<p>I was planning a non-charity cycle ride to Paris. I intended to take the Eurostar on the way back, and brilliantly accidentally bought a ticket from London-Paris.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>When Eurostar refused to change my ticket, I fired a word typhoon at them, only getting them to relent my mentioning that the ride was 'for charity'. Which it most definitely wasn't.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thus, to keep the pigeons of karma from cluster-pooing on the rest of my life, I've decided to try and raise the price of the Eurostar ticket plus credit card charge (&pound;93) to give to Action Aid.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In fairness, I don't think Action Aid have anything to do with trains or bicycles...but maybe after this, they'll pull their fingers out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please donate loads of money to make my lie a forgivable one.</p> <p>Keep up with my 'Accidental Charity Cycle Ride' blog here:</p> <p><a href="http://idiotsyncratic.blogspot.com/2011/04/accidental-charity-cycle-ride-part-one.html">http://idiotsyncratic.blogspot.com/2011/04/accidental-charity-cycle-ride-part-one.html</a></p>
