Planetarion Forums - Anyone in the Newcastle area feeling nice?

Ebany · 30 Jun 2004, 21:16

My call centre has gone and volunteered its services for Sport Relief (the sporty version of Comic Relief) on the 10th of July (thats a Saturday). As such we need people to man the phones so that people can call in and hand over their cash. While I'm afraid to say you dont get any commission, there are rumours of pizza (or some form of food), prizes, champers for the person who takes the biggest donation, and ermm...the slight threat of silly hats. Its working from 5:45 until midnight, sadly they have to say no booze permitted or god knows what might happen, but it lets you feel good about yourself for helping out and being a part of it (thats what they keep telling us at least).

Oh, and anyone who could then drive me home after would save the company a hefty taxi fare, and can probably have some booze into the bargain.

Come on, be nice, volunteer your friends and family

Kurashima · 30 Jun 2004, 21:22

So , would you by any chance work for a non-profit charity organisation, or a "professional fundraising Company".

Just curious

Noctu · 30 Jun 2004, 21:23

Don't do it!
She'll steal your wombles!

Neither, her place of work is 'assisting the operation' as it were

Stew · 30 Jun 2004, 21:29

I bet Roadrunner_0 will, he always volunteers, and given the possibility of free alcohol, my money is on him!

And MrL: we trust you are already assisting?

Deffeh · 30 Jun 2004, 21:30

Call centre is usually soul destroying work, but for charity i guess itd be pretty cool

Were i in newcastle, id feign intrest, then come up with excuses at the last minute

Ebany · 30 Jun 2004, 21:31

Sport Relief gets its call centres from people like my manager volunteering their staff to do it for free, for one night only.

We usually do recruitment.

Ste · 30 Jun 2004, 21:44

I could add newcastle into my list of places to visit on my road trip if I get somewhere nice to sleep...

MrMighty · 30 Jun 2004, 22:37

We don't want filth scum like you in our town dear.

the_dastardley_chihuahua · 30 Jun 2004, 22:37

You can sleep with me.

I'm right in the centre of town, you know.

Ring before 7pm and ask for Joachim.

Ste · 30 Jun 2004, 23:00

Interesting.
What's the catch?

Although Newcastle is miles out of my way...

I feel Ebany would get a greater catchment if she offered her porn video for call staff.

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 07:34

Given I dont have a copy of said video its not really a viable option. And I wouldnt do it anyway. I could d/l something, but I doubt it would be anything new to most people.

Go on, MM, you know you want to, and I'd love to see what the people at the call centre thought if I turned up with you in tow. They think I'm sweet and quiet and innocent.

On second thoughts, maybe I shouldnt ask people from on here along...

skiddy · 1 Jul 2004, 10:16

I would, but I'm offski that weekend to run around a field being chased by some branch of the UKSF in what they call an 'infantry training weekend'.

Which essentially means us lot get our standard rifles and some rations, while we get hunted/hunt SAS who are tooled up to the tits.

So, no. Basically.

roadrunner_0 · 1 Jul 2004, 10:27

hm, i am at work that day, but i think i finish at 1pm i think, so i may indeed do it, pm me more details if you want

EDIT: no dammit, im at an engagement party that night so cant help

i wish my memory was better

Marilyn Manson · 1 Jul 2004, 17:13

I can't, because I'm working.

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 19:31

Aah damn, oh well, lots of other people have been press ganged into it (like myself).

Although one of my colleagues quite fancied meeting MM....she thinks you sound like her kind of guy!

skiddy · 1 Jul 2004, 19:34

Heh, please, he's mine. Tell her to get over it and move on.

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 19:39

She sounded quite willing to fight you for him.

Pics please.

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 20:05

I dont generally take my camera to work with me. Shes small, blonde, and likes her motorbike. And a student. And evil.

This sounds a fairly acceptable basis. Where is she studenting at?

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 20:09

Somewhere local. She does it in the evenings so she can work full time. She just had her last exam yesterday.

Marilyn Manson · 1 Jul 2004, 20:15

Is she local?

PS. She sounds like a right little dishy minx.

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 20:17

She lives somewhere in Newcastle. Dont have a clue where though. Clearly you should come along for Sport Relief and get to meet her.I suspect you would get along rather well.

Marilyn Manson · 1 Jul 2004, 20:22

I can't. I am contractually bound to serve with the University.

Ebany · 1 Jul 2004, 20:37

between 5:45 and midnight on a saturday?

Marilyn Manson · 1 Jul 2004, 20:49

Especially between 5:45 and midnight on a Saturday. That's when I drain the bodies.

Still, I'm not stopping her from coming to me.

Marilyn Manson · 2 Jul 2004, 18:30

And may I ask why you're chatting to your work colleagues about me?

I was talking asbout how it might spoil my image if I brought along people from on here. We have to chat about something..theres bugger all work to do, so I'm getting dangerously close to revealing things I dont usually tell workmates. I leave in 3 weeks though, so it wouldn't really matter that much.

Marilyn Manson · 2 Jul 2004, 20:33

I find it all rather flattering.

Ebany · 2 Jul 2004, 21:06

You were the easiest to describe, and I reckoned she would be the type who would find you interesting. Although, I seem to recall telling her about skiddy some time ago. I think you got a brief mention a while ago, but sitting talking about Marilyn Manson coming over for the night in the middle of a call centre just sounds a bit....odd. She doesnt really 'do' computers so I always get a bit of that 'God I feel like a nerd' feeling when I talk about people on here.

Marilyn Manson · 2 Jul 2004, 21:09

I never thought of myself as being easily describable.

Ebany · 2 Jul 2004, 21:19

Well, you were the easiest to describe exactly how showing up with you in tow may confuse people who think I'm a nice quiet little thing. Skiddy would have just amused everyone by having difficulty choosing which girl to go for (my call centre is almost completely female), and RR_0 would have just reinforced their image.

Marilyn Manson · 2 Jul 2004, 21:27

Skiddy is a sexual predator. RR is really quite shy, and usually incapacitated with drink.

Ebany · 2 Jul 2004, 21:34

And you would have confused them wonderfully.

Marilyn Manson · 2 Jul 2004, 21:42

The women or the men?

Ebany · 2 Jul 2004, 21:43

All of them.

Stew · 2 Jul 2004, 23:53

I think we need pictures of said people to see how scarey there'd look.
