This week, those of you who commute on the Underground might notice a pesky bunch of students dressed up in hospital scrubs/nurses uniforms and shouting for your attention on your carriage such as these young ladies...

Or this assorted bunch...

...and you might be wondering why these people are doing this... It's because this week is:

St Barts And The Royal London School Of Medicine's RAG Week!!!

That's right folks, we're out and about Raising And Giving (RAG) money in support of over 40 different charities, last year we broke our own record and raised over £150,000, which beat every other university in the country except for Manchester, but they have about a million more students than us :p We have proudly raised over £1million over the last 10 years.

So anyway, if you see any of us about on your travels this week, please give kindly, from pennies to pounds. I'll be out too, so if any of you see someone (me) with ahem, 'OCUK' written on their scrubs, then just say to me "You dirty spammer", and you may have one of our priceless RAG magazines for free :p

Thank you for reading :)

Ahh, lunchtime, and I'm shattered.

KaHn's right about Manchester's population etc, which makes OUR work all the more impressive seeing as we only have a couple hundred of us out doing this!

And lol at Basmic :p

Boo Hiss... Bart's. Everyone knows February is when the proper RAG week happens! The circle line pub crawl is immense, I presume you have a similar drinking fundraiser? I swear they make the charity names harder and harder to say every year so by about the halfway point we can't say it at all. Bloody brilliant fun.

What charity are you collecting for?

I think I recognise the guy with the crazy grin as someone who went to the same school as me. That's not you by any chance is it?

We have our Dental Beer Race (I can't remember why it's called that, and no, it's not that obvious :p), 18 pubs/bars up and down Mile End Road and Whitechapel Road, complete with orienteering style scorecard. Circle Line pub crawl sounds cool, and punishing! :eek:

Charities:
RNLI
Macmillan Cancer
Breakthrough Breast Cancer
Children In Crisis
Leonard Cheshire Foundation
British Heart + Lung Foundations
Mencap
Help The Aged
Whizz Kids

and a lot more that I can't remember right now

Some very generous people about today, someone gave me a £20
Going to go and sleep under a hot shower now :)
