I play all the time to raise money for various charitable organisations and transplant groups.
Brolly and myself over the past seven years have probably raised over $5,000,000 - A lot of going to help liver transplants and medical research into things like alcoholism and the like..

Take my writings as pompous if you wish, your assessment is way off. I belong to the movement of "Pass it On" which I do GRATIS at every opportunity. As for pontificating, you may see it as that, others may see it as imparting knowledge gained.

My days of playing in bars and dance halls for personal monetary gain are long past.
I much prefer to play to discerning audiences for deserving causes.

This years charities that we're contributing to are "Cure Leukemia" and The "Birmingham Children's Hospital" Where as a child I spent 5 years in an Iron Lung recovering from Poliomyelitis, the doctors said I'd never walk again, they were wrong, but because of the intensive physiotherapy I missed most of my schooling, just completing 18 months in total.

So I know a little, but the little I do know, I know a lot about. Primarily because I learned from reading books through 2 mirrors whilst on my back struggling for breath and waiting for the nurses to come and turn the page, they were always chatting in their common room, and consequently I read every page of every book about ten times.. Something I must admit I'm somewhat reluctant to do with some of the derogatory remarks here..

BTW It's Bollox .. Not "Bullocks" at least If it's aimed at a "Brit"
