These Boots...

[big screen satellite]

ok after Llyod's suggestion, i've come up with a plan...

as you may or may not know, i am bidding on these boots:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Underworld-cha...QQcmdZViewItem

and Lloyd suggested that some people might wanna chip in to help me acquire them... so...

if anyone does want to chip in for these boots, then well...what i propose is this:

Whoever chips in some money, i'll send the boots in a platic display container, for a short period of time, you can then take a picture of you with them, and then post it on a dedicated website - which we can all view and that way we can all share in them...

a bit like the belly photos (and a bit like the old dirty box that went around)

after their World Tour they'd come back to this happy home...and be put on display (until such time that my museum opened)

what do you reckon ya or nay?

(i have a paypal account, and the money is going to charity anyway, so what i pay, providing i win, will benefit the National Aids Trust, NAT - i suggest £5 per person - but as i'm bidding anyway i'm open to offers - but if we can all help this charity out then thats even better is it not???)

i would like to win these, but i won't pay waaay to much on my own, i have some funds but if the auction gets silly then i won't go beyond my means!!!

let me know ya thoughts, this wasn't suggested by me, but i think its quite a good idea (obviously)

I mean I didn't want to hurt your feelings but that's almost obsessive!

'Obsessive' doesn't really cover it I think it's quite numberonesuperfanish.

i was getting scared when i clicked the link, half expecting to see a $1500+ pricetag. its only £50. why on earth would people want to chip in so that you could keep them for that small a price?

other than that, the sending them around and takin pics idea is pretty cool. be neat to do that with a few things items, no?

'why on earth would people want to chip in so that you could keep them for that small a price?'

My idea was/is, when underworld construct a piece of art to be sold in an auction to raise money for a good cause, then we all can donate to it by chipping in or topping up Matts bid.
