If you decide not to kill yourself because of a message on the back of someone's hoodie, I'm glad you changed your mind.
Until we start to address conversations with action, these messages only make the wearer feel better, and change nothing, no matter the funds raised.

Imagine the backlash when people who don't want to be near alcohol in the stands at football are told they'll have to move their seat to a designated 'non-drinking' area... or vice-versa.

I can only apologise to everyone for not knowing how to respond to this. I don't know if my needing to er, 'leave' is based on my opinion, my bio, my avatar, or something else. My guess is it might be my star-sign.
Nice one @AmericanExpress - I got one of your credit cards to enrol in the '10% discount' offer at the @BHAFC stadium, only to find out I'm not entitled to it. Card cancelled. Amazing stuff...
Might have been nice if @BHAFC had included the 'walking' option in the travel advice for this Saturday's match at Falmer.

I'm looking forward to the massed-ranks of protestors taking to the streets of Portsmouth again. You want something to protest about? Make it something that actually matters. theguardian.com/environment/…
I'm waiting for the TV ad that tells me it doesn't matter if I stink, showering less often will help the privatised water companies protect their profits. 😓
