Inspired by sites like smashmyipod.com and Give Bob A Dollar, which amaze me in their ability to be able to generate cash for doing absolutley nothing, I thought we'd try something similar here.

In two weeks time, we're holding a YesButNoButYes Christmas Lunch for our writers, but as we don't make enough cash from our ads to even pay our hosting bill, it's an "everyone pay for themselves" do.

So, I figured I'd give regular readers who love us so much the chance to throw a dollar or two into the Christmas Lunch Fund. If and when you contribute, you can add a note, and all messages will be read out to the team during the lunch, wedding-telegram style. I'll be taking photos to post here, so you can see just how much of a Bacchanal it turns into.

Here's your chance to cover the tip, pay for a bottle of wine, a bread roll or even a toothpick. You can pay via paypal or credit card.

All of which answers the question a lot of you must have been asking - no, we're definitely NOT too proud to beg :)
