      Shock! Horror!

      If any my mates on facebook sent me a 'sob story' I can assure you I wouldn't be sending them money. That's just not etiquette...

      But Wez - what if they were stranded in Nigeria and desperately needed the money to get home? ;)

      ^ .. And were a princess, or the son of a famous politician killed in an accident as seen on CNN? ;)
