DEC (Disaster Emergency Council) is a group of charities that combine their efforts and resources to give the most effective relief to places that have SUFFERED man-made and natural disasters. Everybody should, without hesitation, nominate DEC for proceeds from the surplus prizes. In the UK we have so much support for all with disabilities, illness and conditions that require assistance and I would say that NOBODY in the UK is in DIRE NEED. My late father when pestered by myself and my siblings with 'I want....' would say 'I moaned that I had no shoes, until I saw a man with no feet'. We are talking about people here who have NO house, NO food, NO water, NO money, NO job, NO wherewithal to obtain any of the foregoing. Get real the lot of you - there should not even be a discussion on this matter, think what you would feel like if you were in THEIR shoes (or is that NO shoes, NO feet)?????!!!!! I do get real mad when I hear that expression 'charity begins at home'. What about 'Merry Xmas' you were saying a couple of days ago? Did you mean it truly? We are all humans sharing this fragile planet let your humanity show. I'll get off my soapbox now. Love & Peace to all for 2005
