OT: Books, graphic novels, so much freecycle

Posted on
  • I'm moving, so clearing out a load of books I probably won't read again and don't have space for. Take as many as you like. Two things:

    • If you take some, I'd really appreciate if you could give a donation to Crisis - I won't check on this, so it's your call. Even just buy the next homeless person you see a coffee or a sandwich.
    • I'm not around much in the next few weeks, so pickup would need to be arranged - preferably from SE18 on a Sunday afternoon

  • can i take all the graphic novels and neil gaimans? will make a donation to crisis.

  • Dibs on V for Vendetta a first book by Terry Prathet (colour of magic). Will donate 10£ to charity.

    Thank you.

  • Sorry Drag, wildthin9 has already dibsed the graphic novels. But you're welcome to CoM.

  • Could I get the hitchhickers set. Freakonomics sounds interesting too.

  • Yes you could.

  • drag can have v for vendetta...i don't want to be greedy.

  • @kl when is good for you? I pretty much finish at 6pm in Croydon each night and then can cycle anywhere needed.

    Will go the route of feeding/clothing some homeless people, crisis do great things but like all big name charity they take a cut of whatever is given(admittedly the long term support structures they provide can get someone off the streets better but at this time of year it's just getting to tomorrow for some).

  • It's Shooters Hill, and I will be coming back on Friday night this week, by 7pm. Otherwise, it'll mainly be Sunday pms. I mainly live at gf's now, and will be working away a lot in the next month, so not at the house very often.

    V is now with CoM for drag, very decent of you, wildthin9 - imaginary rep.

  • I could ride out to shooters hill, I live in streatham it's not so far really just ride like I'm going to SE drinks and keep going.

  • Cool, anytime between 7 and 9 this Friday would be fine.

  • Might have to undibs my 2 books. Just looked at the map and it's really far from where I live - and working every sunday, so not even possible to pick up...

    Sorry and thank you wildthin9 and kl!

  • @DragunovCZ1 where are you I'm sure I could take 2 more and then ride them somewhere nearer.

    Today - croydon(work) - shooters hill - streatham(home)
    Tomorrow - streatham - wood green
    Sunday - wood green - hackney - streatham

    @kl will pm you my number and try get more address info
