Submarine runs aground off Scotland
Guardian: No reports of injuries or environmental damage as HMS Astute runs aground off Isle of Skye
It is Friday and I felt like doing a quick *Rive Gauche* post. It is unfortunate indeed that a submarine named *Astute* has gone aground.
It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I draw your attention to a fellow tweeterer @Saryapples – who is going to abseil off a very high hotel! If you would like to donate a modest sum (Even a £1 helps) you may do so here!
This is what Sarah says!:
So Rebecca & I have decided to jump off the 12th floor of a hotel in Newcastle! Abseilling from the roof of the Vermont Hotel….. and we’ll be dressed in a suitably Halloweeny fashion… costumes to be confirmed!
I know that we all receive a lot of these requests… but even £1 would be SO gratefully received. The Stroke Assocoation does amazing work, for a condition that will sadly touch us all at some point -every year an estimated 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke.I can guarantee that the photos we’ll post after the event will be worth your sponsership alone!
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page !!
The Vermont restaurant is very good for meals too.
Is @saryapples one of your lawyer pals Charon?
@Saryapples is twitter star – always lively and amusing… know her through twitter only!
That’s why twitter can be so amusing…. meet some interesting people real life and ‘virtual’ !
[...] said she would abseil and she has…. here is the original post… if you wish to support the charity she did it [...]
