St. Laringitis Carol Success
The St. Laringitis Band from the deepest, darkest southwest of England have just completed a carolling marathon in aid of a local hospice.
They have spent the last 72 days on a non-stop carolling operation that has raised £37.42 for the Lamenting Labrador Dog Hospice.
Treasurer Mary O'Hoolohan said, "The operation mainly centred on gatecrashing posh pubs in the local area and annoying people who were simply out for a quiet meal with their loved ones, annoying them with badly played carols and then badgering them into handing over money they can ill-afford to lose! We calculate that we must of laiked O Come All Ye Faithful about 3,500 times!"
"We had a mixed response. A lot of people simply told us to fuck off but others were eagerly pushing as much as 50p into our collecting boxes!"
