: Huggy, that's the best one yet. Too many of us go through life thinking we're doing all these wonderful deeds ... charities, if you will ... when really it's no sweat off our brow.

Thanks Rich, this is a favourite of mine too. For me, charity is not about what you give, but about what you give up that you can't afford - time, energy, money, emotional support etc. And Duncan? The ultimate charitable act.
