    I think it's nice really.....Mad's song still helping a charity close to his heart ( he'd laugh about it being inadvertently :D) And another great amount raised for Cancer research, a charity close to so many of our hearts. Win Win :)

    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. :)
    Nothing wrong in that scamps , it's human and so nice that someone many of us never met had such a positive impact on many people in such a short time .
    When I was told of Mads passing it was just a fact but when I logged on and read the touching and open tributes of love and support for this man and his family and friends I began to feel a little sad and bleary eyed ...so I'm going to toast Mad once more for all the dancing and wombling fun he gave others .
    Mad thee Man .
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .

    I'm sat here sniffling like a good un!!


    Mad you were one of a kind, I cannot believe this devastating news. Your humour brought a light to the Elite like no other and you will be dearly dearly missed. Rest in peace, kind and gentle soul :heart2:


    Love ya Mad :kisses3:
