Happy Birthday to us! Party with us and help School Kids getting a decent Breakfast!
On 12 August 2012, it will be five years that we provide the world with information on Irish actor Damian O'Hare's work. Which just goes to show that ideas conceived at 3am after a pub crawl don't necessarily have to be bad (though we're glad we didn't go for calling the site "D'Oh!")
Running such a website is only fun if the fans to go with it don't take things seriously, and luckily, that's the case with ambarussa.net. Thanks a lot to all of you who contributed to the website, for mailing news, making screencaps and all the silly discussions.
(I still think "Dr. Burnett carrying kittens in a basket to safety from a burning house while single-handedly rescuing 30 girlscouts/nuns/vicars from a bus stuck in a ditch" would have made an awesome episode for "The Royal"!)
Thanks also to Damian O'Hare; we'd never made it to five years if he'd decided to drop acting and become a plumber. The people who "discovered" him in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies continued to follow his work all through the years, from The Royal to Taking the Flak to Hatfields & McCoys. If you manage to get and keep such a loyal fanbase, you know you're good at what you're doing.
So - party! We won't share the cake, but we want to share the food: to celebrate five years of ambarussa.net, we've set up a fundraising site over at justgiving.com for "Magic Breakfast", a charity which provides a decent breakfast for some of those 700,000 children who arrive at school too hungry to learn every day. Please help us to reach our target until August. All you have to do is click the button below, get more information and, if you feel like and can afford it, share a quid or two. Your donation will make the wee ones happy, it will make the charity happy and it will make us happy. And happy Webgnomes are a very good thing!
Thanks so much for your generosity, and to the next five years!
Your friendly neighbourhood Webgnome xx
PS: As usual, the person responsible for this charity drive is the Webgnome; Damian O'Hare is not involved with this in any way, form or shape. Have complaints? Then mail us.
