Default Birmingham Tornado Appeal

A Tornado Hit Birmingham a few days ago causing widespread damage.
Casualties were seen wandering aimlessly saying 'bang out of order','mental' and 'that did my head in'.

The Tornado decimated the area causing in excess of £7.55 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Ibiza and Corfu were damaged beyond repair. Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars were destroyed.

Many locals were woken before their Giro's arrived.
One resident, Tracey Sharon Smith a 15 year old mother of four said 'It was such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running into my bedroom crying and my hands were shaking that much I could hardly skin up whilst I was watching Trisha'.

The British Red Cross has so far managed to send 4000 crates of Sunny delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found numerous 'Elizabeth Duke' sovereigns,benefit books, bone china from poundstretcher and Argos catalogues. However they have not managed to save any furniture from Crazy George's as yet.

How can you help?

This appeal hopes to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster.
Clothing is most sought after. Urgently needed are Kappa tracksuits (his and hers preferably), white socks, Burberry caps, woolly Benny hats and Reebok trainers. Food parcels are also needed. They include McCain's Micro-chips, Aldi Beans, Monster Munch and Iceland Pizzas.
Alcohol is also in short supply, especially White lightening Cider and Carlsberg Special Brew.

Cash Donations are also needed. 22p buys a Bic Biro for signing on, £2.50 buys a jumbo sausage dinner, £3.00 buys a blag CD (not an original copy), £20 buys a fake M.O.T (or 10 gallons of red diesel to burn the vehicle out)and £26.00 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who has just got back from Kavos.

I find this post highly offensive.













I mean, why drag innocent Monster Munch into it?

Something on our local radio station made me laugh.... bloke rang in talking about the tornado in Birmingham saying "I dunno about damage, but as its Birmingham I reckon the tornado has done 2 million pounds worth of improvements!"

I think its a shame, it was about 100 miles too narrow when it touched down.

I had a thread running a while ago - 'Theiving chav gits - what would YOU do?'. I must admit that 'placing them in the path of a tornado' hadn't occurred to me......
