Please give us some warning before you go all out, as I'll need time to get Mrs Oneto to avert her eyes.

Have you lost the wide angle lens for your camera :laughs:

Lollita - that would be a zoom lense more like. I've already got that shrinking feeling.

One2 - I'll keep it pre "watershed" for Mrs One2

I think we're talking tomorrow pm after work.

Love and warmth to our friends in Abruzzo.

Just checked and we're at £2755.00

Nice one.

Cabin crew, doors to manual :laughs:

I have you tube on standby :bigergrin:

Are you selling tickets perchance? :jimlad:

Quick Lol - get the drinks trolley out! :bigergrin:

I think we are in for the long haul, who would have thought, I doff my cap to you JC ( J&C) ???
I like the cut of your jib :jimlad:

Mr Acorn - Brave man
If you wear a woolly hat during your mad dash through the olives I'll bung another tenner in the pot.:yes:

Mox

Come on people support the nudey chap - make his pledge worth even more to the appeal.

Moxie - you're on :yes:

All other requests considered for this afternoon's dash, just a tenner a pop. N.B. My medication precludes the use of heavy machinery and I have no desire to harm other living creatures. :laughs:

I should add that the olive grove is in view of the "main" road into our village so my bella figura could well be taken to rock bottom .

Oh, the anticipation!

I can barely contain myself - the very thought of seeing tight pert real buttocks has me all hot and bothered! :bigergrin:

Any chance of making it a Youtube vid? That's gotta be another way of raising some more dosh if we link it into the donations site.

Ghianda.

Come on lad! the world needs to know, are we talking 'little acorns' or, 'big oak trees' here? :laughs: Mrs Oneto is in all of a lather and I've been warned to expect some activity tonight if you put on a good show.......:swoon:

[quote=Oneto15;116003] Mrs Oneto is in all of a lather and I've been warned to expect some activity tonight if you put on a good show.......:swoon:[/quote]

Well thats gotta be worth a tenner!!!!!:eerr:

Mox

I hope she charges him more than that! A bargain at any high price I'd say!

It's for a good cause Mrs Oneto - hold out for more! :bigergrin:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I have given another tenner for Mr Acorn to keep his pants ON!:eerr:

We can't be seen to be behaving like The Brits Abroad:no:.

Great idea! Just make sure the nettles are cut low, as you dont want to be dragging anything through them (or am I flattering you a bit too much?). Mind you, as a friend on mine once asked his doctor, after being stung by a wasp in a very delicate place, "Can you take away the pain and leave the swelling?" :bigergrin:

Anyway, whilst Youtube is great, that would mean that anyone could view. What about, sendng the vid clip by email when you see a special donation of £10 on the fund raising page. It could be coded "little acorn"and message to include donors email address, so you can send once confirmed. This would raise the curiosity for those who have not paid and the rest of us can post comments about the spectacle!

It is not a payment for anything of course, so no worries about this being regarded as a provision of goods or services

Will this work?

Hi Ghianda

I am sooooo impressed:yes: because we all know that from little 'acorns' ....[SIZE="4"]mightly oaks [/SIZE] :winki:

Good Luck and I'm in for the extra tenner.

[quote=Persephone;116009]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Aw come on - of [U][I]course[/I] [I]we can[/I][/U] Percy..... You can save his blushes (and yours) - all you have to do is let him use the standard 'Brits Abroad Uniform'.

That is:

1. Hanky (tied in four corners) on head.
2. Wear black socks.
3. Wear 'Jesus' sandals.
4. Carry kiddies bucket and spade. (The bucket to save his blushes and the spade to dig himself out of the hole he's got himself in)!

More tenners (and more naked men) please...:yes:

Or is that Minxie?? What will (and him) say?

I'll bung in a tenner for the left sock! (Maybe enough extra tenners will get you dressed like Michelin man).:bigergrin:

Quick. A few more tenners, for a few more articles of clothing, pleeeeeeease, for the sake of dignity.

[URL="http://www.justgiving.com/italy-abruzzo-earthquake"]Justgiving - ITALY Magazine Abruzzo Earthquake Appeal[/URL]

Are we too late????? Hope not.
An extra tenner if you can do the whole course with a poppy, or similar flower, clenched between the butt cheeks. Tha attachment must be by pure physical muscular effort ......no sticky tape. If he does it right, and completes the course with said flower still clenched, it will slow him down significantly! Better video that way.
Sprat & Pilch

Everything to play for now Mister Acorn!

Come on [B]more[/B] tenners [I]more more more[/I] - this poor fella is going to be running around buck naked with a woolly hat on, then pants, then no pants, one left sock on, whilst all the time ummm... carrying a flower about his nether regions! :yes:(should he actually agree to the last!!):eerr:

Dress him, undress him for only ten quid!

So, like most Saturdays I got back from work late and decided to go for wander in the Olives. I hope all of you who have sponsored my "mad moment" and given to the forum red cross appeal will take something positive from the experience. Me, I'm off for couselling.

At the sponsored request of Moxie, a woolen hat was an "allowed" addition to my nudity, and likewise I sported a left sock for another tenner from David Uno (so that's where the name comes from). The sunglasses - well it's Italy, so that's just part of the uniform. You can see the sock in the video.

The video is in post production and will be released on the forum later this evening. The editing team are presently working to ensure that a certain mister Jonathon Thomas does not make a surprise appearance :bigergrin:

And don't forget, we can all have a laugh, but there are people just over the other side of the Appenines from where I was streaking who won't be laughing for a good while yet. Let's all dig deep again to make sure that at least their basic needs are guaranteed in the short term until the real work begins to kick-start their lives back to some normality.

Perhaps one of the lady members of the forum could be prevailed upon to pixellate John Thomas were he to be so good as to make an appearance :bigergrin::bigergrin:

Reports are coming in that a naked English man has been cornered by the local caribinieri.

The only way for him to escape is to donate another £10.

Reminds me a little of the Womens Institute calender.

Gander - you are a STAR! I love you - and I have (almost) all my own teeth - should you ever tire of Percy. Look ~> :bigergrin:

Now theres an idea!

All that we need is 12 blokes from the Italy Mag Forum, in suitable poses (tasteful of course) and we can make an online calendar!

If I can get 10 responses (there are 2 of us here), I will arrange to put this together and those willing to donate a fiver or tenner, will get the finished product sent to them by email.

If it gets a lot of interest, we could go into print!!

So, how many volunteers do we have? Think of a theme connected to Italy for your photo.... Tower of Pisa suitably placed (I wish!), Michelangelo's David (with fig leaf) that sort of thing.

PM me, if you want it to remain a surprise as to whose in.

My sister did something similar a few years ago at her workplace, the caretaker and his floor buffer were a joy to behold.

Sorry guys, but I'd already set off before i read your post/offer/insult. Odd though, 'cos in the video (to follow soon) it does look like I'm running with a poppy (seed loaf) or something up me Craxi :bigergrin: (subtle political link)

I'm not sure if I will sleep tonight. On the one hand if my "show" is a "no show" then you'll be left having to walk the dog yourself. On the other hand, if my show tingles for Mrs One2 and the jungle starts to rumble at Casa One2 then the mental imagery will be like listening to the neighbours "at it" above my old flat in Crouch End. :laughs:

Video is nearly ready.

Thanks Russ - I'll just let the "beast" loose I think. Lot's of people have given several times already and my pledge was to release the goods once a donation ceiling had been passed. :smile:

However if anyone wants to give more when they see my chopper then "good on 'em"

The production office are still working on the logistics i.e. we have never done a video link off our 10 year old camera before :veryconfused:

By the way, I take a bath of nettle leaves every Saturday to maintain purity of thought so some immunity in the nethers has been built up already :laughs:

The tension is almost unbearable.....

Mr Ghianda,

Mrs Cinghiale & I both agree you have a beautiful body. Mrs Cinghiale is so impressed that she too is tempted to offer to run buck naked through your olive grove - but feels she needs 2 months notice first so she can diet!

Well done you! We're waiting up tonight so we don't miss the video.

Come on guys, we need another 9 months, if we are going to make this happen.

Dont be shy, no-one will see :laughs:

Russ

[url=http://www.justgiving.com/italy-abruzzo-earthquake]Justgiving - ITALY Magazine Abruzzo Earthquake Appeal[/url]

We're just waiting for frigging utube to load the darned thing. :SLEEP:

My body was once beautiful, toned and finely tuned by a life of windsurfing, cider and sangria. :yes: As you are about to experience though, that was some time ago. Now only the signs of the cider and sangria remain :laughs:

La Cinghialina is welcome here any time - as are you.

Don't worry if you can't get it up :bigergrin:, there's always tomorrow! Re run with newer equipment?

Calendar...Is it going to be a secret until the publication as to who will be showing?:reallyembarrassed:

Oy, if you blokes on the forum (and don’t for a minute think I don’t know who you are) don’t come forward, you will be named and shamed. I am in much need of a smart coffee table publication.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
PS Failing that, applications from ladies with stubborn facial hair maybe considered.

Another brave chap has stepped up to the plate, although we are negotiating on a summer month, as April can be chilly and a late frost could cause embarassment:eeeek:

All participants will remain anonymous until the "big reveal".

Now who would want to miss an oportunity like this?

I want Colin Farrell to play me when the film is made!

Hi

I think that all this is trully wonderful. Obviously any male running naked in Italy NEEDS to have a mobile phone clenched tightly to his ear, otherwise he has not fully accepted the full culture of his adopted country!!

I think another run is needed!! £20 and I want photos

I think the whole world must be online tonight, because the Youtube vid upload is still, well, uploading. Sorry for the delay all you spice lovers. I'm not holding back for effect :no:

Oh and z,adjey - I agree about the mobile phone accessory, but when you see what I'm carrying in the clip I hope you will part with your money just the same. :smile:

While you are all waiting for today's offering, I've tracked down the youtube of Ghianda and Persephone's first meeting.
