    My biggest and best win to date (washing machine) was thanks to a comp posted by Chelsea1969. Although I never knew him other than a regular poster on here I feel saddened that a life has been cut so short. God bless him and his family and may he rest in peace.
    Massive thanks to all who contribute on the MSE forums, especially on grabbit and competition boards

    Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we have always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me, Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect without the trace of a shadow on it, Life means all that it ever meant. It was the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well.

    Listen to yourselves, I don't know who this fool was , but you will all be entering comps tomorrow like he/she never existed @getagrip.com
    You don't know much do you newbie?
    Like how to keep your stupid thoughts to yourself when people are showing respect to a good man who we will all miss and regret passing

    Sad news and sadder that someone takes it upon themselves to troll such a thread

    A ban seems a good idea for such people

    Sad news.:(
    I must admit that I didn't really have much to do with him on here, but someone has posted a very lovely tribute song for someone called Ed on the Winners Circle page on FB.
    Forgive me for asking, but am I assuming rightly that it is the same person?

    My condolences to his family and friends during this very sad time. R.I.P.

    I've also reported post #52. What a waste of space, posting intentionally hurtful and disrespectful comments like that, this is a loss of life we're talking about. :(

    I never really spoke to Chelsea1969, but did see some posts here and there. I'm sorry I didn't get to interact more with him before this untimely death, from what you're all saying it sounds as though he was a wonderful guy. Rest in peace xxx

  • Had many laughs on FB with Ed, a gentleman full of humour, even if often at my expense! But that's what made him a true character and a pleasure to have known. You will be truely missed Ed x
