Hey Concord, did people cough up the dough for the ice machine? I certainly hope so...

Thanks for asking. I've collected 1850 (including my contribution) out of 5,220 pledged. I've been away and quite busy. X has some of the money (he has collected from others) we just haven't been able to meet. The good news is that the machine was already bought and paid for (on trust). Some people pledged from outside Dubai and they will give it to me when they are here.

There are only 2 people who pledged and "disappeared" so far! We may have to send the DFM boys to "bust some knee caps"!

Now, back to DK's charity it is up to 2,000.00 dhs, Next...

Remember, if it gets to 3,000, I have to have only half of it shaved of...and wear it around town for a week!

Praying the bidding ends shortly!

If you have the space you could foster a dog from K9 Friends until a permanent home is found (they are usually overfilled) or adopt a dog 04-347-4611 (K9).

Back to the topic, only 700 dirhams left. C'mon.

See now if someone was dressing in drag and walking down SZR I may be inclined to fork over some money.

Ok so my vote is for getting DK to stroll down the street in drag before we shave off half his hair .. come on people not far to go ...

and DK which charity?? Actually at the rate we are going perhaps it should be a detox fund - Save our Livers !!

OK, this is going a bit far! I only suggested getting my hair cut...where did the dressing up in womens clothing and wandering down the Sheikh Zayed Road thing come in?

With the way they drive here...I suppose you could classify it as 'drag racing' of a sort!

I ain't doing it! No matter how much you pledge! I look terrible in a frock and I definitely don't have the legs for it!

Right the bidding is now officially closed!!!!!

I think a grand total of Dhs.2400 for the sight of my flowing blonde locks hitting the floor is as good a price to pay! Have decided that a Childrens Charity will be the beneficiary and have made contact through a friend with an institution that helps kids with Thallasaemia and other blood disorders.

The official cutting ceremony will be tomorrow night (Thursday 24th August) and Concord has the honour (if he can make it) of being the official 'cutter' as he made by far the highest bid.

As for choice of venues, I am at a slight loss as I would like a place that is easy for everyone to get to and also might allow a little 'silliness' to go on. Possibilites so far are: The rooftop at the Radisson Media City. The verandah of the Dhow and Anchor pub at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. I would obviously have to call these and try to get some sort of confirmation that they will allow a small invasion...with hair clippers!

Confirmation as soon as I get it!

All those who pledged: I will be collecting funds so bring your wallets...and credit cards and Zimbabwean $ are not accepted!

I'm "Honored" but I think we can do better for the charity. So here it is: I will relinquish the honor of being the "cutter" to the highest bidder [bidding open until 3 hours before the time for the event tonight - to be announced by DK].

Reserve is 50 dirhams and bidding is in increments of 25 dirhams. So who wants the honor? Let the bidding begin!
