    Oh mad.....so sad you've had to leave us so soon. A true gentleman and a giant of a man.

    And what a lovely kind face.

    Would never have believed I could feel this sad about someone I've never met.

    Who will I snog now:o

    I was wondering that too TM. ;)

    Have you had any offers yet? :rotfl:

    Is it wrong for a bloke to start welling up over a bloke he's never met?
    Reading back on all the comments that peeps have said for Mad have left me so touched. He was a good and decent man who had time for anyone. Missed, yes. Missing, no. Always with us. Long live the Elite. :)


    No, its not wrong Scamps. There are some lovely people here and few of us are untouched by the loss of somebody dear - myself included. :A
  • Sorry I'm late back.
    I am raising a Crabbies' Ginger Beer in honour of a true gentleman. Here's to you Mad. :beer:
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    Cheers Mad :beer:
    Three of us have donated on the original Mad Justgiving site from last year, one was a substantial amount, will it still go to charity even though the page was opened a year ago?

    Just going to have a hot chocolate not sure it will mix with the large Brandy I have had;) but I really feel the need to say Goodnight Godbless all as crying lots really does take it out of you. I would just like to say before I go "Well done Elite" :j:j:j:j:j:j:j
