Philodor has said to me, in another thread:

"I'll send my unwanted 'free' TV license to a charity if you assure me you will get a job and come off the 'benefit'. "

I wish to take up this challenge. The TV license is worth 150 of her majesty's pounds.

Will Philidor agree to pay £150 to a charity of my choice if I can provide the assurances he seeks?

Philodor is like all racists & bullies in that behind it he is all a coward. He can barely be bothered to substantiate his 'facts' in an internet forum so you'll be lucky to get actual money donated to an actual charity.

Mike, are you sure you know what you're doing? He is a bitter old codger consumed by hate. His world would end ...[text shortened]... oved to him that not all Scottish people are unemployed. It might send him over the edge...
I think he is already over the edge.

However, I don't think he really IS a racist and a bully; at least not in his own small world. Just some guy who is bitter and upset that the world turned out not to treat him in the way he would like it to have. Too damn scared of himself if you ask me.

He claims to have 'taken part' in WW2.

Now then big-mouth I'll tell you what I'll do.

You prove to me that you work for a living and do not scrounge, and I'll send £150 to a charity of my choice and get them to confirm that I have done so, using my ID.

As to the half-Irishman, and the half-baked ex-patriot 'Wheely Bin' who. like a pair of jackals, hang around your posts I'll challenge them to donate a similar amount each to a charity of their choice, and prove they have done so if they want to enter the lists.

OK - how would you like me to prove my employment status?

(though I note you've moved from 'assure me' to 'prove to me'😉.

And I suggest we split the money - £75 to a charity of your choice, and £75 to a charity of my choice.

Can you explain exactly how you'll get the charity to confirm the donation?

No problem.

What is acceptable proof?

EDIT: Notwithstanding the fact that you are ignoring me of course.

I will give you the website and registerered charity number of the charity to which I will send £150 so that you can contact them for confirmation if you will give me a similar independent means by which I can verify your statement of employment.

I will not 'split' the agreed amount of my donation.

Balls to you, as they say in tennis.

You started of by saying I had to assure you I would get a job, and you would make a donation.

Now I have to devise a means of proving my employment status to you!

I hear the sounds of goalposts moving.

But still, lets see if we can get this to work.

Would you accept the word of a 3rd party - an existing, established user of this site?

Which charity do you propose to donate to?

Do you seriously expect any charity to reply to an unsolicited request for details of someone else's donation? You need to provide evidence of your donation.

Edit - perhaps if you got another user of the site (anyone except nargaguna) to confirm your donation.

(1) Yes.

(2) I will tell you if you agree to all the other conditions I have stipulated.

(3) If you agree so far I will check with the secretary of my charity whether she would be prepared to answer a letter from you (Redmike) asking if a donor named 'Philidor' has donated £150 to that charity since 24th October 2006.
