Tony Groves
Tony Groves, financial consultant, noted tweeter and Broadsheeet columnist, is taking part in the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month in aid of Inner City Helping Homeless (ICHH).
And YOU can sponsor him.
Tony writes:
There’s over 8,000 people homeless, 3,000 of whom are children. Campaigns like #MyNameIs and the work of the volunteers at Inner City Helping Homeless have helped so many.
Please give whatever you can (at link below). It’s really needed and appreciated.

Good man Tony – looking fit.
headphones while running a race? *shakes head*
Well done on the marathon and the raising cash for charity.
Fair play to you Tony! Them fit legs will take you to the end I’m sure, good luck… I’ll throw a few bob in
Homeless charities are short of cash?
check out the edge-lord….
Can I sponsor the other one?
I’d sponsor a Tony vs Leo race if there was one to be arranged. Tony in the left lane….
The Far Alt Left Lane ;-)
Go for it Groveser. I’ll donate something nearer the date.
Nice work Tony
Good luck with the training !
You’ve got very weak, slopey shoulders, Tony. You’re a protestant?
Is that a sign of being a Prod? Crikey mackeroonie: I must rename myself Henrietta and start making preserves and gardening.
Ps, good luck, Tony. Rather you than me.
Yes. Along with keeping butter in the “cupboard”.
Uh, oh. I definitely am one. Must remember to stop saying AMEN loudly after “and deliver us from evil”.
Is Henrietta a proper prod name? I think it covers both extremes if you know what I mean ;-)
[that’s a wink up there]
You know what? I dunno. I used my mad google skillz and looked up “Irish Protestant Girl Names”.

now now that’s fighting talk
and I make excellent jam and chutney
Have you ever made fig jam? They import very nice jams into Chez Max on Baggot St. I’m a divil for them.
why yes I have
fig walnut and spice… nice on meat and cheese too
I don’t like figs at all.
Figures, BB.
Hey, I done-ded a word play. BOOM!
Sounds delish. Nice on an aul slice of comté, I’d say.
I’m starving. I bought my Christmas cake mix yesterday: must make it and start injecting it with brandy. Usually by Christmas it’s alcohol held together by a bit of fruit and a mush of cake.
That’s just the weight of the chips I carry on both shoulders!
What rational are we using to donate homelessness as a crisis? Finland, with a population of 5.5mil has apparently solved its homelessness issue with the present figure of below 7,000. Denmark 5.7mil at 7,000. Norway 5.2mil at 6,300. Wales 3mil at 15,000. New Zealand 4.8 mil at 40,000. Ireland 4.7 mil at 8,000.
Our figures are not perfect, anybody with no home is a tragedy but to donate it as a crisis seems sensationalist and if your running around calling everything a crisis without a rational point of reference, you serve only to desenstise people to what actually constitutes a crisis
He’s not called Tosh for nuthin.
Good one, but then again what’s to expect from broadsheet.ie, the intellectual equivalent of a lighter and a bus shelter
It’s ‘denote’.
Tone’s is a bit of a wetzer.

what’s a wetzer?
One who invokes arousal, and the corresponding sexual fluid production, generally
Some form of wet tissue, I’d imagine. It’s my similarity to Beaker from the Muppets.
Good man, Tony. Well done.
Fair play, Tony. I hear Rotide is to troll your run?
Jeepers Tony are you too tight to pay the race photographer and download an original?
