blog post that was talking about Mary - Queen of Shops' efforts to drag charity shops kicking and screaming onto the high street and present themselves as smart boutiques and gift shops.

Charity shops online

Until such time as the charity shops buck up their ideas i thought I'd have a look online at what is on offer from the comfort and cleanliness of my own home.

What are charity gifts?

Searching for charity gifts online I was pleasantly surprised to see many sites dedicated to fundraising. Especially pleasing was the prominence of Oxfam Unwrapped which offers charity gifts as well as the usual clothing and books in their online shop.

Many years ago whilst unemployed I was a volunteer at an Oxfam shop and way back then accusations of over pricing were dismissed by emphasising the fact that it wasnt' supposed to be a cheap tat shop - it was raising money by selling donated clothes, books and gifts.

Charity gifts to those in need

A charity gift is one that will be given to people who need it the most. The idea is that you buy a charity gift - suuch as build a shelter, provide water or even give a goat and that gift will be given directly to where it iwill help relieve suffering - poor communties around the world will benefit from your kindness immediately.

Give a different kind of gift give a charity gift.

Q: When is a press release not a press release?

A: When its a PR Compass press release

PR Compass is a free service that offers to get your press release out to the editors desk inno time.

Soon your news will be picked up and included around the world's media empires.

Heres a couple of headline makers...

Latest News - Furniture made of wood!

This excellent press release about the hot topic Eco Beds goes on at great lenght to highlight the importanvce of using sustainable wood to make furniture and fails to note that wood actually does grow on trees.

Finding an Eco Bed - Not A Bed of Roses

The search for a green bed is clearly not a straight forward as I thought. Not only does the wood that is used for frame construction have to come from renewable sources but the fabric, filling and construction of the mattress presents additional headaches.

Sofa so good

Help is at hand - high street giants such as M&S are already promoting "green living" furniture including a sofa that is designed to ease your eco conciense as well as your aching legs.

So we can all rest easy in our beds tonight - we can rely on the sophisticated media distribution of PR Compass to let us know the latest hot off the press news as it happens.

Save the World - Sponsored Silly Event

Give a donation and help me help the planet.

Silly Fundraising Event

Although I've yet to think of an event or activity to attempt (although be very certain it will be silly) I already know what causes I'll be fundraising for.

Action on climate change

2009 is the year of climate change action and leading organisations are pushing this high up the agenda for international governments to take action to prevent global warming.

Oxfam GB will be aiming to drive public support to "get invloved" and campaign for action to reduce global warming.

Oxfam is a registered charity that relies heavily on donations to sustain its global operations - monitoring climate change and helping poor people survive the catestrophic effects of global warming.

See this climate change video that highlights the injustice of climate change and its impact on the poor around the world

Make a charity donation

By making a charity donation you will be doing your bit to allow leading organisations to put more pressure on world decision makers. You can make donations to this climate change fundraising - your donations will be Gift Aided to increase their value to charity.

If we all contibute more to organisations that will persuade international governments to take resposibility for global warming and less to the pollution we individually generate climate change could be stopped.
