Musicians or artists or what they're called these days! So this new Danish artist called Christopher had a concert planned in Copenhagen on his tour. He is a real pretty boy pop icon and my gf and her sister loves him. So far so good. Sister in law lives in Finland because of an internship, so for her birthday we bought her tickets home and back and two tickets for the concert so they could both go. She's only here for a weekend, arrives late Friday and leaves early Sunday, so not really time for much else to do while she's here other than going to the concert. Now this fucking prick has moved the concert to December so he could do another job.
Cant move the flight tickets as it'd cost a ton. I'm fucking pissed. We're two students who spend a lot of money on this gift and now it is just ruined
Hm that last paragraph is interesting. Since he didn't actually cancel the event, but moved it, I don't think we'll be able to get the tickets refunded

This must happen a lot where people travel a long way to go to gigs, and then have it cancelled. I bet there is something in the small print about how they are not responsible for your travel costs
It may say that in @Olgaline previous post, but its all Greek to me
Noob, I mute every bloody group conversation I've ever been in.Been invited to a Facebook conversation by the extended family, and it consists of people asking each other if they're okay every, fucking, day.
How do I leave without looking like a dick?
and deleting facebook prolly won't work.
It now brings fuckall attention to ALS but rather some C list celebs trying to outdo the other idiot in how to pour a bucket of ice water over yourself
That is the idea. A lot of people are still donating though. It is meant to be £10 donation or do the challenge. Some people are saying you only get to nominate if you take the challenge reguardless of wether you donate or not. It is also $100 in America.And Daniel Levy!
And I thought if you got nominated and then didn't go through with it you had to donate, you don't have to donate if you get a bucket of water tipped on you do you? So the fact that so many people are doing it means that less is being donated I guess...
Gotta be a bit of a dick to drown. Unless your jumping from a sinking ship or something.
I love winterSaw a video about a snowy place and realised that....aaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiii don't want winter!
I don't see any downside; ALS/MND makes some money, people watch other people get wet, or if they find it tedious, they don't. What's the problem? And from what I've seen, most people who take the challenge still cough up some money.

It's no longer about donating money for a good cause, it's about a pissing contest on social media.
I hate the peer pressure thing you allude to. Most of them are only doing it because they seen celebs do it. I will give to what charities mean stuff to me not be subverted into feeling guilty.Because I resent the fact that my social circle didn't give two fucks about ALS / MND until about two weeks ago. I have a friend's dad who was diagnosed with MND at the start of the year, so I'm very well aware and I've already donated money to both cancer and MND charities this year. Yet, when I object to pouring water over my head, I'm getting "FFS, it's charity, do your bit, be a sport, don't be so fucking miserable".
No. Fuck you. Cunt. How dare anyone accuse me of not giving a shit about raising awareness. I'm all for raising awareness, but for Christ's sake we're all very well aware now. It's all over Facebook, Twitter, the BBC and the Daily Mail. How about just "I nominate so and so to donate £10 to MND". Job done.
It's no longer about donating money for a good cause, it's about a pissing contest on social media.
Been nominated twice today. Will do it and make donation but so sick of the videos on Facebook so I won't be posting mine. I nominate Ed and TDC
