Another bloody thread on orphanages / everything other than skiing !!!!!

Just checked in today again to veiw the board and once again it was all about orphanages/abandoned children !

Not knocking a good cause, however this last year , this board has been saturated with such posts.

Have to agree with some of the other posters regarding the mob attack mentality when someone posts anything that may be considered anyway negative about Bulgaria.

I have been about this board for a good few years now and over the course of time you get to recognise those that have a conflict of Interest.

On the other hand, you also that the PP groupies (nothing against PP ) that will concur with every point the guru states.


Just wish the board went back to it was a few years ago. Far more fun, far more banter, not as many defending their own commercal interests. The debate was about skiing and all things assosciated with it.

Yeah .. I am with Donkey on this one!!

I agree .. it's all very sad and my sentiments are with these poor people ... and yes.. it needs to be aired and made aware of ...

But ... this is a 'Ski Discussion' board and I think it should be clearly kept as that ..

Roll on winter :-)

I know there are quite a few that have not been posting this year, or significantly reduced the number of posts.

IMHO its because of this. Anyone any good jokes ?


P.S. Anything regarding orphans would be considered bad taste, given what has been said previously.

The Donkeywalloper - this is just for you.

To everyone that IS interested, the thermometer has been changed on the orphanage website to reflect a small increase in the heating fund. With a bit of luck and a following wind we will get the heating done very soon.

And TDW, I hope YOUR bloody toes freeze off this winter instead of the kids - so go and ski your heart out and I hope you see most of the snow very close up. Now that would be one hell of a joke ...... Wink

"aggressive, rude and arrogant" - bit like the pot calling the kettle black methinks. Very Happy

BTW, if asking for help to get the heating installed for the children is "causing trouble" - I intend to continue doing just that until the job is completed and, contrary to your opinion, there are people who have readily donated and read this site who are interested in the progress of this project.

Yes but then they go to another site to talk about skiing. I've donated money and halved my baggage allowance and killed myself with hand luggage to get as much clothing to bulgaria for the kids. The site is supposed to be about skiing though.

Thanks for your response andie.

This is especially for you.....im not doubting your passion, the cause, the fundraising and everything else.

what i have a problem with is the number of seperate threads on this. Why not put all information into one thread instead of filling the board.

You mightnt like this but it appears to me that there are a few that want to be seen as major players, hence the number starting threads with updates. It may not be that and i may be wrong, it may be a ...

However the fact remains, and im only speaking for myself here, this year i used the board ( visits as well as posting ) because i got sick and tired of the number of threads dominating the board.


Now no doubt i will be attacked from all quarters, however i speak the truth
